ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Brief Background

 

Education and Research is a journal of the School of Education at the University of São Paulo - FEUSP. Since 2018, it has been published continuously in a single annual volume.

In the Qualis Capes evaluation (2017-2020), Education and Research maintained its classification as A1 in the field of Education.

The journal's abbreviated title is Educ. Pesqui., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, references, and bibliographic captions.

 

 

History

 

Published since 1975, originally under the name Journal of the School of Education, initially, the journal aimed mainly to disseminate works produced by FEUSP faculty members. From 1996, it began to publish articles by researchers from other institutions, including foreign ones. At that time, its Editorial Board was also reformed, which came to include researchers from national and international institutions, alongside faculty professors.

In 1999, its editorial project was updated, referencing the current standards for international scientific publications. The journal began to be also distributed in electronic version and was included in the SciELO library, with open access to the public. This expanded the dissemination of the editions, as well as the exchange with national and foreign researchers, and allowed its indexing in major databases. It has since been known as Education and Research.

Until 2004, the Education and Research journal was published semi-annually, when it moved to a quarterly frequency. In 2010, it adopted a quarterly periodicity, and currently, it publishes in a continuous flow, in a single annual volume. Thus, the approved and edited works are immediately inserted into a specific volume of the journal, which contributes to the agility in the editing and publication processes of the approved works.

Since 2010, it has used the SciELO Submission system in the reception and processing of the article evaluation process. This has contributed to the professionalization of its article submission process.

The journal is indexed in the main international and national databases, which significantly expands the dissemination of the editions, as well as the exchange with national and foreign researchers. This makes Education and Research one of the main journals in the Brazilian educational field, qualified as A1 by the CAPES evaluation system.

The scope of the productions disseminated by Education and Research is perhaps one of its main characteristics, considering the contributions it offers by disseminating relevant results of research produced in the most different areas of the educational field.

In its operation, it seeks to ensure that the composition of the Editorial Committee, as well as the Editorial Board and the body of reviewers, respond as qualified as possible to the specificity of the journal.

Compliance with Open Science

 

Education and Research receives and evaluates original productions from the educational field that are in compliance with the practices of Open Science communication.

The originals submitted to the journal must be unpublished (in print or electronic media) although files previously made available on preprint servers maintained by public institutions that do not charge for their publication are accepted for evaluation.

Simultaneous submission to any other journal is not allowed during the evaluation or publication process.

It is requested that the authorship make all contents (data, program codes, and other materials) underlying the text of the manuscript previously or at the time of publication available. Exceptions are allowed in cases of legal and ethical issues. This request has two main objectives: to facilitate the evaluation of the manuscript and, if approved, contribute to the preservation and reuse of the contents and the reproducibility of the research. 

Works published in scientific meeting proceedings are accepted at the time of submission, provided that the submitted version has clear and substantial modifications, in order to offer a significant proportion of new elements that justify new publication. The decision on the publication of the manuscripts rests with the Editorial Committee, based on the evaluation of ad hoc reviewers.

This journal follows the Gold Open Access model.

Publication Ethics

 

The editorial policies of Education and Research have been established in accordance with the guidelines defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), with what is pointed out by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the good practice manual of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).

The journal safeguards its editorial process from commercial or financial interests.

Authorship must meet the requirements for originality, give proper credit to data sources, research, and intellectual works of any nature used in the text, and ensure that all citations and references are properly spelled out, according to the bibliographic standardization of ABNT (Brazilian association of technical standards), NBR 10520 and NBR 6023. 

It is up to the authorship of the manuscript to verify, register, and obtain the necessary authorizations for use or the assignment of copyrights, where applicable.

The initial evaluation process is done by using the “i-Thenticate” system, through which manuscript similarities are checked before sending them for reviewer evaluation. Other similarity detection tools may be used at the journal's discretion. In the event that similarity, plagiarism, or self-plagiarism is detected, the manuscript will be summarily rejected.

Throughout the process, the editorial team is guided by principles of impartiality, integrity, and confidentiality in the processes of handling, evaluation, and decision, seeking to meet the deadlines set by the journal. 

