ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief Background

 

Varia Historia was founded in 1985 as a publication within the Department of History at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil. Over the years, it has broadened its scope, adapting to developments in historiography and establishing itself as a prominent journal in its field.

Academic journals organise and publish research findings, ensuring that the knowledge produced is subject to collective scrutiny, reaches its audience, and becomes part of broader debates. Journals enable researchers from different institutions to engage in dialogue, allow new generations to present the results of their research to the field, and help the discipline to renew its methods, subjects, and perspectives. Varia Historia fits into this context as a space for dialogue and the qualified dissemination of historical knowledge.

After gaining recognition within Brazilian academic circles, the journal entered a new phase in 1992 under the title Varia Historia. This Latin expression encapsulates the journal’s intellectual mission as a vehicle for the diversity and variety of contemporary historiography. The title reflects an epistemological commitment to the plurality of approaches, temporalities, scales, and subjects that characterise history as a field of study.

Currently affiliated with the Postgraduate Programme in History at UFMG, the journal has kept pace with the changes that have transformed scientific communication over the past few decades. Since joining SciELO in 2007, it has broadened its audience and international reach. In January 2018, switching to an entirely digital format reinforced this path, making it accessible to researchers worldwide without any cost to readers.

Varia Historia has been published every four months since 2014 and is listed in leading national and international humanities indexing databases. Its inclusion in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (SciELO Citation Index), ERIH PLUS, Historical Abstracts, Redalyc, DOAJ, and Latindex reflects the editorial rigour and international reach the journal has achieved. Fapemig, CAPES, the Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities), and the History Postgraduate Programme at UFMG provide support for the structural conditions that enable the journal.

 

 

Open Access

 

Varia Historia follows the Open Access model, offering unrestricted online access to all academic articles published on its website. The journal upholds the principles of open science: its content is freely available at no cost, with no barriers for readers or authors, thereby encouraging the dissemination of historical knowledge beyond limited institutional circles. It operates under a condition where the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties through an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), permitting immediate free access to the work and allowing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search for, or link to the full texts of the articles, crawl them for indexing, feed them as data into software, or use them for any other lawful purpose.

 

 

Open Science Compliance

 

In line with Open Science principles, authors are not required to pay any fees for submitting, reviewing, or publishing any type of work in Varia Historia.

The journal adopts practices such as open access to publications, using preprints as an initial step in the article production process, transparently managing research data, providing codes and other supporting materials for published studies, gradually and transparently opening the manuscript review process, and widely disseminating research to the public.

Manuscripts submitted for publication must be original, except for those already made available in preprint repositories. In any case, simultaneous

Submitting the same work to another journal is not allowed. If the author chooses to upload a preprint, they must specify the server name and the corresponding URL at the point of submission. Upon submitting, the corresponding author must complete and submit the Open Science Compliance Form, declaring: (a) whether the manuscript is a preprint and, if so, its location; (b) whether data, codes, and other supporting materials are properly cited and referenced; and (c) whether they adhere to any open access arrangements during the peer review process.

 

 

Ethics in Publication

 

Varia Historia upholds ethical standards throughout the entire publication process, namely:

The editors of Varia Historia are accountable for:

  • To assume full responsibility and authority for accepting or rejecting articles based solely on their significance, originality, clarity, relevance, and alignment with the journal’s purpose.
  • To engage in dialogue with members of the Editorial and Advisory Boards regarding editorial policies, challenges, and aims, striving for a genuine collective effort to improve the quality of the journal.
  • Strive to meet the needs of readers and authors through ongoing efforts to a) improve the journal; b) ensure the quality of published material; c) maintain the integrity of the archive and the journal’s legacy; d) publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies where necessary.
  • Act in a balanced, transparent, and fair manner when performing their duties, without discriminating against any author based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, political beliefs, or ethnic or geographical background.
  • Ensure confidentiality measures are maintained for all submission processes by sending articles to reviewers without any author identification, thereby preserving their anonymity.
  •  Handle submissions for special issues in the same manner as any other submission, with articles being evaluated and accepted solely based on their academic merit, free from any personal bias or influence.
  • Publish guidelines for authors outlining the expectations for their submissions on the journal’s homepage. These guidelines are regularly updated and should include information on the different stages of the review process.
  • Take action in cases of suspected misconduct, whether involving articles in press or already published, in accordance with the guidelines of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), and provide authors with ample opportunity to respond to allegations. All allegations are investigated, regardless of when the article was accepted. Documentation relating to the complaint remains in the Journal's custody.

