Peer Review Process
The manuscripts sent to Doxa are first evaluated regarding the formatting and the complete registration of the authors. If they do not meet the guidelines for authors, the manuscripts are returned, indicating the required requests. Our average time for this task is 12 to 24 weeks, depending on the flow of articles submitted to the journal.
After entering the review process, articles are evaluated in two rounds of review. The first by members of the Editorial Board and the second by invited ad hoc referees. In the first, the following items are evaluated: formatting; ABNT norms; figures, images, pictures, and respective sources; presentation of the manuscript in the Journal's template; abstracts in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; number of pages; preliminary triage as to scientificity, clarity, innovation, and novelty.
In the second round of evaluation, the article is distributed to referees respecting the adequacy between the theme and the specialist's area of knowledge. All texts are submitted to the evaluation of at least two referees in a blinded process, according to the following criteria: appropriateness of the title to the content; internal structure of the article; clarity and pertinence of the objectives; consistent methodology that supports the proposed analyses; results and discussion that bring a scientific contribution - innovative approach, critical, reflective, or creative vision, offering advances to knowledge -; citations and references appropriate to the technical standards adopted by the journal; and pertinence to the editorial line of the publication.
The reviewers fill out a standard form with options already determined, in which there is an open field for justifying the final decision by accepting, rejecting, or recommending corrections and/or necessary adjustments to the articles. This initial evaluation process takes, on average, two months.
In case of disagreement between the evaluators on the pertinence or otherwise of publication, the article is sent to a third evaluator and the result is submitted to the Editorial Board for final judgment.
If changes are requested, the article may be forwarded for further evaluation. Spelling and grammatical alterations in the language of the article, as well as abstracts and titles in English and Spanish, are the responsibility of the author(s). No additions or changes are allowed after approval of the final review. The articles are then available for publication in protocol order.
Periodicity
Starting in 2021 it is Continuous Publication.
Continuous publication refers to a single issue, annually, in the months of January through December. The publication will occur in blocks of articles approved by referees and soon after they are revised, normalized, and translated into English.
Open Access Policy
Doxa does not charge submission fees to authors and offers free access to its contents, following the principle that making scientific knowledge freely available to the general public provides greater democratization of access to information, a condition for citizens to enhance the exercise of freedom of choice based on and above their interests.
Criteria for organization of dossier / Dossier criteria for organization
Dossiers are issues organized by guests, researchers, and professors. In the organization of the dossiers, they will be observed as to the inter-institutional character and address themes of relevance to the area distinct and specified to the Focus and Scope of the journal. The objective of the dossier is to broaden the academic debate, foster research exchanges, and/or deepen the formative experiences in research and/or teaching with the national and international scientific community.
The evaluation of the dossier proposal takes place in two stages:
First, the proponent(s) must send the dossier's menu, with the name and institutional identification of the proponents (three, maximum, and preferably one of them with a doctoral degree), as well as with the titles of the papers, authors and institutional affiliation (Institution, department and graduate program). Authors must follow the submission guidelines. The organizers will be responsible for sending the material in the stages.
