About the journal

 

A Brief History

 

The Revista Brasileira de Saúde Materno Infantil (RBSMI) / Brazilian Journal of Mother and Child Health (BJMCH) is a journal of international circulation, published by the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP) with the mission of disseminating scientific articles investigating women's health, pregnant women and children in their clinical and epidemiological dimensions. In this sense, it is closely articulated with the same objectives of its sponsoring Institution, IMIP.

The BJMCH is the continuation of  the Revista do IMIP (Journal of IMIP), which was edited uninterruptedly since its foundation in 1987 until the year 2000.

Professor Fernando Figueira’s presence was fundamental in these undertakings, as a medical editor and founder of the Revista do IMIP a great encourager for BJMCH, who achieved to widen the Revista do IMIP (Journal of IMIP) in becoming international.

The BJMCH is open to health researchers from all over the world. Most of the published articles were not only come from Brazil, but from all Latin America, Portuguese-speaking African Countries, Portugal and Spain among others.

 

 

Compliance with Open Science

 

This journal follows the open Science Green model.

When submitting a manuscript, it is mandatory to fill in the "Open Science Compliance" form, in which the authors share with the journal information about the manuscript's compliance with Open Science communication practices.

Sharing research data, which are the scientific components or records that support the results, allows for their validation/replication. In this way, RBSMI recommends making Research Data and/or other materials available in repositories in order to facilitate the evaluation of manuscripts, contribute to the preservation and reuse of content as well as the reproducibility and transparency of research. We have adopted Level 1 data curation.

Access to the SciELO Data RBSMI repository and sample declarations and guides are available at the links below:

For articles that do not require approval from the Ethics Committee, a statement signed by the author waiving the requirement must be entered into the system.

EDITORIAL POLICY

Preprints

 

Preprints that have been deposited on a server and/or during the peer review process will be accepted for submission to RBSMI. The author must inform the server and assigned DOI. Articles that have already been approved should not be published on a preprint server.

 

 

Peer review process

 

In keeping with the Science and Open Data guidelines, we publish the name of the editor responsible (Associate) for the evaluation in the final article. Reviewers are also offered the option of talking directly to the corresponding author, whether or not their identity is disclosed. Authors have the option of publishing the approval of articles without identifying the reviewers.

The selection of each article rigorously obeys the following procedure:

As soon as the corresponding manuscript is received, it is verified by a checklist with the minimum editorial requirements (mission, scope and category of the article). After checking, the manuscript it is then evaluated by the editor-in-chief who sends it to the associate editor to be submitted for analysis and receive the opinion of two Ad Hoc reviewers to be evaluated for scientific merit. In case of disagreement among their opinions, a third reviewer will be requested. The associated editor may in the same way at his/her criteria, issue a third opinion.

Based on their opinions and on the judgment of the associate editor, the executive editor, and the editor-in-chief, the manuscript receives one of the following classifications: 1) accepted; 2) recommended, but with minor revision; 3) recommended, but with major revision; 4) rejected. In classifications two and three, the opinions are sent to the author(s), who have the opportunity to revise and resubmit to the journal accompanied by a reply letter detailing the items that have been suggested by the reviewers and the modification made; and in condition four, the manuscript is returned to the author(s). In case of acceptance, the article is published in continuous flow. Since the journal adopts the ScholarOne system to manage the flow of manuscripts, having clear knowledge of the process, authors can follow all the steps in the editing of the article.

Articles submitted to the BJMCH will undergo plagiarism detection before sending for Ad Hoc evaluation. Thus, to ensure the originality of the manuscripts, there may be questions for the authors to clarify anyinformation identified by the software. If there is evidence of plagiarism, an unacceptable editorial practice, the authors involved will not be permitted to submit new articles to the journal.

All approved articles submitted in Portuguese or Spanish will be translated into English. In this case, the translation must be done by qualified professionals who issue a certification or appointed by the journal. The translated article must be accompanied with a statement from the translator.

The approved manuscript is edited for revision on the scientific writing (clarity, precision and robustness), grammar and style. The BJMCH reserves the right to make changes or recommend grammatical revision to the authors for optimal communication with the readers.

Before publication of the article the manuscript proof is submitted to the author(s) to verifiy and give the final approval. The article is only published after the author(s)’ approval. For the management of manuscripts, the BJMCH uses the website - ScholarOne.

The average processing time until the acceptance for publication of each article is six months.

The collection of our journal is available at SciELO Base since 2001 with no previous editions.

There were several important factors for the National and International Recognition of the Journal, should be highlighted as followed:

1. IMIP has total commitment of maintaining the journal with a high level of qualification;
2. IMIP is responsible to search for professional consultants with expertise in scientific publications in Brazil and abroad;
