About the Journal

 

Brief Background

 

The RDBCI was created on September 13, 2003, being totally conceived in digital environment, and launched during the III Cycle of Lectures, organized by FEBAB and held in the auditorium of the Central Library of UNICAMP.
 

After 13 years, recognized by the acronym "RDBCI", that is, until the volume 13, the journal called Digital Journal of Library and Information Science, starts from volume 14 (2016), to be initially renamed by its acronym as follows: RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science, with the extension of the title also to English: RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science.
 

RDBCI, from January 2016 until December 2017, adopted the practice of Advanced Article Publication (AAP), also known as Ahead of Print (AOP). This measure minimized the problem of publication time between acceptance and disclosure of the approved article, precisely because of the great demand of submissions received by the Journal. Also in 2016, it became the first publication in the area to be bilingual, Portuguese and English.
 

Starting in volume 17, 2019, RDBCI will adopt the rolling pass system, making article publication faster.

In 2020, the RDBCI implants the multimedia editing, that is, it adopts the inclusion of audio of the articles' abstracts, and then the publication and scientific dissemination of the videos about the articles, presented by the authors, favoring this way also, the amplitude of the multimedia accessibility resources (RMA).

 

 

Open Science Compliance

 

The Open Science movement proposes guidelines for collaborative, shared and public scientific practice. In line with the Open Science guidelines, the RDBCI adopts a series of practices, such as the open access policy, the code of good practices for publishers and the use of social networks to disseminate published works. In addition, it requires the precise indication of the role of each of the authors in papers with multiple authorship, encourages the sharing of analysis datasets, instruments, statistical analysis scripts, scripts, and additional materials, made available in open online repositories, e.g. Zenodo, Figshare e OSF, if they cannot be published in the paper itself, and this information must be indicated in the manuscript. Consequently, articles reporting research should indicate and reference the availability of the content underlying the research design and results obtained.
 

RDBCI encourages publication of preprints on public platforms, such as Preprints, SciELO Preprints, and EmeRI, so that, if appropriate, they can be discussed openly before publication.
 

Also in line with open science practices, the journal offers to authors and referees options to open the peer review process, with or without identification of their names. Authors may authorize the disclosure of their names when submitting the article, and peer reviewers may authorize their names when filling out the Open Science Compliiance Assessment Form.


In case of publication of the evaluations that substantiated the decision to publish the article, they may be edited by the journal's editorial board.

The contribution of section editors is duly credited in the published article. Reviewers receive a statement of their opinion on the manuscript and may also validate the activity in Publons or Reviewer Credit.

 

 

Ethics in Publication

 

The RDBCI, electronic ISSN 1678-765X, is dedicated to fulfilling the good practices in what concerns the moral conduct consistent with scientific journal editing, based on the code of conduct of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). Prevention of malpractice is also a crucial responsibility of the editor and the editorial team: any form of unethical behavior, as well as plagiarism in any instance, is not accepted at RDBCI. Authors submitting articles to the journal declare that their content is original and guarantee that the work has not been published or is under review/evaluation in any other journal.

In addition, RDBCI is committed to ethics and quality in publishing. We support standards of ethical behavior expected of all parties involved in publishing in our journal: the author, the journal editor, the reviewers, and the publisher. We do not accept plagiarism or any other unethical behavior.

 

 

Focus and Scope

 

The RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science is a continuous publication linked to UNICAMP's Library System (SBU), focusing on disseminating only works in the area of Library and Information Science. It publishes unpublished articles, experience reports, ongoing research and reviews related to Information Science or that present results of studies and research on the activities of this area. The editorial process adopts a blind peer review, where the papers are sent to specialists for analysis, according to the criteria of its editorial policy. Information Science is an interdisciplinary area that studies phenomena related to the production, organization, dissemination and use of information in all fields of knowledge. Since 2016, the journal has adopted the bilingual language in its editions, i.e. Portuguese and English.

 

 

Digital Preservation

 

As an Archival Policy, this journal uses the LOCKSS system, developed at Stanford University, to create a distributed archive among participating libraries. The system allows these libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration purposes. More information at https://www.lockss.org/.

The journal is also part of IBICT's Cariniana Network of Digital Preservation Services, which provides preservation for any Open Journal System [OJS] journal in Brazil.

Finally, the articles are preserved at the State University of Campinas Libraries System.

Editorial Policy

Preprints

 

RDBCI encourages publication of preprints on public platforms, such as Preprints, SciELO Preprints, and EmeRI, so that, if appropriate, they can be discussed openly before being published

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

RDBCI defines in its editorial policy the following criteria for the evaluation process: adequacy to the focus and scope of the journal and the technical (ABNT), grammatical and formal norms of the journal, relevance, content, textual coherence, theoretical and methodological consistency.
 

