Brief history
|
Educação & Sociedade is one of the most significant journals published in the field of education today in the Brazilian country. The first issue of Educação & Sociedade, published by the Faculty of Education of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), was launched during the 1st Brazilian Education Seminar (SEB), held in 1978 at Unicamp. The Centro de Estudos Educação e Sociedade (CEDES) emerged in March 1979, in Campinas (SP), due to the work of some educators concerned with reflection and action linked to the relationship between education and society. After its creation, CEDES began publishing Education & Society. This publication was created to promote academic research and encourage discussions about teaching from various perspectives. Over the years, it has accumulated a wealth of analyses, information, debates, theoretical sources, and reports of pedagogical experiences. This makes it a valuable resource for scientists and educators working in the humanities and other fields of knowledge. Educação & Sociedade's work of opening to Latin American and European countries is worth highlighting. As an internationally indexed journal, it receives contributions from authors from various countries. This cosmopolitan exchange has not only brought rigorously discussed and novel topics to the education sector but also renewed interest in various academic research lines. |
Open Science Compliance
|
Educação & Sociedade is committed to Open Science communication practices. Open Science is a new approach to research that emphasizes transparency and accessibility. It involves using new methods to format, design, manage, communicate, and evaluate research. This includes ensuring that all research components, such as methods, data, and computer programs, are available to everyone. Open Science promotes significant changes in how journals edit and publish articles, including continuous publication and preprint repositories. These changes are designed to make evaluating articles easier, replicating research, and reusing collected data. The implementation and enhancement of Open Science's scientific communication practices necessitate the following: open access; preprints as the initial stage of article production; transparent handling of research data; provision of program codes and other materials that support articles; transparency and step-by-step disclosure of the manuscript evaluation process; public dissemination of research and compatibility with the worldwide stream of scientific information and knowledge. Preprints are draft versions of research manuscripts that authors submit to open-access web servers before, or in parallel to, submitting them to academic journals. If an author chooses to use preprints, they must inform the journal of the manuscript's deposition on a preprint server, as well as its name and URL. This pre-publication process can accelerate the communication of research results, allowing authors to receive feedback from readers and make any necessary changes to their work. Articles submitted for publication must be previously unpublished, either in printed or electronic media, except for preprint repositories. Simultaneous submissions to other journals are not permitted. The responsible author must complete and attach the Open Science Compliance Form at the time of submission. The form should mention the following information - (a) whether the manuscript is a preprint and its location if it is; (b) whether the data, program codes and other materials that support the manuscript have been properly cited and referenced; and (c) whether open options are accepted in the peer-review process. |
Publication Ethics
|
Before submitting their research, the authors must ensure they have followed all ethical guidelines regarding scientific integrity. They must also disclose any funding sources, such as research agencies. If applicable, the author must declare that the ethical principles were submitted to and approved by the institution's ethics committee. The author is solely responsible for complying with good ethical practices in research. Educação & Sociedade adheres to the ethical codes of SciELO, including the "Guide of Good Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication", the "Principles of Transparency and Good Practices in Academic Publications" recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the principles of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and the principles of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). For research conducted in a virtual environment, we rely on the CONEP document – National Research Ethics Commission. If you are a researcher from abroad, please consult an equivalent document or contact our editorial secretary for assistance. |

EDITORIAL POLICY
Preprints
|
Educação & Sociedade accepts preprint articles for faster communication of research results and to receive feedback from readers and make any modifications he deems pertinent. Preprint refers to a manuscript that is uploaded onto trusted preprint servers before or simultaneously with submission to a journal. Authors have the option to use preprints. If they choose to do so, they should inform the name of the preprint server and the preprint DOI while submitting the article to the journal through the Open Science Compliance Form. When articles are submitted to preprints, the authorship becomes known, and the double anonymized evaluation process is not used. This allows preprints to share the originality of the publication with journals. |
Peer review process
|
Educação & Sociedade's primary role is to evaluate research manuscripts in three areas: analyzing research based on the scientific method, ensuring adherence to ethical standards, and ensuring alignment with Open Science practices and the research theme. The journal has established certain criteria for evaluating texts. These criteria include adherence to formatting requirements, originality, relevance to the topic, clear and precise articulation of the subject matter, consistency of theoretical and methodological content, analytical rigor, presentation quality, and suitability for the editorial scope. The evaluation process for submitted works comprises four phases. (1) Firstly, the editors-in-chief screen the work to ensure that it aligns with the editorial line and scope of the journal and meets the formal requirements. They also assess its potential for publication. (2) Secondly, the section editors conduct a preliminary evaluation to determine the article's contribution and quality to the journal. This involves verifying the precision of the object's delimitation, theoretical and methodological consistencies, and analytical rigor. (3) Thirdly, the peer evaluation process begins, with editors requiring at least two evaluators to carry out a double-anonymized evaluation. However, articles available on preprint servers or those whose authors choose open evaluation (Open Science Compliance Form) may undergo a "simple anonymized" evaluation. (4) Finally, the Similarity Check system assesses the articles approved in the previous phases for similarity to previously published works. If a high degree of similarity is detected, the article may be rejected, as originality is a requirement. However, articles on preprint servers are an exception. The final decision on articles will be based on recommendations from section editors and evaluators, and author adjustments. After peer review, it is up to the editors to recommend whether to accept, reject, or reformulate works. If reformulation is necessary, the texts will be returned for final evaluation. The author will receive the evaluation result indicating whether the submission is (1) accepted, (2) requires corrections, (3) needs to be resubmitted,(4) or rejected. During the evaluation process, for authors who opted for open evaluation, Educação & Sociedade offers evaluators the option of communicating directly with the corresponding author, whether or not their identities are open. Educação & Sociedade publish the editor's name and ORCID in the evaluated article's final version. |