To ensure adherence to good research practices, Education and Research requests, at the time of manuscript submission to the journal, that the authorship declare: acceptance of responsibility for the content of the manuscript; approval of the research, when conducted with human beings, by a Research Ethics Committee or Commission; and absence of conflicts of interest with the result presented in the manuscript, informing the institution to which the authorship is affiliated or that has collaborated in the execution of the study. 

Regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in some stage of the article production, Education and Research requests, at the time of manuscript submission to the journal, that the authorship declare whether AI was used during the conceptualization of the study; in the methodological process; during the collection and/or interpretation of the data or at some stage of the preparation of the manuscript and, if affirmative of AI use, the description of which type(s) of AI was(were) used. For this, access to the AI use declaration form must occur, and its submission as a complementary document of the submission.

In case the research developed or the publication of the article raises doubts about potential conflicts of interest, the authorship must declare, in a final note, that no connections to funding bodies, as well as to commercial or political institutions, have been omitted. 

The editorial process of Education and Research uses mechanisms to exempt itself from conflicts of interest. Thus, the choice of the editor who handles the processing of a manuscript takes into account the personal and professional relationships between this person and the text's authors.

 

 

Focus and Scope

 

Education and Research publishes unpublished articles resulting from research in the field of education, which are written in Portuguese, Spanish, or English, resulting from theoretical or empirical studies, or from literature reviews. Articles must establish a consistent dialogue with the educational field, through the detailing of the conceptual and methodological work, by the explicitation of the analytical processes, as well as by the relevance of the contributions to the development of knowledge in Education.

 

 

Digital Preservation

 

This journal follows the standards defined in the SciELO Digital Preservation Policy Program. It uses the LOCKSS - PKP Preservation Network system as a strategy for digital preservation of content through the Digital Libraries and Collections Agency of USP.

It also uses the DOI as a digital object identifier, in addition to linking the publication to the authors' ORCiD.

EDITORIAL POLICY

Preprints

 

Education and Research accepts submissions that are present on preprint platforms. In this case, the authorship of the manuscript must fill out a form, indicating this situation and the repository where the text is located.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

Education and Research publishes the name or names of the editors responsible for the evaluation of the article at the end of the text. The process of evaluating manuscripts submitted for evaluation begins with a pre-analysis of the files considering formal elements and compliance with the guidelines of the journal. In case of inadequacy, the manuscript is rejected and returned to the authors requesting adjustments.

In the pre-analysis, the text is also analyzed for the use of "i-Thenticate", anti-plagiarism software for checking possible text similarity with others already published. From this analysis, another qualitative analysis of the identified similarities follows. In case of significant similarity, the authorship is informed of the fact and, if plagiarism is proven, the affiliation institutions of the authorship or funding agencies involved in the development of the research are informed.

Once the pre-analysis stage is completed, the manuscript proceeds to the assistant editor, considering its areas of knowledge and institutional affiliation, to ensure that there is no conflict of interest in the process.

If the assistant editor feels incapacitated to proceed with the process, due to personal or professional issues related to the relationship with the authors, it must communicate to the chief editor, which will designate a new assistant editor.

Upon contacting the manuscript, the assistant editor conducts the first analysis of the text content, which may then be forwarded to reviewers or inform the chief editor about the initial refusal indication.

Initial refusal cases are debated between assistant editor and chief editor and occur when the manuscript presents insufficient quality or does not meet the scope of the journal. In these situations, the authorship is notified of the decision.

In situations where the manuscript proceeds to reviewers, the assistant editor ensures that there is no personal or professional link with the authorship of the text.

Both the authorship and the reviewers are given the option of mutual disclosure of their identities in the evaluation process, so that, if both parties are interested, there is the possibility of direct dialogue at the end of the evaluation process. Reviewers may also opt whether they wish their reviews to be published or not.

Throughout the peer review process, safeguarding the transparency of the editorial process, the assistant editor responds to questions that arise from authorship or reviewers.

The manuscript evaluation process must be conducted in secrecy, preventing the appropriation or disclosure, in any sphere, of the information contained therein.

Reviewers must refuse to evaluate manuscripts where a conflict of interest is identified. In addition, it is requested that they ensure an evaluation that considers criteria of impartiality, formative perspectives, and civility, in addition to obedience to deadlines.

