Goals and publishing policy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DADOS<\/span> is open to the submission of unpublished manuscripts in the field of social sciences that contribute to theoretical or methodological innovation and\/or empirical analysis. We foster gender and race diversity in authorship and thematic and conceptual pluralism in the contributions, which must be of academic and social interest and written clearly to the learned reader. Three formats are accepted to be evaluated by the journal:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Original Articles:<\/span><\/b> unpublished manuscripts with results of systematic academic research and that present a clear theoretical, empirical or methodological contribution to the current specialized bibliography on their subject. <\/span>DADOS<\/span> does not accept essays, analysis of conjecture, reviews, interviews, bibliographic balances, case reports or translations. <\/span>DADOS<\/span> does not open calls for papers or special issues as it works with a continuous flow submission system. All articles accepted at the desk review stage are submitted for evaluation by anonymous reviewers of the editorial board and\/or external. The <\/span>original manuscripts<\/span><\/b> must be between <\/span>4.000 and 14.000 words<\/span><\/b> (including bibliographic references, tables, and notes), and must not have been submitted or published in other academic journals, books, or special collections. Articles from <\/span>preprint <\/span><\/b>repositories are welcome.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Technical notes: <\/span><\/b>texts that aim to provide the academic community with innovative codes, packages and databases, in order to define and discuss their implementation. Technical notes can be about databases and text codes already published in the journal or about ongoing research, results not yet published. They should be present the scope of the underlying codes, packages and models or concepts so that readers with knowledge of statistics can understand their operation. The overall analysis workflow should be illustrated by a non-trivial and enlightening case study. Notes will not be accepted without additions relevant to academic knowledge, which only use elements already published or already well-known by the specialized community. Full reproducibility is mandatory and the source code is published along with the note. The evaluation of these technical notes follows the normal course of an article, being evaluated by editorial board and\/or external reviewers. They must have up to <\/span>6.000 words<\/span><\/b> (including bibliographic references, tables, and notes).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Critical comments: <\/span><\/b>texts that formulate critical evaluations of manuscripts published by the journal in the last five years, in which research results are debated in a qualified and courteous way, with the sole objective of advancing a given academic debate. Reviews must be strictly academic and stick to the content of the texts. Comments that contain ironies, ad hominem arguments or any other personal disqualification will be summarily rejected, as well as comments focused on only praising the analyzed manuscript. Authors of articles that are eventually the object of a <\/span>critical comment<\/span><\/b> published in the journal will have the right to a single <\/span>rejoinder<\/span><\/b>, without the possibility of submitting further reactions. The evaluation of these critical comments will follow the normal procedure of an article, being evaluated by editorial board and\/or external reviewers. <\/span>Critical comments<\/span><\/b> and rejoinders must be up to <\/span>6.000 words<\/span><\/b> (including bibliographic references, tables, and notes).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Submitted articles cannot have been previously published elsewhere, either in whole or in part, in the form of either book chapters or journal papers. Neither can they be simultaneously submitted to other journals. Manuscripts previously published in scientific conference proceedings, <\/span>preprint<\/span><\/b> platforms, as preliminary versions or working papers, are considered unpublished for these purposes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DADOS<\/span> accepts the submission of manuscripts from different areas in the humanities conditioned upon their content being related to ongoing academic debates in the Social Sciences, particularly with the those in the fields of Political Science, Sociology, and International Relations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Submitted manuscripts should necessarily focus on some of the following topics: 1) Democracy, elections, political parties, political institutions; 2) Economy, market, work, development and industry; 3) Social theory and social thought; 4) Political theory and political thought; 5) Inequalities, stratification, social class and education; 6) Collective action, social movements and unions; 7) Public policies, state capacities and management; 8) International relations, comparative politics and foreign policy; 9) Race, gender, migration and social identities; 10) Communication, media and social networks; 11) Culture; 12) City and urban issue; 13) Violence, crime, justice and human rights; 14) Political judicial and bureaucratic elites; 15) Science and Scientometrics 16) Climate, environment and rurality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The manuscripts can be submitted in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French, however they will only be published in Portuguese, Spanish and English. In the latter case, depending on the article’s content and the final decision of the Editorial Board, the publication can occur simultaneously in Portuguese\/Spanish and English.