About the Journal
History
The Pesquisa e Debate em Educação (PDE) journal, e-ISSN 2237-9444, is a scientific journal published every six months (two annual editions) since 2011. PDE is linked to the Professional Postgraduate Program in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (Programa de Pós-Graduação Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública - PPGP), of the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education (Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação - CAEd), of the Faculty of Education (Faculdade de Educação - FACED), of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora - UFJF). PDE was made available in print and digital versions up to v. 5, no. 1 (2015), ISSN 2237-9436. From this volume on, PDE has been published only in an electronic version. Further editions may be published in a printed version in addition to the electronic one (as is the case of v. 10, n. 1 [2020]).
Currently, all editions of the journal are already available on this UFJF Journal Portal. The previous website (http://www.revistappgp.caedufjf.net/) has been disabled.
From v. 11, no. 1 (2021), the journal has been published in continuous flow. The continuous flow publication model is characterized by agility in publishing articles. Once the articles are approved and laid out, they are published immediately, and it is not necessary to complete an issue with all the articles published.
Focus and Scope
The Pesquisa e Debate em Educação journal is a continuous flow publication, linked to the PPGP/CAEd/FACED/UFJF, which aims to be a publication recognized in the area, with wide circulation in the academic-scientific community, through free online access.
The journal's readership comprises professionals in the Education, Teaching and related fields, researchers, undergraduate students, graduate students, professors and other interested parties. The journal contributes to the internal dialogue of the academic community, enabling debates on significant and contemporary theoretical issues.
The journal currently accepts for publication only unpublished/original articles that have not been published in other journals. Articles are submitted in continuous flow. Papers in Portuguese, Spanish and English will be accepted for evaluation.
A minimum of 24 articles will be published per year with an institutional and regional diversity of their authors - 80% of the articles must be linked to at least four institutions different from UFJF, preferably from different regions of Brazil. In general, all articles will dialogue with the PPGP lines of research, in particular, management and evaluation of public education.
The articles, which are a priority in this journal, are theoretical studies resulting from research, as well as intervention articles that result from the analysis of recent situations, with a more essayistic profile and proposals for criticism and discussion on educational issues. The Content of signed works is the sole responsibility of their authors.
Articles with a maximum of five authors will be accepted. The minimum degree for authors is a master's degree. It should be noted that articles that have undergraduate, graduate and master's students as co-authors will be accepted, as long as there is, among the authors, a master or a doctor.
Sections
The Pesquisa e Debate em Educação (PDE) journal currently has one section for the submission of papers.
The regular section publishes academic articles related to Brazilian educational management and assessment and related topics, expanding and connecting the professional outlook of its target audience: public education managers. Articles linked to communication and professional development are also accepted, with the aim of making the professional development dimension of Brazilian educational managers visible, as well as establishing a continuous exchange of information and successful experiences between these actors.
The RPDE proposes training and direct dialogue with its target audience and those interested in the area, being open to the publication of articles, experience reports, opinion texts and reviews concerning its publication notices.
Peer Review Process (Blind peer-review)
All papers submitted to the journal will be subjected for editorial review. Initially, the texts are evaluated for originality (being submitted to anti-plagiarism software [since 2021, all journals linked to the UFJF Journal Portal started to use iThenticate: Plagiarism Detection Software]) and for adequacy to the scope and form of the journal.
Afterwards, the articles are peer-reviewed, usually in a double-blind evaluation format, by at least two reviewers, who hold a PhD degree or are associate professors. If the editor receives conflicting reviews, the article will be sent to a third reviewer, prior to the final decision of the editor-in-chief (or the associate or guest editors). If the article is already published in preprint format, a single-blind peer review is adopted.
In exceptional cases, articles will be evaluated/reviewed by the editorial team.