The identification, by a reviewer, of the absence of novelty of the manuscript, in whole or in part, in relation to already published texts, must be promptly informed to the Editorial Committee of Education and Research.

The aspects that guide the evaluation of the originals submitted to the pairs for analysis are: theoretical and empirical content, mastery of scientific literature, timeliness of the topic, contribution to the specific area of knowledge, originality of the approach, provenance of the methodological foundation, text structure, and quality of writing.

Reviewers may recommend the complete acceptance of the text, its refusal, or still indicate necessary modifications for a new evaluation.

After receiving the reviews, the manuscript is discussed in a meeting of the Editorial Committee.

If the reviews received are convergent, the editorial team sends a letter to the authorship communicating the editorial decision - acceptance, refusal, mandatory revisions.

If the reviews received are divergent, the Editorial Committee may indicate a position or request a new evaluation from a reviewer.

For cases of manuscripts, whose evaluation indicates the need for necessary corrections, the authorship must send the new version of the manuscript, along with a letter to the Editorial Committee, indicating the reviewed points and justifying any recommendations present in the evaluations that have not been met.

From the analysis of these documents, the new evaluation can be carried out by the editorial team or by those who proposed the necessary revisions. The Editorial Committee holds the final say in the submission.

When the manuscript is approved, the authorship receives the notice and is consulted if they wish the manuscript to be published in English, in addition to the original language in which the text was written.

Accepted works are sent, in a continuous flow, for revision, layout, editing, and publication.

All published texts bring, at the end, the name of the assistant editor that accompanied the evaluation process.

 

 

Open Data

 

With the aim of promoting the expansion of Open Science practices, ensuring transparency in the knowledge production processes, it is requested that the authorship use original data in their research, and that they explicitly all variables, conditions for treatment of the analysis material, and the methodologies employed for the production of the data analyzed in the study, in order to provide sufficient documentation to understand the choices and the conditions under which the results were obtained.

All articles resulting from original research must be submitted with a footnote, on the initial page, about "Data Availability", informing that the dataset is publicly available, and how to access it. The data must always be available for eventual consultation, observing the restrictions to public access imposed by the material characteristics of the data and/or by its production mode.

At the time of manuscript submission, information about "Data Availability" should be provided, and it is strongly advised that this be done in a footnote on the initial page.

The availability of data and materials associated with the research is essential in the manuscript evaluation process and aligns with ethical principles for scientific practice.

It is necessary to indicate in the note, the level of access defined for the resource to the data, among the following possible formulations:

  • Data availability: The entire dataset supporting the results of this study was published in the article itself.
  • Data availability: The entire dataset supporting the results of this study was made available in [name of the repository]* and can be accessed at [URL or DOI].
  • Data availability: The entire dataset supporting the results of this study was made available in [name of the repository] with the identifiers [list of identifiers].*

These data must necessarily be deposited in open repositories.

 

In the case of the manuscript being approved for publication in Education and Research, the dataset will be publicly available.

Since these data can be accessed at the time of manuscript evaluation and, if approved, by the readers of Education and Research, it is necessary for the authorship to follow ethical procedures to ensure that research subjects cannot be identified.

It is recommended that the data, methodological tools, and/or analysis materials underlying the article and used in the conception and execution of the research be properly cited in the text and listed in the references section, if possible referring to their location in a repository and with a persistent identifier such as the DOI.

Statistical methods

 

When employed, statistical methods must be described in sufficient detail to allow a competent reader to access the original data and verification of the results presented, whilst avoiding excessively technical language and presenting results with enough clarity so as to facilitate their understanding by a non-specialized reader. This guidance to authors requires steps such as: seeking, as much as possible, to quantify the results and present them with corresponding indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (for example, confidence intervals); avoiding relying solely on statistical inference tests that convey no relevant quantitative information; discussing the eligibility of the experimentation units; supplying detailed information about randomization and about the observations; discussing the reasonableness of the results, as well as the possible limitations of the method used; specifying the software employed; restricting tables and graphics to the amount necessary to explain the foundations of the article and their robustness; avoiding tables with too many topics and duplication of data; defining statistical terms, abbreviations and symbols used in the article.

