How to submit your article
Since January 1, 2021, Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva has been aligning with the so-called Open Science criteria, progressively adopting its principles and practices. What does that mean?
- Adherence of authors, who so wish, to the dissemination of their articles in preprint format;
- Authors suggest the dissemination of the primary data of the research that gave rise to their article in certified repositories;
- Appreciation of evaluators, by opening their opinions, whenever they wish.
When submitting your article, you should be aware of what is a preprint and how you can proceed to integrate this first stage of Open Science. The preprint makes articles and other scientific communications available immediately or in parallel with their evaluation and validation by journals. As a result, it accelerates the communication of research results, guarantees intellectual authorship, and allows the author to receive comments that contribute to improving his work, before submitting it to a journal. Although the article can only remain in the preprints repository (if the author does not want to send it to a journal), journals continue to perform the fundamental functions of validation, preservation, and dissemination of research. Therefore:
- You can now submit your article to the SciELO preprints server (https://preprints.scielo.org) or to another reliable server. In this case, it will be evaluated by a team of experts from these servers, to verify whether the manuscript complies with basic criteria regarding text structure and document types. If approved, it will receive a doi that guarantees its immediate international release.
- Simultaneously, if you wish, you can submit it to Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. The two processes are compatible.
- You can choose to submit the article only to Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. Submission to a preprint repository is not mandatory.
As of January 20, 2021, a submission fee of R$ 100.00 (one hundred Brazilian Reals) is charged for national articles and US$ 25.00 (25 dollars) for international articles. The amount will not be refunded if the material is refused. This support from the authors is essential to finance the Journal's costs, enabling the publication with universal access by readers. No publication fee is charged.
