Basic information
The journal Sociologia & Antropologia is published online three times a year by the Graduate Program in Sociology and Anthropology (PPGSA) at the Institute of Philosophy and Social Sciences (IFCS) of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Sociologia & Antropologia’s aim is to disseminate, expand and enhance sociological and anthropological knowledge in different thematic fields, encouraging a diversity of theoretical approaches. Like PPGSA, the Journal acknowledges the contemporary demands for specialization; but it seeks to promote dialogue beyond narrowly defined academic boundaries by means of productive exchanges between the distinct theoretical traditions that configure the disciplines of sociology and anthropology. Sociologia & Antropologia therefore promotes interchanges between sociological and anthropological approaches that are simultaneously critical and informed by mutual understanding. It stimulates dynamic communication and debate on key theoretical, empirical, historical and analytic themes. The Journal recognizes the multiplicity of theoretical paradigms that permeates social knowledge, and favours the opportunities for the exchange of convergent and divergent points of views in these different fields of knowledge. This is precisely the idea expressed by the symbol ‘&’ that interconnects the two disciplines in the title of the Journal. Sociologia & Antropologia aims to present, disseminate and debate original research that provides insight into the sociocultural processes in Brazil and abroad. The Journal is open to the collaboration of specialists from universities and research institutions, and will publish new and original work in Portuguese and English. Sociologia & Antropologia’s ambition, in sum, is to become an outlet for consistent inquiry into topics relevant to contemporary debate in the social sciences, contributing to their development. Its abbreviated title is Sociol. Antropol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips. |

Scope and policy
Sociologia & Antropologia’s aim is to disseminate, expand and enhance sociological and anthropological knowledge in different thematic fields, encouraging a diversity of theoretical approaches by means of productive exchanges between the distinct theoretical traditions that configure the disciplines of sociology and anthropology. Sociologia & Antropologia therefore promotes interchanges between sociological and anthropological approaches that are simultaneously critical and informed by mutual understanding. It stimulates dynamic communication and debate on key theoretical, empirical, historical and analytic themes. The Journal recognizes the multiplicity of theoretical paradigms that permeates social knowledge, and favours the opportunities for the exchange of convergent and divergent points of views in these different fields of knowledge. This is precisely the idea expressed by the symbol ‘&’ that interconnects the two disciplines in the title of the Journal. Sociologia & Antropologia accepts the following types of contributions: 1) Original articles (up to 9,000 words, including bibliographical references and footnotes) 2) Research registers (up to 4,400 words). This section is comprised of
a. Presentation of sources and documents of research regarding the history of social sciences 3) Bibliographical reviews (up to 1,600 words) 4) Interviews Manuscripts may be submitted in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish, however they will be published only in Portuguese and English. If necessary, the author will be responsible for their translation. Financial support may exceptionally be granted. The suitability of papers for publication will be first assessed by the Editorial Committee as to whether they meet the scientific and editorial standards of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal; if approved, they will then be scrutinized by ad hoc reviewers based in Brazil or abroad – always PhD holders with proven expertise in the subject of the article – in relation to their content and academic quality. All papers undergo double-blind refereeing: articles are sent to two referees and, in case of divergent recommendations, a third review is requested. Articles will be evaluated according to the criteria of quality and accuracy of the arguments, validity of the presented data, timeliness and relevance of the article to the discussion of problems in the area of research, and the adequacy and contemporaneity of the references. The editorial staff requires all authors and reviewers to declare possible conflicts of interest with regard to manuscripts submitted to Sociologia & Antropologia. Conflict of interest is understood as any type of commercial, financial or personal interest in the data or issues of the study by one or more authors, leading to potential conflicts among the parties involved. Conflicts of interest can influence the results and conclusions of a study as well as the review process. The existence of conflicts of interest does not impede the submission of a paper or its publication in the journal. However, the authors need to explain the reason for the conflict to the editors, which shall make a final decision. Sociologia & Antropologia will deliver a decision letter about the paper within approximately six months. The author will be informed of one of the following decisions: (a) Accepted for publication with no changes to the content; (b) Accepted after minor revision; (c) Reformulate and submit to new evaluation; or (d) Rejected. Authors must present a revised version of a manuscript accepted for publication tracking all changes made to the text. Authors must duly justify any requirements and recommendations made by the reviewers that has not been heeded. The journal adopts the principles contained at Code of Ethics of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), of the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, and of the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo. |