Open data
|
In order to support the consolidation of Open Science practices, the author is required to share all content, including data, program codes, and other materials that underlie the text of the manuscript, either before or at the time of publication. However, exceptions can be made in cases involving legal or ethical issues. The aim is to make it easier to assess the manuscript and ensure the preservation, reuse, and replicability of data and information. For sharing research data, authors can use their institution's repository or choose a relevant and certified repository from the List of repositories for depositing SciELO research data. Alternatively, the author may state that the data will be made available upon direct request to the author or that all data are contained and discussed in the article. If there is a repository where the data and information are stored, it should be cited in the text following the Research Data Citation Guide. This citation should be included in the methodological section, listed in the references and in the "Data Availability" section of the research report. |
Fees
|
Aiming at the financial sustainability of the article publication process, Educação & Sociedade proposes that authors contribute to the publication, proposing the following alternatives:
It's important to mention that collaboration or association is only required from authors whose articles have been approved for publication. There are no costs for submitting articles. |
Ethics and Misconduct Policy, Errata and Retraction
|
When an author submits an article for publication in Educação & Sociedade, they must state that they followed all ethical guidelines regarding the integrity of scientific activities during the research. Additionally, they should disclose any funding sources, such as research agencies, and declare if ethical principles were submitted to and approved by their institution's ethics committee. It is solely the author's responsibility to ensure compliance with good ethical practices in research. All articles will be evaluated based on social markers of difference, such as gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, nationality, among others, as well as the authors' political stances. Regarding the authorship of the work, all individuals who contributed to the creation, development, and analysis of the data presented should be recognized as authors. Therefore, it is the author's responsibility to identify and include all co-authors who effectively collaborated in writing the article. All authors must accept responsibility for the article's content and record their respective contributions at the end of the manuscript in case of acceptance for publication. If an author discovers any errors after publication, they must inform the editors immediately to publish appropriate errata. Educação & Sociedade use a system called Similarity Check to identify misconduct, which includes practices like plagiarism, self-plagiarism, republication of articles, and data falsification. However, if the system fails to detect any misconduct and the article gets published, the author may face editorial sanctions, such as retracting plagiarized or previously published scientific articles. Several principles of ethics in scientific publication support Educação & Sociedade. These include the codes of ethics from SciELO's "Guide of Good Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication," the "Principles of Transparency and Good Practices in Academic Publications" recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics [COPE], the principles of the Directory of Open Access Journals [DOAJ], and the principles of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association [OASPA]. The CONEP document – National Research Ethics Commission – is used as a reference for research in a virtual environment. For researchers abroad, consult an equivalent document or contact the editorial secretary. |
Conflict of Interest Policy
|
It is mandatory for authors to declare the existence or not of conflicts of interest, as the reliability of the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how conflicts of interest are managed during writing, peer review and decision-making by editors. The conflict of interest may be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature. Conflicts of interest may arise when authors, evaluators or editors have interests that, apparent or not, may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. To make a well-informed decision on a manuscript, it's important to be aware of the authors' competing interests. It's not necessarily about eliminating these interests, as they are often unavoidable. It's worth noting that manuscripts won't be rejected solely due to a conflict of interest. If there are no conflicts of interest related to the study, you should simply transcribe the note below and add it in the designated field: "There were no conflicts of interest to carry out this study." It's important to note that information about any potential conflicts of interest related to the authors will be included at the end of the published article. If authors are unsure about what may constitute a conflict of interest, they should contact the editorial secretary of Educação & Sociedade for guidance. In this way, it is expected: Authors: When submitting a manuscript, they are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced their work. They must acknowledge all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections in relation to the research. Reviewers: must inform the editors about any conflicts of interest that may affect their judgment of the manuscript. They should also declare themselves unqualified to review specific manuscripts if they think it necessary. If the reviewers do not mention any potential conflicts, it may mean that there are conflicts that have not been disclosed or that there are no conflicts at all. Therefore, reviewers are requested to provide statements of competing interests, which will be used to assess the value of peer reports. Editors: They must declare potential conflicts of interest in evaluating manuscripts, as well as act to prevent conflicts of interest involving authors and reviewers from compromising ethical standards in publication. |