 

 

Authorship Contribution

 

An author is defined as the person who has effectively contributed to the conception of the study, development, analysis and interpretation of the data, as well as the final version of the text. It is recommended that the article should have no more than four authors. In case the article is written by more than four authors, the editor-in-chief and the editorial staff must be provided with the contribution in detail of each author. In case of doubt about the compatibility between the number of authors and the results presented, the Editorial Committee reserves the right to question the contributions and to refuse submission if deemed appropriate. The journal suggests using the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy).

 

 

Manuscript Preparation 

 

Upon submission of an article, authorship authorship and the author’s institutional affiliations shall be filled in appropriate spaces in the SciELO System and should not be included in the text. 

Authorship information is recorded separately, as metadata, accessible by the editors. Authors whose articles have been published in preprint platforms must fill out a form indicating that this publication has been made, specifying the repository. 

The manuscript authorship commits, in the case of producing a version of the article in a language different from that in which it was previously submitted for evaluation in Education and Research, that it will be done based on the final text revised and edited by the Editorial Committee of the journal. 

When preparing the manuscript, the following guidelines should be followed:

  • The manuscript may be submitted in Portuguese, Spanish or English. Articles should be submitted in .DOC or .DOCX (Word for Windows), Times New Roman font, 12-point font size, 1.5 line spacing. Manuscript pages should be numbered sequentially. The body of the manuscript should have a minimum length of 35,000 and a maximum length of 50,000 characters, including spaces and, except the abstract.
  • The title of the manuscript should be no longer than 15 words and reflect its purpose and content.
  • The abstract should contain between 200 and 250 words and describe, in an informative manner and without listing topics, the following items: general theme and research problem; objectives; methodology; main results and conclusions. It is recommended that the abstract should be written as a single paragraph, in the active voice, in the third person of the singular, in concise and affirmative sentences. The following items should be avoided: neologisms, bibliographical citations, symbols and abbreviations except those in common use, as well as formulae, equations, diagrams etc., unless absolutely necessary. The journal requires a Portuguese version of the article´s abstract.
  • The article should have 3 to 5 keywords.
  • Possible acknowledgements should be cited in a footnote, with no direct or indirect reference to the authorship.
 

 

Article Submission Format

 

  • Title
  • Abstract (Abstracts should be clear, easily readable)
  • Keywords (3 to 5 words)
  • Names of the authors (the submitted file should not be identified, the names of the authors and their affiliations should come in a separate file).
  • Complete institutional affiliation
  • ORCID of the authors
  • Email of the authors with emphasis on the primary contact
  • Information about article funding
  • Statement informing that the research was approved by an institutional ethics committee
  • Note on research data availability
 

 

Digital Elements

 

  • Images (photographs, drawings and maps), tables, charts and graphs should be numbered in Arabic numerals according to the sequence in which they are displayed. The heading should be indicated just above each item. The source of every item should also be indicated. If the image belongs to the materials originally used in the research, it should be followed by the text "Source: data from our research" or "Source: materials created by the author(s)". Maps should include map scale indicators and map keys.
  • Tables, charts and graphs should be sent in their original files. Tables and charts shall not be accepted if sent as images, since they will be edited. The same applies for graphs. Graphs may contain images, but it must be possible to edit texts and numbers.
  • Images must be in JPG format with 300 dpi or higher resolution with dimensions that allow them to be reduced expanded without impairing their readability. All images must be submitted as separate files and named according to their references in the text (e.g., Graph 1).
  • Mathematical formulas displayed in the format of images will not be accepted. All formulas should be displayed in Word or Excel files
 

 

Citations and References

 

  • Explanatory footnotes can be used when necessary. Notes should be numbered in Arabic numerals according to the order in which they appear in the text.
  • Citations in the text should meet the following criteria:

a) quotations of up to three lines should be run in – integrated into the text in the same font size as the text - enclosed in quotation marks and followed by the following information in parentheses: last name of the author of the quote, the year of publication and page numbers;

b) quotations longer than three lines should be set off as block quotations – that is, in a new paragraph with a hanging indent of 4 cm on the left, 11-point font, without quotation marks;

  • References must comply with the technical standard NBR 6023, dated November 14, 2018, from the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT). Only the works cited throughout the text should appear in the bibliography, which should be listed under the title References at the end of the article and on a separate page.