Varia Historia authors' responsibilities include

  • Sign a declaration of originality confirming that the manuscript is your own work. Respect third parties' intellectual property rights. Provide permissions for the use, reproduction, and publication of graphics, maps, diagrams, photographs, and others. Each author signing the article must have made a significant contribution to its creation.
  • Follow the journal’s guidelines for article submissions, available at:  http://www.variahistoria.org/instrues.
  • Include a list of references at the end of the article and specify any funding bodies.
  • Indicate the institutional or private location of all historical documents cited in the article, as well as the complete archival references.
  • Ensure that the article (or a significant part of it) has not been published elsewhere, is not currently under consideration, and has not been accepted for publication elsewhere.
  • To be familiar with and accept the rules of the Creative Commons License Attribute BY;
  • Submit original articles that are free from plagiarism or self-plagiarism, contain no fraudulent data, and are not classified as a “Minor Publishable Part.”
  • Promptly notify the journal’s editor if significant errors are found in their publication. Work with the editor to publish errata, addenda, corrections, or, if needed, retract the article.

Anonymous reviewers' responsibilities

  • Be aware of any conflicts of interest concerning the research and funding bodies for the article, and, if necessary, decline to act as a reviewer for that manuscript.
  •  Review the manuscript impartially and constructively, avoiding hostile or fiery comments, within a reasonable period.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of all information supplied by the editor or the author, without retaining any copy of the manuscript.
  • Not to use the information gathered during the review process for personal benefit or for the advantage of any other person or organisation, nor to use it to harm or discredit others.
  • Notify the editor of any content that has been previously published or submitted and is substantially similar to the material under review.

Varia Historia follows the ethical principles of SciELO, as outlined in the   SciELO Good Practice Guide for strengthening ethics in scientific publishing, and the guidelines on transparency and conduct issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

 

 

Focus and Scope

 

Varia Historia is a publication of the History Postgraduate Programme at the Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG - Federal University of Minas Gerais); print version ISSN 0104-8775, online version ISSN 1982-4343.

Varia Historia aims to publish original and innovative articles in the field of history, foster dialogue among members of the national and international academic communities and contribute to historiographical renewal. It is an academic journal dedicated to history, targeted at researchers, lecturers, and postgraduate students. The journal publishes original works that help advance historical and humanistic knowledge, welcoming research on different periods, societies, and cultures. Submissions in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, and English are accepted, provided they address topics within the field of History or maintain a strong interdisciplinary dialogue with it.

Submissions are classified into four types: continuous publication (or continuous flow), thematic dossiers selected via a call for papers, interviews, and reviews. The dossiers include work by authors recognised for excellence in the field; however, as with individual articles, at least two anonymous reviewers review each submission. The Editor-in-Charge and the Editorial Board assess the suitability of submissions and decide whether to proceed with the editorial process and ultimately approve the texts for publication. Reviews are evaluated by the Reviews Editor alongside the Editor-in-Charge, while interviews are reviewed solely by the Editor-in-Charge.

EDITORIAL POLICY

 

Preprints

 

Varia Historia accepts manuscripts that were previously submitted to reputable, non-commercial preprint servers. (such as SciELO Preprints, SocArXiv and Zenodo), provided that the respective DOI is included at the time of submission. Authors retain full copyright of their works, but reprints of texts published by Varia Historia must include a note acknowledging the journal’s publication.

