About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Periferia is a scientific journal focused on publishing original texts in the field of Education. The journal publishes articles, reviews, and interviews, prioritizing the field of Education, as well as productions that establish a dialogue between this field and Communication and Culture, with the collaboration of national and international researchers.

Regarding the publication's focus, the term periphery designates not only the geographical location of certain regions and the resulting social and economic aspects, but also the social phenomena and cultural manifestations that – due to their experimental, innovative, or alternative character – are situated on the margins of established trends, pointing to new scenarios, new modes of appropriation, and intellectual production.

 

Peer Review Process

Periferia conducts blind peer review by two reviewers. The reviewers' identities remain anonymous. Submitted works will be evaluated according to the following process:

 

1 - The received material undergoes an initial evaluation by the Editorial Committee to verify its suitability to the norms and editorial line. If the above requirements are not met, the material will be rejected. If necessary, after making the requested revisions, a new submission must be made.

 

2 - If it complies with the initial stage standards, it is sent to 2 reviewers for blind review. The author's anonymity is maintained when the text is sent to the reviewers. After evaluation by the reviewers, the Editorial Board makes the final decision based on the following criteria: approved for publication in the journal; make mandatory corrections; rejected for publication.

 

The approval or rejection of each article depends on the availability and speed of the Editorial Board and the ad hoc reviewers, taking an average of 180 days.

 

3 - If the text is approved, the authors will have 15 days to make adjustments, and if all are in accordance with the issued reviews, the text will be sent for editing and publication.

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

(based on Elsevier recommendations, COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors, Brazilian rules for research with human participants)

 

Periferia Journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.

 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors and Reviewers.

 

In particular,

 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and portray accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original and that, if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

 

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

 

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
