About the Journal

The journal Convergências: Famílias e Políticas Públicas (CFPP), affiliated with the Núcleo de Estudos, Pesquisa e Extensão sobre Famílias e Políticas Públicas (NEF), plays a crucial role in disseminating knowledge and fostering academic debates in the fields of families and public policies. NEF is widely recognized for its detailed analysis of contemporary issues in the human, social, and health spheres, with a particular focus on the complex dynamics involving families and public policies.

Since its establishment in 2021 under the name Interfaces: Famílias e Políticas Públicas and its subsequent transformation into Convergências: Famílias e Políticas Públicas - CFPP, the journal has been a central vehicle for disseminating research and theoretical reflections on social protection policies for families across various regions of the world. Volumes 1, 2, and 3, published between 2022 and 2023, were pivotal in consolidating the group’s scientific contributions, reflecting on social protection policies and their global implications. CFPP has established itself as a significant channel for scientific communication on families and public policies, with notable reach in the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

Starting in 2024, the journal adopted a continuous publication model, moving away from the annual edition format. This transition aims to optimize the dissemination of scientific knowledge, better addressing current challenges and demands. CFPP implements innovative practices in scientific communication, including DOI assignment, XML file tagging, and engagement with open science practices. Additionally, the journal maintains an active presence on social media and provides its content in digital formats to expand its reach.

CFPP's mission is to document and promote scientific production and innovations in the field of families and public policies, significantly impacting professional practice in these areas. Its contribution is notable for embracing diverse approaches and strengthening the advancement of research, teaching, and extension across different continents.
