About the Journal

Brief history of the magazine

Founded in 2010, the electronic journal Educação Por Escrito, linked to the Graduate Program in Education of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PPGEDU / PUCRS), aims to disseminate investigations of Graduate Programs in Education and in related areas. With this, we hope to continue the tenacious effort to train researchers in the various communities that make up our society, generating spaces for the socialisation of research.

Focus and Scope

The journal's mission is to disseminate and promote the knowledge production in Humanities, Education and Teaching, creating and encouraging publications of its own and in partnership with other research centers and institutions, national and foreign. With such scope, the journal aims to publish original and unpublished scientific contributions, preferably based on research papers, in the form of articles, special articles (by authors provided for the composition of extraordinary volumes and / or thematic dossiers) book reviews, interviews and translations. Collaborations must regard the academic publication criteria. The journal is not responsible for opinions, information and / or concepts presented in published texts, whose content, in this sense, is the sole responsibility of its authors.

Peer Review Process

Submitted texts are formally evaluated first by the editorial staff, who may request corrections and additions. Texts that do not fall within the scope of the journal, that do not meet mandatory requirements or that are not adequate within the established deadline will be archived. Once the submission admissibility has been verified, the double-blind evaluation process begins. Two opinions are requested from independent evaluators, volunteers and specialized in the submitted text subject, which will serve as a subsidy to the editors, remaining with them the ultimate decision. The referees may require changes in the evaluated texts, or recommend the publication, or give an opinion for its rejection. The submitted text publication depends on the authors’ compliance with any changes required by the referees. The evaluation process takes into account the originality of the topic treatment, the consistency and rigor of the approach, its contribution and the adequacy to the journal thematic line. The referees’ names will remain confidential, and the authors’ names will also be omitted from the referees. In case of controversy between the evaluative opinions, the text will be forwarded to a third evaluator. If the controversy persists, the text will be evaluated by the editorial committee, which may be decided by the editor. All authors will receive copies of their articles opinions, with the reviewers comments and, eventually, of the Editorial Committee and / or the editors. The estimated time for the evaluation and publication processes is, on average, from six months to one year, and may vary according to the flow of submissions. The reviewers are expected to be objective, judicious and ethical in their assessment. If there is any conflict of interest or difficulty in formulating a judgment without significant influence from external factors, they should contact the editors. They are expected to act in order to qualify the knowledge construction, for the benefit of the author’s growth, including indicating relevant references for the works improvement, when necessary. The text and other information provided in the evaluation process must be treated confidentially and cannot be used for any other purpose.