Preprints are manuscripts uploaded to specialised servers either before or during submission to a scientific journal. Like continuous publication, this practice aims to accelerate the dissemination of research. Since preprints are published prior to peer review, they might compromise authors' anonymity during the peer-review process. The decision to use preprints is made by the authors, and it is the responsibility of the journals to determine whether to accept manuscripts already deposited on these servers.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

Varia Historia employs a double-blind peer-review system, in which two reviewers are selected to assess each manuscript. Throughout the process, the identities of reviewers and authors remain confidential from each other. However, in accordance with Open Science principles, the journal allows authors and reviewers to disclose their identities to one another by mutual agreement. If such consent is given, the journal’s platform enables direct communication between them. This consent is documented on the submission and review forms. At the conclusion of each published article, the name of the editor responsible for overseeing the review process is listed.

All submissions are evaluated by the editor, members of the Editorial Board, and/or guest reviewers, according to the steps outlined below:

Initial screening: the editor checks whether the manuscript follows the Instructions to Authors and conducts a plagiarism scan. If it does not meet the journal’s guidelines and requirements, the manuscript is rejected or returned to the author for necessary revisions.

Peer review: manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to two or more independent reviewers chosen based on their expertise.

Issuance of reviews: Reviewers record their decisions directly in the ScholarOne system, choosing from “Accept,” “Minor revisions,” “Major revisions,” “Reject and submit again,” or “Reject.” When resubmitted, the revised manuscript undergoes a second round of evaluation.

Final decision: Based on the reviews received, the editors determine whether to accept or reject the manuscript. Accepted manuscripts then proceed to editing, proofreading, and publication stages.

The final version of the article published in the journal includes the name of the editor responsible for the peer review.

 

 

Open Data

 

Varia Historia encourages authors to deposit their research data in open-access repositories, thereby promoting transparent sharing of data, code, and other materials produced during scientific investigations. It aligns with the principles of Open Science and enhances the reproducibility, verifiability, and progress of scientific knowledge by enabling other researchers to access, reuse, and validate published results.
To help authors with this process, we recommend reviewing the following documents provided by SciELO.

 

 

Fees

 

In line with the Open Science principle, Varia Historia does not charge any fees for submitting, reviewing, or publishing articles, reviews, and interviews.

 

 

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

The editorial board of Varia Historia comprises an editor-in-charge, an editorial board, and an advisory board. Its members come from various universities across different countries and collaborate with authors and anonymous reviewers to ensure the quality and relevance of published content, while also maintaining ethical standards from submission to publication.

Varia Historia recognizes that scientific integrity is the responsibility of all parties involved in the editorial process: authors, reviewers, and editors, each of whom is responsible for ensuring the quality and integrity of the works submitted and published.

The Journal adopts the definition of misconduct established by the Office of Research Integrity (ORI), which includes fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism in research production and dissemination. Unintentional errors and differences in interpretation are not classified as misconduct. Practices considered to constitute misconduct are:

Data Fabrication: the creation of false data or non-existent results.

Data Falsification: the manipulation or omission of data to misrepresent research findings.

Plagiarism: using ideas or words from others without proper acknowledgement, including self-plagiarism.

Varia Historia publishes only original manuscripts; it does not accept simultaneous submissions to other journals and prohibits both duplicate publication and the artificial division of results across multiple articles. Authors, peer reviewers, and editors must also declare any conflicts of interest that could compromise the impartiality of the evaluation process.

Once the article has been published, any errors identified are corrected through an errata page, with a permanent record linked to the article. In cases involving proven misconduct or flaws that undermine the work's conclusions, it will be retracted, in accordance with COPE,   SciELO Good Practice Guide for strengthening ethics in scientific publishing and  Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing recommended by COPE. All authors are entitled to a statement prior to the publication of the notice.

The Editorial Board decides on penalties for breaches of scientific integrity. These may include rejection of the manuscript, retraction, and a temporary ban on new submissions. Authors will be kept informed at each stage of the process, and their right to be heard will be protected.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

Conflicts of interest can be personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial. They may occur when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that could influence the preparation or assessment of manuscripts. When submitting a manuscript, authors are responsible for identifying and disclosing any financial or other conflicts of interest that might have affected the work. If there is a conflict of interest, including a potential one, the author(s) must declare it in a signed document attached to the submission platform. For further information, please visit: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.

