Its aim is to publish original articles and pedagogical products, both national and international, derived from academic research results that contribute to the advancement of knowledge or improve life in society.
The scientific articles, resulting from empirical research or literature reviews, and the pedagogical products (technical/technological) emphasize the field of humanities in an interdisciplinary manner, considering teaching and learning, and contribute to expanding knowledge regarding the qualification of educational practices and the valorization of memories and oralities of students and teachers in basic and higher education. It values education and teaching by disseminating knowledge in the interface of various disciplines such as Pedagogy, History, Literature, Geography, Philosophy, Social Sciences, Visual Arts, and related fields.
The target audience of "Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades" includes researchers in the humanities field, teachers in basic and higher education, students, and other professionals interested in the mentioned topics.
"Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades" is published in Portuguese, in an online version, and accepts submissions in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish on a rolling basis. Starting from 2023, all articles are published bilingually, with a priority given to English as the second language.
Peer Review Process and Criteria
Received articles will be initially reviewed by the scientific editor, who will conduct an initial screening to assess compliance with the journal's guidelines, focus, and scope. Texts that meet the norms and objectives of "Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades" will be forwarded to doctoral researchers from different educational and research institutions, preferably affiliated with Graduate Programs in Education, as ad hoc reviewers, based on their competence in the evaluated article's subject/theme. This process ensures a double-blind peer review. At this stage, reviewers from institutions different from the author(s) of the submission will declare the absence of any conflicts of interest and their availability or non-availability to carry out the evaluation. In case of declination, another reviewer will be added to perform the evaluation task.
The identities of authors and reviewers are revealed to make the process more transparent and democratic. Additionally, the journal aims to adhere to the principles of open science.
For the final acceptance of an article, double approval is required. In case of disagreement in the double-blind review, the submission will be sent to a third ad hoc reviewer for the necessary resolution.
After this evaluation phase, the authors will be notified of all the ad hoc reviewers' opinions received. Articles approved without reservations will be directly sent to the managing editor, who may request adjustments to enhance the content of the publication or proceed with the editing without remarks. If the text requires modifications, the proposed changes will be sent to the authors, who will decide whether to agree to implement them to continue the evaluation process or not, based on the suggestions of the ad hoc reviewers, within the deadline defined by the editor. In case of unresolved disagreements in the recommendations or the absence of author response, the article will be archived. However, if the recommendations are accepted, the modifications made to the text should be highlighted for verification by the scientific editor, who will confirm whether the requested changes have been addressed or not, and make the final decision on the publication of the article.
The names of the reviewers, as well as the authors for approved texts, will be disclosed upon article publication to the reading community. Thus, the reviewers give prior consent to the disclosure of their names after the evaluation process is completed.
Once the evaluation is completed, the administrative editor forwards the article to each member of the technical team, coordinating the final editing process. The administrative editor oversees the similarity check on Ithenticate, linguistic correction, and normalization according to ABNT standards, layout, translation, XML markup, Crossmark activation, metadata deposit, DOI assignment, and publication.
All final versions of the files are sent for the authors' validation, who may request minor adjustments.
The evaluation process is expected to take up to 6 (six) months. If it is not possible to find reviewers to provide feedback within this timeframe, a member of the editorial committee takes responsibility for the urgent review.
Members of the scientific committee and editors are not prohibited from publishing in the journal because it is understood that they are references in their field of expertise, and their research is valuable contributions to Rev.Pemo. In this specific case, the evaluation management is assigned to a member of the editorial board from a different country than the author, after signing a declaration of no conflict of interest and a commitment to ensure the absence of any intervention.