The evaluation process consists of three stages, namely
 

  • Preliminary analysis by the editors and editorial assistant to verify the adequacy to the general instructions defined by the editorial policy;
  • Analysis of similarity in all documents submitted through the Turnitin platform;
  • Preliminary analysis by the editors as to the journal's focus and scope, as well as the relevance and contribution of the text. The name of the editor responsible for the evaluation process of the preliminary analysis will be published in the final publication of the article.

In line with Open Science communication practices, the journal will adopt in its editorial policy, the opening of the peer review process in agreement with the referee.
 

In addition, the authors may opt for one or more of the means of opening the peer review process offered by the journal, as well as, the authors may agree to interact directly with the peer reviewers responsible for evaluating the manuscript, when offered the option.
 

The referees, through an opinion written in a form provided by the journal, will recommend one of three options:
 

  • Full acceptance without changes
  • Partial acceptance with changes
  • Refusal of the manuscript

Once the manuscript is approved, the evaluation will be published together with the article in the journal's platform, when the person responsible for the evaluation agrees.

 

 

Open Data

 

RDBCI encourages the sharing of analysis datasets, instruments, statistical analysis scripts, scripts and additional materials made available in open online repositories, e.g. Zenodo, Figshare and OSF, if they cannot be published in the paper itself, and this information should be indicated in the manuscript. Consequently, articles reporting research should indicate and reference the availability of the content underlying the development of the research and the results obtained.

 

 

Fees

 

RDBCI does not charge a fee (APC) for published texts, nor for those submitted for evaluation, review, publication, distribution or download. The publication is totally free of open access.
 

Its financial sustainability comes from the UNICAMP Libraries System, for maintenance of DOI usage fees, use of the Turnitin tool and payment of the XML markup.
 

RDBCI's partnership with Labjor - Laboratory for Advanced Studies in Journalism at UNICAMP, fosters resources from research projects.
 

The payment of the translation of the articles to English language is responsibility of its authors, exempting the RDBCI of the costs.

 

 

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

The journal RDBCI is committed to upholding the integrity of the literature and publishes Errata, Expressions of Concern or Retraction Notices dependent on the situation and in accordance with the COPE Retraction Guidelines.
 

"Crossmark is a multi-publisher initiative by Crossref to provide a standard way for readers to locate the current version of a piece of content. By applying the Crossmark logo, Publisher Name is making a commitment to maintain the content it publishes and alerts readers to changes if and when they occur. Clicking on the Crossmark logo will tell you the current status of a document, and may also give you additional publication record information about the document." (CROSSREF, 2020).

The retraction mechanism follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Retraction Guidelines which can be accessed at COPE - Retraction Guidelines.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

They should be communicated not only by authors, but by all those involved in the editorial process of a manuscript.

Editors should avoid making decisions on manuscripts that conflict with their own interests, such as those submitted by authors from their department or research collaborators.

Considering the possibility of conflicts of interest, the journal does not publish papers authored by the journal's own editors.

If the associate editors have a conflict of interest, they should delegate decision making to other editors.

Peer reviewers should consider any conflicts of interest before evaluating the manuscript. Working relationships with the author should be considered (e.g., participating or having participated in a research project; maintaining or having maintained scientific collaboration with research groups; having a mentoring relationship with the author; having a financial interest with the project involved in the manuscript).

Access to Conflict of Interest form: https://bit.ly/3Tlr9wb

 

 

Adoption of similarity software

 

As part of the actions to enhance academic integrity and prevention of plagiarism in the publications accredited in the Portal, the RDBCI, adopts the service of identification of similarity of texts using as basis, the Turnitin platform deployed at the University since November 2016.

The policy adopted by RDBCI, is the same as the UNICAMP´s Portal of Journals, which considers acceptable up to 30% of similarity of the text, above that, after being made the verification, it is sent to the author notification to make a review and project to reduce this percentage to 30%.

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

The RDBCI editorial team, 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 that guide the reporting of sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, and the results and interpretation of findings. In addition, RDBCI observes gender equity policy in the training of its editorial board.

 

 

Ethics Committee

 

When the article or research paper involves procedures with human beings, or LGPD-sensitive data, authors must attach an approval statement from the ethics committee of the institution responsible for approving the research.

Instructions to authors

 

 

The journal accepts submissions on topics unique to: LIBRARIANSHIP and INFORMATION SCIENCE.

Librarianship is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary area of knowledge that studies the practices, perspectives and applications of methods of representation, and management of information and knowledge, in different information environments, such as libraries, documentation centers, and research centers, where these practices, perspectives and representation methods must be applied. Currently, the field is intertwined with several other fields, especially Information Science and Documentation (Text adapted from Wikipedia).

