Guidelines for Manuscript Submission and Publication

Notas da redacção

Guidelines in force from 01.01.2024

I. General Info

1. e-cadernos CES publishes manuscripts resulting from colloquia, conferences, seminars, and workshops, as well as book reviews, critical reviews, and research texts produced within advanced training programs and scientific research projects. Emphasis is placed on the publication of original manuscripts in the field of the social sciences and the humanities which contribute to enrich the inter/transdisciplinary scientific research produced at the center and maximize international comparisons.

2. Manuscripts submitted to e-cadernos CES undergo a double-blind peer review process.

3. e-cadernos CES issues are thematic. All submitted manuscripts must therefore take into account the call for papers text advertised online.

4. The Editorial Board accepts proposals for the organization of thematic issues, provided that they contain a minimum of five manuscripts. To this purpose, the Organizing Committee shall submit a proposal including call for papers text and the list of contributions. The call for papers will be advertised on the e-cadernos CES website for about three months. This process will be supervised by a member of the Editorial Board. The Organizing Committee will be responsible for gathering the proposed contributions and verifying that they conform to the e-cadernos CES guidelines for publication.

5. The issues of e-cadernos CES may contain a final section (@cetera) with four contributions maximum in formats including interviews, debates, unpublished book reviews and other kinds of texts. These contributions will be evaluated by the Editorial Board and by the Organizing Committee. 

6. Manuscripts submitted to e-cadernos CES must be unpublished and authored by the person(s) submitting them. The manuscripts must clearly identify the source of every item that is not original (e.g., text excerpts, illustrations, tables, etc.), and make explicit reference, whenever necessary, to permissions obtained from copyright holders and/or authors. In the latter case, if the manuscripts include items protected by intellectual property rights, authors are responsible for obtaining permission from copyright holders.

7. Submission of a paper to e-cadernos CES is a certification by the author(s) that the manuscript has not otherwise been published in print or digital format (except for initial versions of the manuscript published as a working paper) and is not under review by another journal, neither will be.

II. Review and Decision Process

1. The Editorial Board reserves the right to publish or refuse publication to any submission and informs the authors of its decision and justification within a reasonable time frame upon receipt. This decision is supported by an evaluation of the manuscripts based on a double-blind peer review system, carried out in two consecutive stages:

a) initial assessment by the Organizing Committee of the special issue and the Executive Editorial Board, which decide on the manuscript’s submission to the following stage of the process, involving its evaluation by anonymous reviewers; this decision is made taking into consideration criteria of relevance, interest and quality, defined according to the journal's editorial policy, as well as the manuscript’s conformity to the submission guidelines contained in this document and to the call for papers;

b) detailed evaluation of the selected manuscripts by anonymous reviewers through a double-blind peer review system. Reviews resulting of this process will be used as a basis for the final decision on the manuscript's publication.

2. The Organizing Committee of the special issue and the Executive Editorial Board can suggest changes in the manuscript, according to the recommendations made by the reviewers, and re-evaluate the revised paper in order to make the final decision on its publication. Once the final version is settled, no more modifications will be allowed.

3. Published texts are of the sole responsibility of the respective authors.

III. Publication, distribution, and reproduction rights

1. Authors of texts published in e-cadernos CES authorize the transfer of edition, publication, distribution, reproduction, and marketing rights (including all the items they may contain, such as photographs, drawings, tables, data files, etc.) to e-cadernos CES. This transfer of rights is royalty-free, and e-cadernos CES will not offer any other compensation besides supplying the authors with three copies of the issue, if the publication is available in paper format. All contents of e-cadernos CES are published online under a Creative Commons License Attribution CC BY.

2. Reprinting in e-cadernos CES is allowed in exceptional cases, based on criteria of scholarly and intellectual relevance and opportuneness and in the following cases: if the text was published in another language, in books and journals (paper and/or electronic); was published in books (such as a book chapter or a chapter in a collection) 12 months before; if the text was published in a dissertation or thesis if not for commercial purposes. Reprinting will only be possible with an authorization from the owner(s) of the intellectual property rights.

3. Authors who wish to republish a manuscript accepted for publication in e-cadernos CES, in whole or in part, should always make an explicit reference to the original publication in e-cadernos CES, as defined by the Creative Commons License Attribution CC BY.

IV. Guidelines for text submission

1. All manuscripts to be considered for publication in thematic issues will be presented in their final version in Portuguese, English, Spanish, or French. Unless otherwise stated, manuscripts must not exceed 60,000 characters (with spaces), including notes and references. After 2012, all articles in Portuguese follow the new orthographic rules.

2. For the final section (@cetera), which will publish four contributions maximum, interviews and debates (up to 25,000 characters including spaces) may be submitted as well as unpublished book reviews (about 5,000 characters including spaces). Other text formats may be assessed if deemed relevant to the issue by the Organizing Committee or the Editorial Board.

3. In order to protect anonymity, the first page of the document should include the name of the author(s) as well as the name of the institution where s/he currently develops his/her activity. There should be no other reference to the author’s name in the body of the text, headings or footnotes.

4. Manuscripts should always include five keywords and an abstract in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The abstract should not exceed 900 characters and it must include the title of the manuscript – no longer than15 words.

Manuscript formatting

Bibliographical references

Starting from 2024, e-cadernos CES will generally follow the APA (7th edition) citation guidelines. Several examples of how to apply these guidelines can be found at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples. It is recommended that authors use bibliographic management tools when writing their texts.

1. In-text references will always be placed in parentheses, using the abbreviated form of the author’s last name, publication date, and, if applicable, page number. Examples:

A single author: (Sá, 1991, pp. 7–9)

Two authors: (Sampaio & Gameiro, 1985)

Three or more authors: (Silva et al., 1989)

Multiple works by the same author published in the same year: (Fine, 2017a, 2017b)

Multiple works by different authors must be arranged in alphabetical order by surname: (Cardon, 2012; Uski & Lampinen, 2016; Wan et al., 2015)

Indirect citation: (cited in Ferreira, 1992, p. 217)

2. The complete list of works cited in the text (and only these) should be included at the end, with the title “References”, alphabetically ordered by the authors’ last name. The authors’ names will be separated by commas, and before the last one, the symbol “&” should be added. If it is a translation, the name of the translator and the original year of publication must be included. The place of publication is not to be included in the references, but the publisher must always be indicated. When referencing journal articles or book chapters, the page range of the cited text must always be provided. DOI should be presented in the following format: https://doi.org/xxxxxx.
