ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief Background

 

The journal Sociologia & Antropologia is an online continuous publication with three issues per year by the Graduate Program in Sociology and Anthropology (PPGSA) at the Institute of Philosophy and Social Sciences (IFCS) of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).

Sociologia & Antropologia’s aim is to disseminate, expand and enhance sociological and anthropological knowledge across different thematic fields, encouraging a diversity of theoretical approaches. Like PPGSA, the Journal acknowledges the contemporary demands for specialization; but it seeks to promote dialogue beyond narrowly defined academic boundaries by means of productive exchanges between the distinct theoretical traditions that configure the disciplines of sociology and anthropology.

Sociologia & Antropologia therefore promotes interchanges between sociological and anthropological approaches that are simultaneously critical and informed by mutual understanding. It stimulates dynamic communication and debate on key theoretical, empirical, historical and analytic themes. The Journal recognizes the multiplicity of theoretical paradigms that permeates social knowledge, and favors the opportunities for the exchange of convergent and divergent points of views in these different fields of knowledge. This is precisely the idea expressed by the symbol ‘&’ that interconnects the two disciplines in the title of the Journal.

Sociologia & Antropologia aims to present, disseminate and debate original research that provides insight into the sociocultural processes in Brazil and abroad. The Journal is open to the collaboration of specialists from universities and research institutions, and will publish new and original work in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Sociologia & Antropologia’s ambition, in sum, is to become an outlet for consistent inquiry into topics relevant to contemporary debate in the social sciences, contributing to their development.

Its abbreviated title is Sociol. Antropol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.

Editorial Policy

 

Preprints

Regarding Sociologia & Antropologia's editorial policy, we would like to inform you that:

All material previously published, in whole or in part, in a journal or book by the authors is considered prior publication. Therefore, they cannot be submitted for evaluation in Sociologia & Antropologia. All content previously available in event proceedings, theses and dissertations is not considered prior publication. However, authors must declare the origin of the article when submitting it.

Sociologia & Antropologia accepts articles previously deposited on preprint servers. We recommend using SciELO Preprints. Other servers will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the Editor-in-Chief. The text previously published on the preprint must be correctly cited at the time of submission and the virtual location (link, DOI etc.) must be provided.

Peer Review Process

The suitability of a manuscript for publication will be first assessed by the Editorial Committee with regard to its suitability to the journal's profile and editorial policy of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal; if approved, they will then be scrutinized by ad hoc reviewers based in Brazil or abroad - always PhD holders with proven expertise in the subject of the article - in relation to their content and academic quality.

All papers undergo double-blind refereeing: articles are sent to two referees. In case of divergent recommendations, a third review is requested.

In the case of manuscripts previously made available on preprint servers, the anonymity of the authors cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, the evaluation can be single-blind, when the authors reveal their identity, but the referees remain anonymous.

Articles will be evaluated according to the criteria of quality and accuracy of the arguments, validity of the presented data, timeliness, and relevance of the article to the discussion of problems in the area of research, and the adequacy and contemporaneity of the references.

Sociologia & Antropologia will deliver a decision letter about the paper within approximately six months. The author will be informed of one of the following decisions: (a) Accepted for publication with no changes to the content; (b) Accepted after minor revision; (c) Reformulate and submit to new evaluation; or (d) Rejected. Authors must present a revised version of a manuscript accepted for publication tracking all changes made to the text. Authors must duly justify any requirements and recommendations made by the reviewers that has not been heeded.

The editor responsible for evaluating the manuscript will be informed when the article is published.

Open Data

Following the principles of Open Science, Sociologia & Antropologia recommends that all content (such as data, information collected, program codes, etc.) underlying the text of the manuscript be made available before or at the time of publication.

If the authors choose to keep the research data closed, they will need to provide justification when submitting the manuscript, which will be analyzed by the Editor-in-Chief. Sociologia & Antropologia suggests that the data repositories chosen to store the data should be of the institutions to which one of the authors is affiliated or other reliable data repositories should be used.

Fees

The Journal does not charge a submission fee, article processing charge (APC) or publication fee.

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

Whenever bad practices or issues that violate scientific ethics are detected in manuscripts that have already been published, the journal will conduct an investigation.

Compliance with good practices should be based on the following documentation:

Policy on Conflict of Interest

The editorial staff requires all authors and reviewers to declare possible conflicts of interest with regard to manuscripts submitted to Sociologia & Antropologia. Conflict of interest is understood as any type of commercial, financial or personal interest in the data or issues of the study by one or more authors, leading to potential conflicts among the parties involved. Conflicts of interest can influence the results and conclusions of a study as well as the review process. The existence of conflicts of interest does not impede the submission of a paper or its publication in the journal. However, the authors must explain the reasons for the conflict to the editors, who will make the final decision.

Adoption of similarity software

Sociologia & Antropologia follows the guidelines of the “Guide to the use of Artificial Intelligence tools and resources” in research communication on the SciELO.

When submitting articles, the journal uses Plagius software to detect similarities in the materials submitted. Based on the report generated by the plagiarism detection program, the textual content of the manuscript is analyzed in order to identify whether (or not) there is any evidence of plagiarism or self-plagiarism in the text.

This is an important procedure, as it guarantees the journal's ethics and transparency with its readers and with the authors themselves. In addition, it is part of our policy to ensure journal's reputation and the excellence of the knowledge it disseminates.

Gender and Sex Issues

The editorial team of the Sociologia & Antropologia, in addition to the authors who publish in the journal, should always observe the guidelines on Gender Equity in Research (Sex and Gender Equity in Research - SAGER). The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines that guide the reporting of information about sex and gender in the study design, data analysis and results and interpretation of the findings. In addition, the Sociologia & Antropologia observes the policy of gender equity in the formation of its editorial board.

Ethics Committee

Authors must attach a statement of approval from the ethics committee of the institution responsible for approving the research, if applicable.