Information Science is an interdisciplinary field mainly concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information. In other words, this science studies information from its genesis to the process of transforming data into knowledge.

Information Science aims to analyze the information process from its formation to the process in which data is transformed into knowledge.

There are several areas in which Information Science can be applied. Within organizations, Information Science is extremely important when it comes to the interactions between people from different sectors and between different information systems.

We emphasize that papers submitted with only application methods, such as bibliometrics, will not be accepted. Papers should emphasize Librarianship or Information Science, not just the method used.

Thus, we will proceed with the use of the CNPq Classification Table to establish the areas and subareas that we will accept as thematic areas in the subdivision within Librarianship and Information Science:

6.07.00.00-9 - Information Science
 

  • 6.07.01.00-5 - information theory
  • 6.07.01.01-3 - general information theory
  • 6.07.01.02-1 - communication processes
  • 6.07.01.03-0 - information representation

6.07.02.00-1 - Library science

  • 6.07.02.01-0 - classification theory
  • 6.07.02.02-8 - Quantitative Methods
  • 6.07.02.03-6 - Information Retrieval Techniques
  • 6.07.02.04-4 - information dissemination processes

In addition to the CNPq Classification Table, Information Science may make biases, provided they are linked to the journal's focus and scope, in its main areas of study, such as:

  • Data modeling and analysis,
  • Information logistics,
  • Information planning,
  • Organization Theory, and
  • Interdisciplinarity of information.

Other topics will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee.

 

 

Types of Documents Accepted

 

RDBCI accepts the following types of documents for submission:

  • Original Article
  • Research Article
  • Experience Report
  • Book Review
  • Preprints

In relation to the Preprints, it is important to point out that the RDBCI does not consider that the publication of articles in repositories of preprints takes away the originality of the submitted article. RDBCI is attentive to the updates of the principles of Open Science and, in this sense, foresees that articles published in repositories of preprints can be submitted to the journal, without prejudice to its originality.

Additional Information

 

ORCID:

  • As a form of authorship standardization, the RDBCI Committee made it mandatory to include the ORCID iD upon submission. After the first review, before forwarding for evaluation, the manuscripts that do not have the ORCID informed in the system will be notified for the inclusion of the identifier record, and must contain at the time of registration, information on academic background and employment (employment, if any).
  • The ORCID identifier can be obtained free of charge at: https://orcid.org/register.
  • You must accept the standards for the presentation of the ORCID, and include the full URL, accompanied by the expression "https://" (for example: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097), or enter the automatic registration for connection through ORCID.
  • ORCID registration is mandatory for all authors. On the platform you can directly enter the ORCID connection, thus allowing your connection to be validated by the system. The author, at the time of submission, must click on authorization so that other authors can validate their registration via the forwarded link.

Translation of the manuscript

  • Bilingual publication: All RDBCI publications will be bilingual (Portuguese and English) according to our internationalization objective. Therefore, if accepted, the manuscript should also be presented with a version translated into English.
  • Translation responsibility: Translation is mandatory for manuscripts accepted for publication and will be the responsibility of the authors.
  • Suggestion of translators: RDBCI has accredited translators that work for the journal, in case the author needs this service, we will inform in the Editorial Decision. Together with the translation, it should be sent a declaration or certification of the translator, either the one indicated by RDBCI, or an accredited company that can issue a declaration of revision (Example: American Journal Experts - AJE).

URL Pattern

  • About the shortener: To maintain the standard in the system and in the PDF, we ask authors who find the URL too long to shorten the reference URL using a URL shortening system. We suggest Bitly.
  • About long URL: When we leave the reference with a URL that is too long, it tends to break in OJS, and this hurts standardization and retrieval.
  • About the URL in one line: The URL's that are only in one line do not need to be shortened, but those that occupy more than two lines of the reference should be shortened.
  • About activation of the URL link: Remember to activate all URL's inserted in the references.
  • About DOI in the references: The references that have the URL with the DOI, give preference to this DOI link, because it will be organized systematically.

General Notes

  • Tabular data: For tabular data presentation, see the IBGE standard, or the model in the structure of the file to be submitted (template). Please keep the same formatting that is inside the template.
  • Personal communication: It is recommended to indicate in footnotes, on the page where they are cited, the information from personal communication, work in progress and unpublished work, and they should not be included in the list of references.
  • Number of pages: The text should not exceed the limit of 30 pages. Texts exceeding this number will be returned for reformulation.
  • Number of authors in the text and titles: The text should have a maximum of five authors in the manuscript. Of these five authors, three must be PhDs. Doctoral students, masters and masters students may also be included.  For pair works, one of the authors must have a doctoral degree, while the other may be a doctoral student, or have a master's degree. Unfortunately the RDBCI does not accept papers with only a bachelor's degree. Undergraduate papers are not accepted.