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manuscript evaluation policy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The publication of articles is conditioned to the peer review of members of the journal\u2019s Scientific Committees, of which there are three: an <\/span>Editorial Board <\/span><\/i>(comprising the editors of the journal and associate editors who convene periodically to take decisions, actively contributing in the editorial process and evaluation); the <\/span>Scientific Board <\/span><\/i>(constituted by leading experts in their respective fields in Brazil and abroad, whose function is to aid the Editorial Board) and the <\/span>Consultative Board <\/span><\/i>(comprised of <\/span>ad hoc<\/span><\/i> reviewers with proven expertise based in Brazil and abroad) which is responsible for aiding the editors in taking decisions concerning the received articles and thereby contributing to assure quality and scientific rigor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Submissions go through a threefold evaluation filter. First the editor-in-chief and the secretary evaluate whether texts comply with the journal\u2019s editorial and submission guidelines (below). Second associate editors and members of the editorial board decide whether papers suit the journal\u2019s scope. Denied submissions ensue a letter to authors explaining the reasons why the paper was rejected. Accepted submissions are forwarded to reviewers selected amongst PhDs of renowned expertise in the field. After a double-blind review, the editor-in-chief makes a final decision with the aid of the advisory board and authors are informed by mail.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The letter containing the editor\u2019s final decision may: i) accept the manuscript for publication either without or with revision requests, in which case authors must address requests and return the revised manuscript; ii) recommend significant revision requests and resubmission; iii) reject it. If authors choose to resubmit the manuscript, editors reserve the right to process a maximum of two reevaluations before making a final decision.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DADOS<\/span> seeks to ensure gender and racial diversity in its issues as a way to recognize and help to oppose the gender and race inequalities in science in general and in scientific publications in particular. To this end, we take the authors’ self-reported gender and race as an occasional tiebreaker criterion in our peer review-based decisions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Resubmissions must invariably comply with the journal\u2019s guidelines. Besides, authors must provide visual indication of revisions in the text, as well as detailed responses to reviewers in their cover letter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The approximate time for a final decision is 2 months for manuscripts rejected in the first phase and 6 months for manuscripts sent to <\/span>ad hoc <\/span><\/i>reviewers. This time is calculated based on the dates of submission and final decision concerning publication. In order to shorten the time lapse between approval and publication, <\/span>DADOS<\/span> will publish some articles ahead of print, at the discretion of its Editor-in-chief.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Accepted manuscripts are submitted to proofreading for formal and spelling mistakes and returned to authors, who must approve changes. After authors\u2019 approval, texts are forwarded for typesetting and final layout. At this stage authors are no longer allowed to include or change texts, except for extraordinary cases. Editors may also change or edit manuscripts at their own discretion in order to adapt them to the journal\u2019s requirements, always respecting the original content and the style of authors, who shall be consulted. Accepted manuscripts previously published in <\/span>preprint<\/span><\/b> platforms must include a link to the version published in <\/span>DADOS<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The author is responsible for the data (which must always be available for consultation after the publication), analyses and opinions contained in the article.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The double-blind review system encourages reviewers to evaluate manuscripts having the advancement of scientific knowledge as their sole interest. With the purpose of promoting high-quality scholar debates, <\/span>DADOS<\/span> reserves the right to freely share the reviews of a manuscript with other guest reviewers. Reviews may also be published upon editorial board\u2019s interest and authors\u2019 and reviewers\u2019 authorization. All parts involved must inform the editorial team of any potential conflicts of interest which may harm the objectivity and fairness of their deliberation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Authors of manuscripts previously published on <\/span>preprint<\/span><\/b> servers must inform their online location (link, DOI etc.). They will be submitted to a blind review, in which only reviewers are informed of authors\u2019 identities. Manuscripts not previously published on <\/span>preprint<\/span><\/b> servers, on the other hand, go through a double-blind review, in which neither reviewers nor authors know each other\u2019s identities. A complete list of <\/span>preprint<\/span><\/b> servers accepted by the journal can be found on <\/span>http:\/\/dados.iesp.uerj.br\/preprints<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dados<\/span><\/i> adopts the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (<\/span>COPE<\/span><\/a>), of the <\/span>Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient\u00edfico e Tecnol\u00f3gico<\/span><\/a> and of the <\/span>Funda\u00e7\u00e3o de Amparo \u00e0 Pesquisa do Estado de S\u00e3o Paulo<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no fee for submission and evaluation of articles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
