INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
SCOPE AND EDITORIAL 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. 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 accepts the following types of contributions in
Portuguese and English:
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
b. Interviews
c. Notes of research with photography
d. Bibliographical accounts of themes and issues of social sciences
3) Bibliographical reviews (up to 1,600 words)
The suitability of papers for publication will be 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,
as well as scrutinized by ad hoc reviewers in relation to their content and
academic quality. Contributions may be submitted in foreign language
provided that the author is responsible for translating it into Portuguese.
Financial support may exceptionally be granted.
All papers undergo double-blind refereeing: articles are sent to two
referees and, in case of divergent recommendations, a third review is
requested. Should any conflict of interest be identified, the manuscript
will be sent to another referee. 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.
Sociologia & Antropologia will deliver a decision letter about the paper within
approximately six months.
The journal adopts the principles contained at Code of Ethics of
Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (http://www.publicationethics.