Adoption of similarity-checking software
|
Approved articles, after the peer review process, will be submitted to the Similarity Check system for similarity assessment. If a submitted text shows significant similarity with a published work, the corresponding author will be contacted for adjustments, and the article may be rejected due to the requirement for originality. |
Sex and Gender Issues
|
All articles will be evaluated based on the authors' political positions, as well as social markers of difference like gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, and nationality. Manuscripts submitted to Educação & Sociedade must comply with the principles of the Guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER), which guide the reporting of information about sex and gender in study planning, analysis of data and results and interpretation of findings. As per this guideline, the terms "sex" (biological attribute) and "gender" (shaped by social and cultural circumstances) should be used carefully to avoid any confusion. Additionally, Educação & Sociedade adheres to a gender equity policy for forming its editorial board. |

Articles sent for evaluation must be unpublished, in printed or electronic media, except those available in preprint repositories, and simultaneous submission to another journal will not be permitted. The publication of articles, critical reviews and other works in Educação & Sociedade, after final approval, will require the author to make a solidary contribution to the editorial production, with a view to ensuring the sustainability of the journal in open access, which is edited by an association without non-profit, according to the letter, with justification and guidelines, presented on the page of the Centro de Estudos Educação e Sociedade (CEDES). In general, the processing time for submitted works is up to nine months, between the date of submission and the final decision, and up to twelve months, considering the dates of submission and publication of the article. When submitting the manuscript, the author must complete and attach the “Open Science Compliance Form” as a supplementary file. Through it, the author declares to follow the practices of Open Science. Educação & Sociedade is a multilingual journal that publishes articles written in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English, revised in their original language. The publication of the translation of the article into English and its version into Portuguese when originally written in a foreign language is encouraged, with the author being responsible for the respective translation, version and review costs. Only articles that fall within the journal's scope will be considered for publication. This means that only topics based on social theories aimed at analyzing the relationship between education and society will be accepted. Articles that are limited to replicating projects, research reports, chapters of theses or dissertations, and course conclusion works will not be considered. Moreover, works that have already been published in annals and periodicals, nationally or internationally, in either printed or digital format, in any language, will not be accepted, except for original articles that were previously made available on preprint servers. Reports of experiences and descriptive articles will not be considered unless they include a theoretical-methodological treatment of the topic. The complete works along with their subsequent translations will be accessible in electronic format on the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) website. Educação & Sociedade takes no responsibility for the opinions or views expressed in the published texts and affirms that they are solely the author's responsibility. These views do not necessarily represent the opinions of its editorial board. Each author may only have one article in progress at a time, and the publication of texts written by the same author will respect a twelve-month interval between publications. It is essential to adhere to the guidelines listed here. Failure to do so will result in immediate rejection of the text. |
Types of documents accepted
|
Educação & Sociedade publishes original research papers, essays, state-of-the-art pieces, interviews, and book reviews. The journal seeks original and innovative content, except materials already shared on preprint servers. The article evaluation process will consider the density and theoretical-methodological rigor of the approach to the topic. In the case of a research article, it is necessary to provide the title of the original project and the funding agency, if applicable. According to the theme, articles are published in the following sections: Editorial: section intended for the publication of critical texts prepared by the Education & Society Editorial Board, dealing with scientific themes, subject to citations, under the responsibility of the editors; Dossier: section intended for publishing articles on specific topics and organized as a dossier. This section comprises a presentation of the topic covered, capable of citations, prepared by its organizers; Articles: section intended for publishing texts in two categories, with a predominance of research articles, aligned with Open Science:
Review & Synthesis: section intended for publishing state of the art or state of knowledge. Studies are published here, with theoretical and methodological foundations, on themes and problems referenced in updated data collection and with critical analysis of the field; Analysis of Pedagogical Practices: section intended for the publication of articles based on social theories, related to studies on pedagogical practices and their effects inside and outside the classroom; Training of Education Professionals: section intended for the publication of productions whose scope is to reflect on the initial and continued training processes of professionals linked to the educational field; Education, Race, Gender and Sexual Diversity: section dedicated to studies, research and theoretical and critical reflections on education, race, gender and sexual diversity, based on an intersectional approach and in conjunction with issues of economic and social inequalities; Debates & Controversies: section intended for the publication of articles resulting from research or essays that problematize current and controversial themes about the relationship between education and society; Images & Words: section intended for the publication of works on topics related to media and education, as well as essays and critical reviews of books, films and other cultural products of interest to the educational field. Reviews will be accepted if they are critical, provide new knowledge, and are not confused with the summary of works. Reviews of books outside the domain of Educational Sciences will not be accepted for publication; Special Section: section intended for the publication of articles resulting from research related to a theme annually defined by the editors, given its relevance for qualified study and analysis based on social theories articulated with education and society. |
