Dossier Submission
PROCEDURES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF A THEMATIC DOSSIER PROPOSAL
Approved on August 30, 2021.
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION
1) The proposal must strengthen institutional links with reciprocity.
2) The proposal must reflect the debate of themes strongly linked to the proposers' production.
3) At least one pair: one proponent from the PPGLL and one external proponent.
4) No more than three proponents.
5) It is prioritized that at least one external proponent must be linked to a foreign institution.
6) The external proponent must have a proven partnership and joint work with the proponent from the PPGLL.
7) The proposal must include some line of research from the PPGLL.
8) There will be only one dossier per volume, with rotation by area and research line of the Program.
9) There must also be a rotation of proponents, barring repetition of proponents in dossiers for at least FIVE YEARS.
10) The proposal must provide for a public and open call, at least one year in advance.
11) The Editorial Committee is responsible for submitting the dossier to the PPGLL coordination. PPGLL professors and partner programs can suggest themes and the Commission will analyze the feasibility (thematic interest, board of evaluators, etc.) and the meeting of the criteria.
COMMITMENTS OF APPROVED PROPOSALS
1) For ethical reasons, editors do not publish authorial articles in dossiers. We only recommend the presentation, in co-authorship, between editors, presenting the theme and the articles, without generating a DOI. Any different proposal for the presentation must be discussed with the editorial team in advance.
2) All articles submitted to the proposed dossier are normally evaluated by at least 2 (two) reviewers, following all the guidelines expressed on the journal's website.
3) People involved in dossier editing need to indicate reviewers, in addition to inviting some of the editorial board of the journal itself.
4) The slowest and most unpredictable stage is the evaluation stage, in which the editor is central. Proponents must be available for active work from the moment of the first dossier submission until the final publication of the last article.
5) All processing is done within the OJS system, including assignment of reviewers and dialogue with the Management of the magazines, which does the reviewing and formatting. This digital processing is fundamental to the transparency and fairness of the blind peer review process and, therefore, it is consulted by indexers and by the UFG magazine Management itself. Therefore, proponents must be available to learn how to deal with the submission processing system, the OJS.
6) An average rejection of 50% of submissions is expected, with the possibility of reaching 80%. This rate is indicative of the journal's high selectivity, publishing only the best articles. The editors of the dossier must be very careful when reading the opinions and follow the indications for modifications only if they are feasible to be rewritten in a timely manner. Opinions that indicate substantial modifications correspond to rejections.
7) After final acceptance with all the necessary modifications, the review, editing, and final publication process takes an average of 3 months, therefore all articles to be published in a year must have a final decision (with all final modifications eventually indicated in the opinions provided) no later than September 1st of the year in which publication will occur.
