Preprints
Nova Economia accepts the publication of preprint articles on public platforms, such as RePEc, SSRN, Preprints, SciELO Preprints, EconStor, or Zenodo, so that they can be widely and openly discussed before being published. To this end, it is requested that prior deposit be informed in the submission process and, in particular, explained in the Open Science Compliance Form (https://wp.scielo.org/wp-content/uploads/Formulario-de-Conformidade-Ciencia-Aberta.docx).
Peer review process
Nova Economia receives far more manuscripts for evaluation than it is able to publish. For this reason, the evaluation process aims to approve only those articles with relevant contributions to the literature. The editorial team has worked hard to reduce the time it takes to evaluate and publish articles, and the Continuous Publication model is a key element in this process. All articles submitted to Nova Economia follow these procedures:
Prior evaluation: (a) the editorial team checks that the manuscript complies with the submission rules; (b) the editors consider sending the manuscript for peer review, evaluating in particular the relevance and topicality of the topic, as well as the article's adherence to the journal's editorial line. If one of the above requirements is not met, the article is rejected directly by the editors within 15 days.
Peer review (double blind review): once pre-selected, the manuscripts are evaluated by anonymous reviewers chosen from among experts in the field or members of the Editorial Board.
In keeping with the principles of Open Science, authors and referees can grant permission for their identities to be revealed. Authors can make this decision explicit using the Open Science Compliance Form mentioned above, and referees can communicate directly with the journal's editors. In this way, the referees are given the opportunity to talk directly to the corresponding authors about whether or not to open their identities.
The referees are asked to issue a definitive recommendation between the following options: 1) Accept; 2) Make Mandatory Corrections; 3) Resubmit for evaluation; 4) Submit to another journal; 5) Reject and 6) See Comments. When a manuscript receives a large number of changes, it is common to recommend resubmitting a modified version of the manuscript. Nova Economia asks the referees to give their opinion within 6 weeks. Once the reviews have been issued, the editors make the following decisions: "Approved"; "Approved with Modifications", "Resubmission"; "Rejected".
If the manuscript is recommended "Proceed with Mandatory Corrections", the authors must send the corrected version within 30 days, when they will be notified. If they do not submit a request for an extension with justification, the article will be rejected and archived. When they receive the modified version, the editors will decide whether to send the new version to the same referees, send it to new referees, or make a final decision.
When the article is "Rejected", the authors will be notified by the system with the reasons for the rejection and the article will be archived.
When the article is accepted, the authors will be notified via the system, together with the opinions received, and the file will be sent for editing.
Accepted articles must be published by the third issue (within one year), except for those in foreign languages or those selected by specific editorial decisions.
Open data
Nova Economia allows and encourages the sharing of the data and analysis tools used, made available in open online repositories, such as Zenodo, Figshare and OSF, if they cannot be published in the work itself, and this information must be indicated in the manuscript.
Fees
Nova Economia does not charge any fees for submitting, evaluating, processing and publishing articles.
Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy
Any ethical violations are brought to the attention of the Editorial Committee in order to resolve conflicts and take the appropriate measures, such as referral to higher authorities at the University.
Nova Economia strictly follows the ethical guidelines for publishing and combating scientific misconduct of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Any cases of plagiarism, falsification of data, duplication of publications, undeclared conflicts of interest or other forms of scientific misconduct, once identified, will be treated seriously by the Committee and Editorial Board. The journal reserves the right to take the necessary measures.
Corrections and retractions may be made once scientific misconduct has been discovered or in cases of serious errors such as plagiarism or falsification of data, always after careful investigation and, where appropriate, consultation with external experts. In the event of a retraction, this will be clearly identified as such and will remain linked to the original article on the journal's website, maintaining the transparency and integrity of the academic record. The entire process will be monitored by the editor-in-chief.
The journal will take action in cases of misconduct:

Policy on Conflict of Interest
During the submission process, all authors are informed that submitting manuscripts through the system means that they are declaring that they have no personal, commercial, academic or financial conflict of interest in the manuscript.
All authors are instructed to clearly state potential conflicts of interest in the text of the article, such as those linked to financial relationships that could lead to future questions if the material is published without the relevant information. Any violations will be brought to the attention of the Editorial Committee in order to resolve conflicts and take the appropriate measures, such as referral to higher authorities at the University.
All referees are warned that they must inform the editor of any conflicts of interest they may have with the content of the article to be evaluated.
Likewise, the Nova Economia Statute stipulates that the Editor-in-Chief must inform the Editorial Committee of any conflict of interest that may exist in relation to any article submitted. In this case, one of the members of the Editorial Committee will replace the Editor in the process of evaluating the article in question.
Adoption of similarity software
Nova Economia uses the iThenticate/CrossRef system to identify duplicate content in all submissions received. In proven cases of duplicate content, the submission in question will be automatically rejected, without prejudice to other applicable measures.
Gender and Sex Issues
The editorial team of Nova Economia, as well as the authors who publish in the journal, should always observe the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines. The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines that guide the reporting of sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, results and interpretation of findings. In addition, Nova Economia observes the gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.
Ethics Committee
When articles contain research results that include the collection of primary data related to individuals, authors must submit a separate file describing the background to the research, as well as an opinion from the Ethics Committee of their institution or another widely recognized one (the Plataforma Brasil of the National Health Council is suggested as a reference).
