About the Journal
|
Educação em Revista is a publication of the Postgraduate Program in Education: Knowledge and Social Inclusion of the College of Education, Federal University of Minas Gerais (FaE/UFMG). It aims to contribute to the dissemination of scientific knowledge in education by producing original, innovative research from universities and research institutions in Brazil and abroad, with critical reflections and proposals for the educational field, educational policies, and teaching at all levels. It publishes original manuscripts in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, from different theoretical and methodological perspectives that effectively contribute to the academic debate in the field of education. |
Brief Background
|
Educação em Revista was created in 1985, with two publications annually. In 2009, its periodicity became quarterly. In 2011, the ahead-of-print system was implemented, whereby approved articles are previously announced before final publication in the journal. Educação em Revista was the first Brazilian educational journal to implement this type of publication. In 2012, the periodicity was changed to publish every four months. In 2016, the journal began to be published exclusively in electronic format and, from 2017 onwards, through continuous publication, allowing greater speed and transparency in the processing of manuscripts. Based on this history, the journal Educação em Revista has become a recognized publication within the national and international academic community, and researchers seek it for the publication of their manuscripts. In 2021, in line with Open Science, Educação em Revista adopted an editorial policy involving: the acceptance of preprints, the availability of supplementary research materials, and the opening of the peer review process. It is important to highlight that the experience with open peer review began in 2023. The contribution of section editors is duly credited in the published article that underwent open peer review. The journal publishes the reviews, and the reviewers receive a statement of their opinion on the manuscript and can also validate their activity on Publons. With these practices, Educação em Revista seeks to promote greater transparency in knowledge production processes and facilitate the sharing and reuse of data and other content from research. Educação em Revista has been classified as A1 in the Qualis-Capes system since 2013, in the field of Education. It is one of the journals classified as “specific to the educational field” in an evaluation promoted by the Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação - ANPEd, in 2006, when it received the “National A” rating. In the 2021-2024 Qualis Capes ranking, Educação em Revista remained at A1. |
Open Access
|
This journal follows the Open Access model, allowing unrestricted virtual access (including financial restrictions) to all scientific texts published by the journal. Open access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties using an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full texts of the articles, track them for indexing, pass them as data to software or use them for any other lawful purpose. |
Open Science Compliance
|
Open Science is based on eight principles: Open Access, Open Data, Open Peer Review, Citizen Science, Open Source, Open Notebook, Open Educational Resources, and Scientific Social Networks. Educação em Revista, in its editorial policy, is committed to these principles, which are geared towards transparency in the processes of evaluation, editing, and curation of research communication objects, playing an essential role in promoting credibility and transparency. In line with these principles, Educação em Revista has adopted a series of practices, such as an open access policy, a code of good practices, and the use of social media to disseminate published manuscripts. For articles with multiple authors, the role of each author is required. Furthermore, we recommend sharing the analysis data, instruments, scripts, and materials available in the SciELO Data online repository. Authors should use file formats in which the data can be extracted, aiming to maximize accessibility and reuse of the dataset. If the data cannot be published, this information must be indicated in the manuscript. The process begins with the submission of manuscripts previously deposited on the SciELO preprint server, available at https://preprints.scielo.org/, or in other open online repositories, such as: https://zenodo.org/; https://figshare.com/; https://osf.io/. The manuscript submitted to Educação em Revista previously deposited on the SciELO preprint server or in another repository duly informed by the author(s) will be evaluated by the Editorial Committee, which will verify the relevance of the article to the scope of the journal and the respective proposed section. If approved, the manuscript will be submitted to the plagiarism and self-plagiarism verification program called Check For Plagiarism. |
Ethics in Publication
|
Educação em Revista is committed to observing good ethical practices in manuscript management, involving editors, reviewers, and authors. Author(s) should adopt the “SciELO Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication” and the “Principles of Transparency and Best Practices in Academic Publications” as a reference in their manuscripts recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). The publication of articles presenting research results involving human beings and conducted in Brazil must be approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP-Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa), according to CNS Resolution number 466, of December 12, 2012 (Ethics in Research in Human and Social Science); and CNS Resolution number 510, of April 7, 2016 (Ethics in Research in Human and Social Sciences). Decree 12,651, of October 7, 2025, which regulates Law 14,874, of May 28, 2024, establishes the principles, guidelines, and rules for conducting research with human beings and institutes the National Ethics Committee for Research. If the research has not been reviewed and approved by a CEP, it must comply with the ethical parameters adopted by Educação em Revista. Manuscripts with foreign authors must follow the ethical guidelines of their country of origin. This information should be mentioned in the body of the manuscript, in the methodology section, or at the end of the article, after the references. |
The use of Artificial Intelligence Resources
The ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) resources in scientific research means that these technologies should be employed to support, and not replace, critical analysis or the research process. Authors are responsible for verifying and correcting AI-generated results, ensuring that there is no data manipulation, plagiarism, or violation of intellectual property. Listing AI as the author is also prohibited, as it entails responsibilities that only human beings can assume. The use of AI to generate images, graphs, or figures must be described in detail in the methods section, always ensuring the authenticity of the process.
An explicit and transparent declaration is mandatory for authors when using AI resources, meaning they must explicitly state which resources were used, at what stage of the process, and how they contributed to the manuscript's creation. This information should be included in the methods to strengthen ethics and trust in scientific publication. Generating data using AI is prohibited; researchers must apply rigorous techniques for data collection and interpretation. Editors are responsible for monitoring compliance with this policy, reviewing AI usage declarations, and updating guidelines as needed to preserve the quality and integrity of scientific articles. Educação em Revista follows the Guidelines to use Artificial Intelligence tools and resources in research communication on SciELO Network and, accordingly, also adopts Guidelines for authors, reviewers, and editors on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in manuscripts submitted to Educação em Revista.