Authors, reviewers, and editors have an obligation to declare any institutional, financial, or personal ties that may, directly or indirectly, influence the analysis of manuscripts or perceptions of their impartiality. This declaration is an essential part of the editorial process and contributes to transparency and trust in the scientific evaluation. When a conflict is identified or declared, the Editorial Board will take the necessary measures to ensure the impartiality of the process.

 

 

Adoption of Similarity Software

 

The Journal employs the Plagius similarity detection software, which analyses academic texts and documents for copied passages from the internet or other sources. The texts are checked prior to being accepted by the editor and sent to reviewers. If plagiarism is detected, the manuscripts will be rejected, and the authors may face sanctions determined by the Editorial Board.

 

 

Adoption of Software Using Artificial Intelligence Resources

 

Varia Historia recommends that authors and reviewers read the Guide for the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources in Research Communication when using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and content generated by AI applications in research communication.

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

The editorial team of Varia Historia, along with the authors who publish in the journal, must always follow the guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER. The SAGER guidelines consist of a set of directives that guide the reporting of information on sex and gender in the study design, data analysis, and the results and interpretation of findings. Additionally, Varia Historia complies with the gender equity policy in the composition of its editorial board.

 

 

Ethics Committee

 

Varia Historia instructs authors to submit their work to the Ethics Committees of their respective institutions, which are responsible for assessing compliance with ethical standards in line with the specific requirements of each field of study.

 

 

Copyright

 

Authors retain the copyright to the works submitted for review. By submitting their manuscripts, they authorise Varia Historia to publish the content in accordance with the journal’s open access policy.

Authors of articles published by Varia Historia retain the copyright to their work, licensing it under the Creative Commons Attribution BY 4.0 licence, which allows the articles to be reused and distributed without restriction, as long as the original work is correctly referenced.

Varia Historia follows the recommendations of the Critérios SciELO  (SciELO Criteria), section 5.2.10.1.2: Author’s rights – copyright.

 

 

Intellectual Property and Terms of Use

 

Since the authors retain the copyright of their manuscripts, which are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 International license, this license permits free reuse and distribution of the content, provided the original work is properly cited.

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

 

Types of Documents Accepted

 

Varia Historia exclusively accepts original manuscripts for submission. We require that submissions be entirely new and not previously published by the author in any format, including print, digital media, articles, book chapters, or conference papers. Additionally, the manuscript must not be under review elsewhere at the time of submission. For unpublished dissertations and theses, authors must provide a rewritten version to prevent self-plagiarism. Once published in Varia Historia, articles can be revised with our approval, provided that proper credit for the original publication is maintained. We advise authors to review our Ethical Code and, if relevant, our Authorship Code before submitting.

Varia Historia publishes articles continuously, including those in selected dossiers through a call for papers, as well as interviews and reviews. The dossiers assemble eminent, well-regarded authors in the field, but, as with individual articles, each original submission will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers. The Editor-in-Charge and the Editorial Board will determine the appropriateness of each submission and whether to proceed with or decline its editorial process, including the final decision on acceptance. The Reviews Editorial Team and the Editor-in-Charge will assess reviews; the Editor-in-Charge will evaluate interviews.

All authors must hold a doctorate to sign articles and a master's degree to sign reviews. The journal does not publish work from students of the Postgraduate Programme in History at UFMG or faculty members of the same department. Organisers of dossiers are prohibited from publishing articles within their own dossiers and are responsible for preparing the introductory text.

The original submissions should omit the proposer's name and their institution, and request the removal of any identifying information, personal acknowledgements, and self-references. If the article is accepted, the author can include these details later.

Varia Historia publishes texts in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, and English on topics related to History or those that engage in a strong interdisciplinary dialogue with it.

 

 

Authors' Contribution

 

Authors are defined as anyone who contributed to the conception, development and data analysis of the study. Contributions must be declared in accordance with the criteria of the  CREDiT Taxonomy.

 

 

Manuscript Preparation

 

Manuscripts should be sent using our online submission system: https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/vh-scielo.

