Information For Authors
Basic information
Revista Intercom publishes articles resulting from research, critical book reviews and interviews that make a scientific contribution to the field. Texts are received for the Articles, Arena, Interviews, Reviews and Preprints sections and must strictly observe the rules described below.
- Articles: a fixed section for analytical or review texts resulting from original theoretical or field research on topics in the field of Social Communication. They should contain a presentation and analysis of the results and an introduction explaining the research strategy and methodology used. Priority will be given to texts that are actually the result of research and that show scientific discovery and/or methodological and conceptual invention.
- Arena: a flexible section for publishing texts on controversial and/or emerging themes, reports on experiences and preliminary research notes. The texts may contain reflections with more formal freedom).
- Interviews: This is a fixed section for testimonies from researchers with a recognized academic career who have made a significant contribution to advances in research in the field of Communication and/or related areas.
- Reviews: a fixed section containing the registration and review of recently published books.
With regard to Preprints, it is important to point out that Revista Intercom does not consider that the publication of articles in preprint repositories detracts from the originality of the article submitted. Revista Intercom is attentive to updates to the principles of Open Science and, in this sense, foresees that articles published in preprint repositories can be submitted to the journal, without detriment to their originality.
Originality
Collaborations must be the result of original and unpublished research. Authors are asked to submit only manuscripts that have not been simultaneously submitted for publication in another journal. Texts previously published in proceedings of events, journals, books or repositories, regardless of language, will be automatically rejected during the initial evaluation stage.
Language
Revista Intercom publishes all its articles in a bilingual version: in the original language (Portuguese or Spanish) and the English version. Optionally, approved articles may also be published in all three languages. Translation costs in any language will be the responsibility of the authors, and the journal will review them.
Articles in other languages can be submitted for evaluation and, if approved, will be published with a translation into Portuguese or Spanish, which is also the responsibility of the authors.
