Submission and Review Process

Peer Review Process

The Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença receives proposals of individual texts as well as thematic sections. Both are assessed through the principle of blind peer review, or opinions from at least two specialists from states or countries different from the author's state or country.

The journal accepts texts in the form of scientific articles, avoiding texts that are:

  • merely research projects or reports

  • exclusively literature review

  • excerpts from academic work without adaptation

  • reports of experiences without thorough theoretical discussion

  • incomplete or insufficiently developed for the theme they propose

  • outside the field of the Performing Arts and correlated areas

  • written in non-academic fashion or that contain too many orthographic and typing mistakes

  • formatted using rules that are different from the rules practiced by the journal.

The texts are reviewed in three stages. In the first stage, the text is sent to two reviewers from the editorial board or ad hoc reviewers, (experts in the area or approach of the article in question). During the second stage, the editors forward the texts that have received two favourable opinions; return to the authors the texts that have received two unfavourable opinions; forward to a third reviewer the texts whose evaluation is considered doubtful or inconsistent; and send to the authors the texts for which the evaluators made suggestions for modifications as a condition for publication; giving a deadline of 30 days for these modifications. The third stage consists in the evaluation of the changes made by the authors, when necessary, and the forwarding of approved texts for language review and standardization. In order to take forward the production in the area, all stages of evaluation are accompanied by descriptive opinions.

Thematic section proposals can be submitted by a researcher who must send from six to eight texts, and at least one translation of a work by an author connected to a foreign institution. The section must have a clear theme and diversity of approaches, and be introduced by the organizer, in addition to collecting texts by researchers from different institutions, not exceeding one text per author or co-author. The evaluation process of thematic section proposals is similar to the evaluation process of individual articles, according to the description above. In order to prompt certain themes, the journal can also invite researchers to contribute with texts, in much smaller proportion in comparison to the reviewed texts, under the condition that they are an important contribution to the field.

There are no fees for submission and review articles.
