Peer Review Process
Evaluation of Papers
General guidelines:
The Editorial Board is not responsible for opinions/concepts expressed in signed articles and transcribed material.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to select papers for publication, considering the evaluation process described below.
The journal Diversidade e Educação (PPGEC/GESE/FURG) adopts the Guidelines presented by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) as parameters for Integrity in Scientific Activity. Before any submission by authors, we emphasize the need to read these guidelines, which are available at the following address: http://www.cnpq.br/web/guest/diretrizes.
Evaluation process
Papers submitted to Revista Diversidade e Educação will be evaluated by at least two external reviewers, selected for their expertise and/or affinity with the thematic content of the papers under consideration.
Reviewers must disclose to the editors any conflicts of interest that may influence their opinions about the manuscript, and must declare themselves unqualified to review specific manuscripts if they believe this procedure is appropriate.
Reviewers reserve the right to give a favorable opinion conditional on the reformulation of the article or similar work, to make suggestions for reformulation, and to suggest the editing of the reformulated text, provided that any changes do not affect its content.
Reviews should be legible and provide a critical assessment of articles or similar works, highlighting their importance. If the review indicates that a particular work needs to be rewritten, all passages should be highlighted with paragraphs and/or pages, as appropriate.
Reviewers are given a period of twenty calendar days from the date of delivery of the article to submit their review. This period may be extended for an equal or shorter period, at the discretion of the editorial coordinator, provided that the extension does not cause a delay in the composition and printing of the journal.
The evaluation process for papers submitted to the journal Diversidade e Educação (PPGEC/GESE/FURG) comprises three stages:
Stage 1 – Pre-evaluation:
Upon receiving a submission, the Editorial Board conducts an initial review of the manuscript, which involves evaluating:
- whether the proposed publication is consistent with the scope of the journal, as described in the “About/Focus and Scope” menu. The Editorial Board reserves the right to decide whether or not the work falls within the scope of the journal.
- formatting aspects, in accordance with the guidelines available in the ‘guidelines for authors’ menu.
- the absence of elements that identify the authorship, either in the text or in the file properties, as per the guidelines in a tutorial.
If problems are observed in relation to these items, submissions will be immediately archived and authors will be informed that it is not possible to continue with the evaluation.
Stage 2 – Peer review:
Submissions that pass stage 1 (correspond to the scope, comply with the rules, do not contain identifying elements, and include the declaration of authorship responsibility) will be eligible to continue in the evaluation process. In this process, the steps are as follows:
- Appointment of a section editor who assumes responsibility for coordinating the evaluation flow.
- The editor in charge will appoint two external reviewers to issue opinions and will ask them to respond within four weeks.
- The reviewers shall review the works, considering some guiding aspects listed below: contribution to the field of education; originality of the topic and/or treatment of the topic; consistency of argumentation; rigor of the theoretical-methodological approach; overall quality of the text.
- Reviewers may fully accept the article, accept it with requests for revisions, or reject it. Any of these decisions must be justified by a descriptive opinion. When both reviewers reject the work, the article is returned to the author. When both reviewers accept the work, it moves on to the next stage. Finally, when one or both reviewers request revisions, the work is returned to the author, requesting that they consider the reviews and revise the article within 15 days. When the author resubmits the revised text, according to the reviewers' suggestions, it is reevaluated and moves on to the final stage.
Stage 3 – Final revisions
The work approved for publication proceeds to the editing stage, in which it will be prepared for publication, involving the following steps:
- Review of the article's descriptors and metadata, ensuring that the information contained in the text file corresponds to that recorded on the SEER platform.
- If there is no response from the reviewers, the work is sent to the editorial board for approval.
