Instructions for contributors
| Ciência & Saúde Coletiva publishes debates, analyses and research findings on specific themes considered to be of relevance to public health, as well as articles for discussion and analysis of the state of the art topics in the area and subareas, even if they are not directly related to the core theme under scrutiny. The journal is published monthly and sets out to tackle the challenges while seeking to consolidate and promote an ongoing update of trends of thought and practices in public health in a dialogue with the contemporary agenda of Science & Technology. Open Access Policy - Ciência & Saúde Coletiva is published under the Open Access model and is therefore free for anybody to read and download, and to copy and disseminate for educational purposes. The Ciência & Saúde Coletiva Journal accepts articles in preprints of nationally and internationally recognized databases. When submitting your article, you should be aware of what a preprint is and how you should introduce yourself to this first stage of Open Science. The preprint makes articles and other scientific communications available immediately or in parallel with their evaluation and validation by the journals. This procedure accelerates the communication of research results, guarantees intellectual authorship, and allows authors to receive comments that improve their work before submitting it to any journal. While the article may remain only in the preprint repository (if authors do not want to submit it to a journal), the journals continue to exercise the fundamental functions of validating, preserving, and disseminating research. Therefore: (1) You can submit your article now to the SciELO preprints server (https://preprints.scielo.org) or another trusted server. In this case, it will be evaluated by a team of specialists from these servers to verify whether the manuscript follows the essential criteria regarding text structure and types of documents. If approved, it will receive a doi that guarantees his immediate international dissemination. (2) Concomitantly, should you wish so, you can submit it to Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. Both processes are compatible. (3) You could choose to submit the article only to Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. Submission to the preprint repository is not mandatory. |
Guidelines for the organization of thematic issues
| Within the diversity of magazines in the area, the hallmark of Ciência & Saúde Coletiva Journal is its thematic focus in line with ABRASCO’s vocation to conduct in-depth study, as well as promote and disseminate academic debate and peer discussions on issues considered important and relevant and highlight the historical development of public health in Brazil. The thematic editions are scheduled around four modes of submission:
The Term of Reference shall contain: (1) title (even provisional) of the proposed thematic edition; (2) the name (or names) of the Guest Editor(s); (3) justification summarized in one or two paragraphs on the proposal from the point of view of the objectives, context, meaning and relevance for Public Health; (4) a list of the ten proposed articles already with the names of the invited authors; (5) the proposal with the text consisting of an opinion or interview with someone who has authority in the discussion of the subject; and (6) proposal of one or two synopses of books that address the theme. By editorial decision, the maximum number of articles written by the same author in a thematic edition shall not exceed three, either as first author or co-author. It is emphatically suggested to the organizers that they submit contributions by authors from various national institutions and from foreign contributors. As for any other form of presentation, these editions accept texts in Spanish, English and French. |
Recommendations for the submission of articles
| Notes on Editorial Policy The Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva reaffirms its mission of publishing original articles, which bring novelty and provide advancement in Collective Health knowledge. Any text that falls within this scope is and will always be welcome, within the criteria described below:
Important note - Given the exponential increase in the Journal’s demand (which in 2020 exceeded 4,000 original works), all articles undergo an initial screening, carried out by the Editors-in-Chief. Their decision on whether to accept it or not is based on the priorities mentioned and the merit of the manuscript regarding originality, pertinence of statistical or qualitative analysis, adequacy of methods, and rich interpretation of the discussion. Only a small proportion of the originals are currently forwarded to reviewers and receive a detailed opinion considering these criteria. C&SC journal adopts the "Rules for submission of proposed articles for publication in medical journals," of the International Committee of Editors of Medical Journals, the Portuguese version of which is published in Rev Port Clin Geral 1997; 14:159-174. The document is available on various sites on the World Wide Web, such as by way of example, www.icmje.org or www.apmcg.pt/document/71479/450062.pdf. Careful scrutiny of the text by the authors is recommended. Sections of the publication Editorial: this is the responsibility of the editors-in-chief or guest editors and it shall contain no more than 4,000 characters with spaces. Thematic Articles: these shall contain empirical, experimental and conceptual results of research and reviews on the topic in question. The research texts shall not exceed 40,000 characters with spaces. Free Themed Articles: these shall be of interest to public health by free submission of authors through the journal page. They shall have the same characteristics as the thematic articles, namely up to 40,000 characters with spaces, with the results of research and present analyses and assessments of theoretical, methodological and conceptual trends of the area. Review Articles: these shall consist of texts exclusively based on secondary sources, subjected to methods of theoretically time-honored thematic or unsolicited analysis, being no longer than 45,000 characters with spaces. Opinion: texts that express a qualified position of one or several authors or interviews conducted with specialists on the subject under discussion in the journal; they shall not exceed 20,000 characters with spaces. Synopses: critical analysis of books related to the thematic field of public health, published in the previous two years, the text of which shall not exceed 10,000 characters including spaces. The authors of the synopsis shall include the full reference details of the book at the beginning of the text. References cited throughout the text shall abide by the same rules as the articles. At the time of submission of the synopsis the authors shall insert a high resolution reproduction of the book cover in jpeg format as an attachment in the system. Letters: with testimonials and suggestions about what is published in previous issues of the journal (no more than 4,000 characters with spaces). Note: The maximum character limit takes into account spaces and extends from the word "introduction" to the last bibliographic reference. The abstract and illustrations (figures and tables) are considered separately. |