The authors must provide their ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) when submitting the manuscript. The contributions of each co-author to the work must be specified at the time of submission. A two-year interval must be observed between submissions by the same author, regardless of whether the previous manuscript was accepted or rejected.

Articles must not exceed 10,000 words, while interviews must not exceed 5,000 words, and reviews should be limited to 1,500 words, including notes, captions, charts, tables, illustrations, and bibliographical references. Each image, chart, table, or graph counts as 300 words.

The title, abstract, and three keywords must be provided for each article, in the language in which it was written and in English. The abstract should be between 150 and 200 words and, in a single paragraph, clearly and objectively state: the topic, the article's chronological and spatial context, the sources, the main argument, and the conclusions. Articles in other languages should include these same elements in Portuguese, English, and the chosen language.

Reviews should focus on works whose first edition in Portuguese was published within the last three years, or in a non-Portuguese language within the last five years, in the field of History or related disciplines, provided they show meaningful interdisciplinary dialogue. They must include titles in both Portuguese and English, along with publication details, the author’s background, the author's relationship to the reviewed work, objectives, methodology, main arguments, and conclusions. For quotations, the exact page must be cited. Beyond summarising, the review should offer a critical analysis of the work, its impact on historiography and relevant debates, and its intended audience. There must be no connection between the reviewer and the author of the work under review.

Articles must be submitted in Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.5-line spacing, a standard 1.25 cm indent at the start of paragraphs and justified alignment, with spacing before and after paragraphs. A4-sized pages must have margins of 2.5 cm on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right). It is recommended to use subheadings to denote different sections of the text. Subheadings should be in uppercase, bold, and without paragraph indentation.

When applicable, acknowledgements and statements about funding sources should be placed at the end of the article, before the bibliography.

Research data management is a crucial aspect of Open Science. In this context, Varia Historia requests that authors ensure all data and other materials used in the research are properly cited and referenced.

 

 

Digital Assets

 

Images (tables, charts, figures, illustrations, graphs, and drawings) must be submitted as separate files from the main text, in high resolution, JPEG format, in RGB colour mode. Tables and charts should be provided in Word, while graphs and spreadsheets should be in Excel, both with titles and sources indicated. All images must be numbered and accompanied by captions, including the source and reference within the caption. Applicants must obtain permission for each image used or specify if the images are in the Public Domain.

 

 

Citations and References

 

Short direct quotations (up to three lines) should be included in the text, enclosed in quotation marks and not in italics (if double quotation marks are used in the original source, opt for single quotation marks). Long quotations (more than three lines) should be presented as a separate paragraph, indented by 3.0 cm from the left margin, justified, in 11-point Times New Roman font with 1.0-line spacing, and without quotation marks.

Translations must be provided in the language of the article within the text, with the original included in the footnote, introduced by the translator’s name (e.g., “Free translation by the author” ).

  • In the references, authors’ first names should be written in full, but from the second author onwards, it is advisable to abbreviate them. Maintain this pattern consistently throughout the references.
  • Page numbers should always be fully cited (pp. 455-457, not 455-57, 455-7 or p. 455-457).
  • The expressions S.l. (sine loco, without a specified place of publication) and s.n. (sine nomine, without an editor's indication) are acceptable, but the date must be provided, even if approximate – [16-], [162-].
  •  Works in the process of publication must include the indication 'in press' among.
  • The year of publication of the edition used should be indicated, not that of the original edition.
  • Unspecified cases above must be presented in accordance with the ABNT guidelines.

Interviews, oral accounts, and archival data must be cited in footnotes and not included in the references. Do not use ‘Ibid’ or ‘op. cit. but instead provide the full source details for each reference. References for verbal information should follow this format: Statement by (insert author’s name), (name of the event where the statement was made), (location), (date). Example: Statement by Professor Sérgio Odilon Nadalin, lecture for the Theory of History I subject, UFPR, 5 May 1999. Footnotes, limited to the elements mentioned in the previous item and to comments (made in a concise manner), should be formatted in Times New Roman, size 10, single spacing, and justified alignment, with one line of space between each.
