ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief History

 

Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) (e-ISSN 1982-0275) is an advanced journal published by the Postgraduate Program in Psychology at the Life Sciences Center of the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas. Founded in 1983, it encourages contributions from the national and international scientific community. 

Its mission is to promote and disseminate scientific and technical knowledge in the field of Psychology, as well as to discuss the meaning of practices in the professional and research fields, through the publication of original articles that represent relevant contributions to the field and its interdisciplinarities. It also publishes theoretical papers, critical reviews and communications relevant to psychology as a science and profession.

 

 

Compliance with Open Science

 

Since 2019, Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) has adopted continuous publication as a way of helping to speed up the dissemination of scientific research and access to up-to-date information. In addition, it is a Gold open access journal, meaning that all of its content can be accessed freely at no cost. 

With a view to increasing transparency and debate on the current scientific model, we inform in the published article who was the Editor responsible for the evaluation process, we encourage the submission of preprints, as well as the deposit of research data. We recommend SciELO Preprints and SciELO data for this purpose.

The Open Science Compliance Form prepared by SciELO is available to fill in online and helps us to improve Open Science practices in the journal.

 

 

Publication Ethics

 

Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas), with a focus on the application/execution of good practices in scientific publications, adopts the Guidelines on Good Publication Practices recommended by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), to carry out the editorial activities that guide the journal.

For research carried out with human beings and animals, we adopt Resolution No. 466 of December 12, 2012, established by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. 

The journal uses the Ithenticate similarity detection tool to guarantee the originality of its publications. In cases where research misconduct is identified (as indicated by COPE), the journal submits the case to its editoriais board for deliberation.

Where applicable, the journal publishes errata and retractions in order to ensure that scientific communication does not give rise to doubts as to its credibility.

EDITORIAL POLICY

 

Preprints

 

In line with the Open Science movement, Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) supports the use of preprint servers and accepts manuscripts previously deposited in reliable servers such as SciELO Preprints.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) has specific policies for evaluating and selecting manuscripts:

  • Papers that have been submitted to other journals, presented at previous events (national or international) or translated into other languages are not accepted, in order to preserve the originality of the work.
  • Before the manuscript is sent for evaluation by ad hoc consultants, it is submitted for pre-analysis by the Editorial Board. The following categories of work are accepted for publication: research reports, theoretical articles, systematic literature reviews, case studies, dossiers, short communications, letters to the editor (opinion articles) and reviews. Consideration is given to originality, pertinence, academic quality and relevance to the following areas: Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Perception and Neuroscience, School and Educational Psychology, Community Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapies, Health Psychology, Psychological Assessment, Organizational and Work Psychology.
  • Authors must suggest three possible reviewers for the manuscript, with their e-mail addresses and affiliated institutions, and may optionally indicate up to three reviewers they prefer not to review their work.
  • After initial approval, the manuscripts are sent to two specialized reviewers, which may include a reviewer suggested by the authors. In the event of disagreement, a third reviewer is appointed.
  • The evaluation process adopted by the journal is blind review, and the identities of the authors and reviewers are kept confidential. 
  • The reviewers' opinions can be of approval, resubmission or rejection. The author is informed in all cases.
  • The analysis of similarity takes place in the second stage of the evaluation process, after the first ad hoc evaluation.
  • The associate editors analyze the opinions and recommend approval or rejection to the Chief Editor, who has the final say.
  • Manuscripts that have been rejected but can be reworked can be resubmitted as new papers, undergoing a new evaluation process.
  • Papers with suggested changes must be corrected by the authors within 30 days.
  • Accepted manuscripts can be returned to the authors for approval of changes during the editing and standardization process, according to the Journal's style.
  • The first option for opening the evaluation process proposed by SciELO is adopted by the journal, i.e. the name of the Editor or Editors responsible for the evaluation process is informed when the article is published.
 

 

Open Data

 

Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) supports and encourages the sharing of data, codes, methods and other materials used and resulting from research, which generally underlie the texts of articles published in the journal. If external research data is used, please consult the Guide to citing research data (portuguese only) made available by SciELO. The repositories for depositing research data (portuguese only) recommended by SciELO can be used and are accepted.

 

 

Charging Fees

 

Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) does not charge any fees for submitting, processing or publishing articles.

 

 

Ethics Policy and Misconduct, Errata and Retraction

 

Cases of scientific misconduct identified by Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) will be investigated by the Journal's editorial team, together with the Editorial Board, in order to determine the best option for resolving them.

Errata or retraction requests will be evaluated and handled in accordance with the guidelines provided by SciELO Brazil.

 

 

Conflict of Interest Policy

 

Conflicts of interest can be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature and can occur when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. When submitting a manuscript, authors are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced the work. If there is, even potentially, a conflict of interest, the author(s) must disclose this in a signed document attached to the submission platform. For more information: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.

 

 

Adoption of similarity checking software

 

The journal uses the Ithenticate tool to check the similarity of articles. This check takes place during the evaluation process, in the second stage of the ad hoc review.  There is no acceptable percentage of similarity and each case is analyzed individually.

Articles derived from publications such as theses or dissertations are accepted and can be submitted. However, we believe that excellent research should generate different research products and not just sliced reproductions (salami publications), which is considered unethical conduct.

Authors may be asked to rewrite and adjust the manuscript according to the similarities found.

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

The editorial team of Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas), as well as the authors who publish in the journal, should always observe the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines. The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines for reporting sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, results and interpretation of findings. In addition, Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) observes the policy of gender equity in the formation of its editorial board.

 

 

Ethics Committee

 

Research involving procedures with human beings must respect the ethical principles established by Resolution No. 466, of December 12, 2012, of the Ministry of Health, and the research must have been approved by the ethics committee of the institution responsible for it. 

The declaration of approval from the ethics committee will be requested if the article is approved. The research registration number must be provided for evaluation.
