Submissions

Author Guidelines

The journal Trabalho & Educação does not charge any kind of fees for submission and/or publication of authors and the copyright of published works is granted free access; the authors remain entitled to publish in other journals or books, recognized and indicated the authorship and initial publication in this journal.

The journal Trabalho & Educação publishes original works that should be submitted following some basic guidelines and considering, initially, that they should be unpublished and preferably resulting from research.

In the analysis of papers submitted for publication in the journal their unequivocal contribution to the debate of the proposed issues and to the production of knowledge in the field of research in Work and Education will be considered.

When submitting the papers, the authors must indicate the section to which they are submitting, namely: Articles (Dossier and continuous demand), Reviews, Abstracts of Dissertations or Theses, and Interviews. Submissions in the Articles section may have a maximum of 04 authors, and at least one of the authors must have the title of Doctor. At the discretion of the editorial board of the Trabalho & Educação journal, articles submissions may be accepted without at least one doctor provided that all other authors are masters.

Note that, as part of the submission process, the originals must be forwarded exclusively through the journal’s website, in which the author needs to be registered, which can be done here.

After the submission, Editorial Board and the Editors will evaluate the relevance for publication of the paper presented, regarding the adequacy of the profile, the editorial line of the journal and its publication standards, and by ad hoc reviewers, regarding content, quality, and relevance, among other criteria.

If the work is approved for publication, the first author will be notified.

Submissions should follow the guidelines specified below.

__

1^st Step

Registration of the author in the electronic system of the journal with the mandatory binding of the digital identifier ORCiD, which can be done here. If you are already registered and have associated the respective ORCiD, access your profile and proceed to submission. To update the registration with the code ORCiD go to: Access -> Profile -> Public -> ORCiD iD -> Save. 

ORCiD is a free digital identifier that distinguishes authorship while avoiding the problem of name similarity. Filling out the code ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) of each author and co-author of the work is mandatory.

2^nd Step

When initiating submission, all authorship identification data must be indicated on the screens that follow.

This data must be entered in the appropriate fields of the submission registration page in the journal, including:

(a) full name of the author or authors (when applicable);

(b) valid email address for contact with the Journal and readers;

(c) brief description of the curriculum (summary of the biography – around four lines, indicating an academic degree and professional performance);

(d) institutional affiliation (full name of institution, city, and state).

Obviously, this data should not appear in the file with the text of the article submitted for evaluation.

The opinions expressed by the authors of the articles are their sole responsibility and the copyright is transferred to the journal for the purposes of printed and electronic publication.

3^rd Step

The author must submit, in addition to the document with the text to be evaluated, another supplementary document. Therefore, submission is characterized by sending two separate documents: the text of the article (without the indications of authorship); and an additional document according to the following instructions:

At the beginning of the article text indicate only the titles (Portuguese and English), the abstract/resumo, and the keywords/palavras-chaves, without authorship identification, avoiding any data that can do so, directly or indirectly, throughout the text. A pre-configured template can be accessed and downloaded here and must be used as condition for submission acceptance.

Also in the article text, inform (preferably in footnote):

(i) if it has been previously presented or published at meetings and/or other scientific events; 

(ii) if it was evaluated by the Research Ethics Committee (COEP), when applicable; 

(iii) if it has funding from funding agencies and which they are; 

(iv) if it is the result of research, expressly indicating it.

In the supplementary document, please indicate: 

(i) the title of the work and its translation, in English, centralized and how they would be published; 

(ii) the full name(s) of the author(s), as they would have been in the published text (SURNAME, name), below the titles and aligned to the right; 

(iii) for each author, a footnote stating, at least, the degree/academic education and the institution to which they are linked to and their position in it. When the work is written by more than one author, order them, with the main author first. If another procedure is adopted, explain the reason;

You can  access and download here a preconfigured template for the supplementary submission document.

Submissions outside the requested standards for publication delay and greatly impair the editing process, and this for the Journal and the authors themselves. For this reason, submissions that do not comply with the standards requested here – including text formatting in the template available here – will be refused.

The authors should verify the conformity of the submission regarding all the items listed below, in addition to submitting the text observing the appropriate use of language, the use of a clear and coherent writing style in presenting the ideas. A previous, orthographic, grammatical, and norms review is the responsibility of the author.
