Author Guidelines

A revista "Convergências: Famílias e Políticas Públicas", do Núcleo de Estudos, Pesquisas e Extensão em Famílias e Políticas Públicas (NEF), é um periódico científico que publica trabalhos originais (que não tenham sido publicados anteriormente em outro periódico, conferência anais, site ou qualquer outro meio de divulgação), de autoria de no máximo cinco autores (pelo menos um deles com doutorado). A partir de 2024, a revista adotará um fluxo contínuo para suas publicações, abandonando o formato de edições anuais. Esta transição visa promover a difusão do conhecimento científico, nomeadamente face aos desafios e exigências do presente.

O autor é a pessoa que contribuiu significativamente na concepção da pesquisa, no desenvolvimento, na interpretação dos dados e em todo o processo de revisão e aprovação da versão final do artigo.

A revista publica artigos científicos, resumos estendidos de dissertações de mestrado, produtos técnicos e relatos de experiência de acordo com o perfil de cada chamada, garantindo foco em Famílias e Políticas Públicas nas áreas da saúde, humanidades e ciências sociais.

A revista adota medidas para prevenir conflitos de interesses durante a avaliação dos artigos submetidos. Para garantir o anonimato dos autores, não devem ser incluídas exceções de autoria no corpo do texto, sendo recomendado o uso de “XXX” no lugar dos nomes e afiliações dos autores. Caso o artigo seja aprovado para publicação, a equipe editorial buscará informações de autoria nos metadados do texto.

São aceitos trabalhos escritos em português, espanhol, inglês e francês. No caso de artigos escritos em idioma diferente do português, é necessário acompanhá-los de título, resumo e palavras-chave em português. Os trabalhos deverão ter um título que indique claramente o foco principal do estudo.

Ethics and Misconduct Policy, Errata, and Retraction

The CFPP Journal follows guidelines on ethical publishing practices and combating scientific misconduct. Any case of plagiarism, data falsification, duplicate publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or other forms of scientific misconduct, once identified, will be taken seriously by the Editorial Board. CFPP reserves the right to take permitted actions, including but not limited to, removal of manuscripts, exclusion of future submissions from involved authors, and reporting of violations to affiliated institutions.

Errata: We recognize the importance of correcting errors that may arise after the publication of an article. If a significant error is identified, authors must immediately notify the journal. An erratum will be published as soon as possible to detail the corrections and ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record.

Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism (Text Recycling): CFPP prohibits plagiarism and self-plagiarism. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author reuses parts of their previously published works without proper citation. Manuscripts with text recycling will be rejected and may be evaluated by the Editorial Board.

Duplicate and Redundant Publication: We publish only original content. Submitting a study to multiple journals simultaneously or splitting the results of a study into several articles ("salami publication") is not allowed. Violations will result in the destruction or retraction of the article, with possible evaluations by the Editorial Board.

Data Fabrication and Falsification: Fraudulent activities such as image manipulation, data fabrication, or falsification will lead to the immediate removal of the manuscript from the review process and possible evaluations by the Editorial Board.

Corrections and Retractions: In cases of serious errors or findings of scientific misconduct, such as plagiarism or data falsification, retraction of the article may be necessary. The decision to retract an article is made by the Editor-in-Chief after a careful investigation and, when appropriate, consultation with external experts. The retraction will be clearly identified as such and remain linked to the original article on the journal's website, maintaining transparency and integrity in the academic record.

Use of Chatbots, ChatGPT in Manuscripts Submitted to CFPP, and Conclusions Presented in Scientific Manuscripts Using Chatbots or ChatGPT: To maintain public trust in the findings and advancements presented, CFPP supports WAME’s recommendations on ethical considerations related to the use of these technologies in scientific manuscripts. Guidelines include transparency, accountability, attribution, and discussion of the limitations and potential perspectives of using Chatbots or ChatGPT in text production. Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of the main manuscript file, before the References section. The statement should clarify the use of the tool/service, its purpose, the review and editing done by the authors, and the responsibility for the content of the publication. This statement does not apply to the use of basic grammar, spelling, referencing tools, etc. If there is nothing to disclose, no statement is required. These policies are essential to maintaining high ethical standards in scientific publishing and ensuring trust in the integrity of the content published by CFPP.

Evaluation Policy

CONVERGENCES adopts the double-blind peer review process, which involves assigning two or more external reviewers to assess the manuscript, with the identities of reviewers and authors hidden in some cases throughout the evaluation process.

All scientific contributions are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Editorial Board Members, and/or Guest Reviewers, through the following processes:

Initial Review: At this stage, the editorial assistant evaluates each manuscript against the standards set in the Author Guidelines, plagiarism criteria, and good editorial practices. If the manuscript does not meet the established standards, it will be returned for correction. Manuscripts that do not pass the initial review will be rejected and returned to the authors. Evaluation Process: Manuscripts that pass the initial review are assigned to two independent reviewers based on their specialization in the specific area. Opinions: Reviewers provide their feedback directly through the OJS system. The decision can be "Accept Submission," "Revisions Required," "Resubmit for Review," or "Decline Submission." If the decision is "Resubmit for Review," the manuscript must be revised and resubmitted for a second round of peer review. Approval or Rejection: The Editor-in-Chief decides, based on the reviews, whether to approve or reject the manuscript. Upon acceptance, the manuscript enters the editing/publication process for publication.

Resenha

A review is a form of written expression focused on the analysis and commentary of works in the fields of Humanities, Social Sciences, or Health. It is essential to highlight that a critique should include a brief summary of the work under discussion, an evaluation of the positive and negative aspects found, as well as the critic's personal opinion on the analyzed work.

Essentially, criticism is an opportunity for the author - known as the critic - to examine and comment on a wide variety of cultural productions, such as films, music albums, novels, and other works. Its main objective is to offer the reader a critical and comprehensive view of the material in question, helping them decide whether or not to engage with it. In this sense, criticism plays a crucial role in guiding the public in their cultural choices, providing ideas and perspectives that can significantly enrich their media consumption experience.

Reviews can be:

Descriptive: characterized by the predominance of expository typology, which is characterized by the presentation of a series of information about the examined object. In this format, the critic refrains from expressing their opinion about the work, focusing instead on the description and presentation of objective and relevant aspects of the analyzed material.

Critical: of an expository-argumentative nature, combining elements of exposition and argumentation to support a specific point of view on the examined object. In its structure, in addition to a brief summary of the content to be examined, the author must develop arguments to justify their critical evaluation, as well as include up to 3 keywords.

This work must comply with the formatting standards established by NBR 6022/2018 of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), being written in Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.5 spacing between lines. The guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) for citations in international articles are followed.
