Basic information
Revista Direito GV publishes articles of law or interdisciplinary approach, which result from empirical and theoretical research in dialogue with the fields of research in law and development, law and society, and law and economics. Its mission is to disseminate research results that adopt a perspective of reflection on law “in context” and a concept of development that goes beyond the idea of economic growth, incorporating the promotion of fundamental freedoms and rights, the consolidation of democracy, the overcoming of the colonial past and inequalities, and the fight against various forms of oppression, such as race, gender and sexual orientation. The articles can address law both from the description, observation, analysis, diagnosis, criticism and proposal of solutions for the functioning of legal institutions and through doctrinal reflections open to the social context and attentive to the sociopolitical and economic disputes that occur through the grammar of law. Articles must be unpublished (nationally or internationally) and original. By unpublished, we understand as articles not published in any other printed or digital medium in Portuguese or any other language. By original, we understand the texts that innovate within the field of research in which they are inserted. At the discretion of the Editorial Board, the journal may publish previously published articles of exceptional academic value. Within its thematic scope, the journal also publishes original reviews of books published in the last two years and translations of texts by foreign authors whose diffusion is fundamental for developing Brazilian academic research. Articles and reviews can be submitted in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. However, we encourage the submission of articles in English, regardless of the nationality of the authors. Translations will be published only in Portuguese. Manuscripts submitted may not be under evaluation in another journal. The journal is an online and open-access academic publication from the Fundação Getulio Vargas Sao Paulo Law School (FGV DIREITO SP) - online ISSN 2317-6172. It adopts the rolling publication system with annual periodicity. Its abbreviated title is Rev. Direito GV, which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, bibliographical references and strips.

Scope and political
Revista Direito GV publishes articles of law or interdisciplinary approach, which result from empirical and theoretical research in dialogue with the fields of research in law and development, law and society, and law and economics. Its mission is to disseminate research results that adopt a perspective of reflection on law “in context” and a concept of development that goes beyond the idea of economic growth, incorporating the promotion of fundamental freedoms and rights, the consolidation of democracy, the overcoming of the colonial past and inequalities, and the fight against various forms of oppression, such as race, gender and sexual orientation. The articles can address law both from the description, observation, analysis, diagnosis, criticism and proposal of solutions for the functioning of legal institutions and through doctrinal reflections open to the social context and attentive to the sociopolitical and economic disputes that occur through the grammar of law. The articles submitted to Revista Direito GV undergo two evaluation filters. 1 – Desk review All articles undergo a prior assessment (desk review). carried out by the Editorial Board to verify compliance with the mandatory formal submission requirements provided in the section “Guidelines for authors”, including their uniqueness, the adequacy of the text to the thematic and methodological scope of the journal and its originality, indicating its potential for publication. In this initial phase, it is also performed a similarity check through the anti-plagiarism iThenticate software. Articles that meet these requirements will proceed to the peer review phase. 2 – Blind peer review The articles that go through the first filter –desk review– are sent to the second filter: blind peer review, carried out by at least two ad hoc evaluators. Reviewers can suggest five types of decisions (accept; accept as long as minor corrections are made –minor revisions–; accept as long as substantive corrections are made –major revisions–; reject and resubmit; and reject). To be eligible for publication, the article may not have received any “reject and resubmit” or “reject” evaluation. Peer reviews should be guided exclusively by the objective of advancing knowledge within the field to which the manuscript belongs. Any suspicion of conflict of interest that may impair the objectivity and impartiality of the evaluation must be communicated to the editorial team. Access the evaluation form in Portuguese, English and Spanish. If the article is deposited on a preprints server or a partially public server, the peer evaluation system changes from double-blind to single-blind, where the reviewers will know the authorship of the article, but the authors will not know the identity of the reviewers. 3 - Other stages of evaluation Once the opinions have been received, they are forwarded to the corresponding author of the article for his/her acknowledgment and, if applicable, incorporate the suggested modifications. In the latter case, the modified text should be sent to the journal within the stipulated period along with a reply letter (or cover letter) detailing the modifications made to the editor and the reviewers. The corresponding author must follow the journal’s formatting and submission rules. Modifications made to the text should be made using the “Track Changes” tool in the Microsoft Word text editor. The modified text will be evaluated again by the editor according to the changes made. The editor may refer it to the same evaluators of the previous stage or to others, if necessary, before the final decision of approval or rejection. The final decision of approval or rejection depends, fundamentally, on three factors: (i) the article not having received any “rejection” or “rejection and resubmission” evaluation throughout the process, (ii) the individual quality of the text after the modifications made, if any, and (iii) the relative quality of the text in light of the set of articles in stock for publication at the time of the decision. Once approved, the articles will be sent to the processes of copyediting, layout development and formal and orthographic review. They will be sent to the authors in case of doubts and for final validation before publication. In this validation, no modifications or will be allowed, except in exceptional cases. The editor may suggest changes and cuts in the texts to better adapt them to the standards of the journal. The approved articles follow an order of publication that will respect, whenever possible, antiquity in submission and approval, as well as formal criteria applicable to the Qualis/Capes A1 journals –or criteria that may replace them– and the criteria suggested by SciELO. Accepted and published articles that remain available on preprint servers should indicate the link of the version published in Revista Direito GV. Reviews and translations will be evaluated and selected by the Editorial Board of the journal. New submissions of articles that have received an editorial decision of “rejection” will not be accepted |
Submission rules
Phase 1 – Preparation of the original documents required for submission Before starting the submission, the corresponding author must prepare two indispensable documents for the desk review phase: (i) article and (ii) cover letter. You can optionally prepare (iii) additional documents for insertion in the ScholarOne system. (i) Article Articles must have a maximum of 10,000 words (including pre-textual and post-textual elements, notes, tables, graphs, bibliographical references, etc.
Note: Articles from foreign authors who use other author-date citation and referencing styles can be accepted; however, if approved, these articles will be standardized according to the ABNT (Brazilian Association of Technical Standards) styles in the editing stages, and their authors should commit to reviewing their articles after this standardization. Long citations (of 4 lines or more) should be presented in a highlighted paragraph with indentation (of 2 cm) and lower font size (10).
The first page of the article must contain:
(ii) Cover Letter
Articles that do not meet all of the formal requirements listed above will be rejected immediately during the review in the desk review phase). (iii) Additional files The corresponding author must provide information on the alignment of the research and the compliance of the manuscript with Open Science practices by completing and attaching the Open Science Compliance Form as a supplementary file to the manuscript. The form will be shared with publishers and ad hoc reviewers. When necessary, other attachments should be included in the submission, such as databases, documents containing tables, graphs and other figures in their original version, interview forms, approval of the research in the institution’s research ethics board, etc. In line with Open Science practices, we ask that manuscripts using databases be deposited in open access data repositories, such as SciELO Data, explaining this information in the cover letter. Database is considered as any material that is relevant to the replication of the research. For example:
The data must be shared in data repositories at the time of submission (we recommend SciELO Data: https://data.scielo.org/dataverse/brrdgv |
