INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

 

Editorial policy

 

Contributions must be entered on the online submission page http://submission.scielo.br/index.php/ecos/login.

Complete registration in the system and subsequent access, through login and password, are mandatory for submitting manuscripts, as well as for monitoring the ongoing editorial process.

Sending a manuscript implies a commitment that, in addition to being unpublished, it is not in the process of being evaluated in another journal. Preliminary versions of the manuscript published as discussion text or in conference proceedings can be submitted.

ECOS editorial policy establishes that each author is authorized to submit only one article for the evaluation process. In this sense, authors are encouraged to focus on the quality and relevance of the submitted work.

The works selected after preliminary assessment are evaluated according to the blind system review, being forwarded to at least two anonymous reviewers belonging to institutions other than those to which the authors are affiliated.

The selected texts undergo spelling and grammatical review and all published articles must have a DOI number .

 

 

Types of documents accepted

 

The journal considers for publication unpublished articles and reviews, that is, those that have not been published in other journals (in Brazil and abroad) and as book chapters.

Economia e Sociedade adopts the “desk-rejection” policy, that is, the editors carry out a preliminary assessment of the works, being able to reject them without forwarding them to reviewers if they do not provide an original contribution and/or do not align with the scope of the journal.

Authors can only have one article in the evaluation process.

Works must not include authorship and references that allow identification must be avoided.

ECOS publishes in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

  • Complete registration on the journal website, including information regarding all authors and co-authors;
  • Keep the information in that registry up to date;
  • Diligently reference all materials and sources of information used to prepare the manuscript;

We recommend consulting the CRediT Taxonomy.

 

 

Manuscript Preparation

 

To preserve the impartiality of the evaluation process, it is imperative that manuscripts do not include information that reveals authorship, and it is recommended to avoid references that could facilitate the identification of authors (pay attention to the authorship marks present in the file properties of the submitted article). In this way, the analysis of articles is conducted blindly, ensuring a fair and bias-free evaluation.

Regarding the format of the documents, it is requested that articles and reviews are preferably sent in Word format. Additionally, it is established that articles must not exceed 70,000 characters (without spaces), while reviews must be limited to 15,000 characters. These guidelines aim to maintain consistency and clarity in publication, facilitating the review process and adaptation to the journal's standards.
