Locus: Revista de História is a journal with more than twenty years of experience in the dissemination and production of historical knowledge. Linked to the Department and Graduate Program in History at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), the journal receives articles and reviews in a continuous flow and according to the dossiers proposed and coordinated by recognized researchers in the area.

All suggested contributions will be submitted to the evaluation of reputable and external reviewers unrelated to the editorial team of the journal and the publishing institution, with the approval of the text being subject to its judgment. In the event that the reviewers suggest changes, the publication will be subject to them. When submitting the proposal, the author is responsible for the originality of the text, the accuracy of the data presented and the opinions contained therein. In case of verification of plagiarism or non-originality of the material, the journal reserves the right to disregard the proposal. The average time from submission to final decision is 90 days

Proposals must be submitted without any identification of the authors. Identification will be carried out internally through the completed registration on the registration page before sending the text. To avoid recognition of authorship, direct and personal references to the authors or their previous works should be avoided. In Microsoft Office documents, the identification must be removed from the document properties in the File menu > Properties > Related people or in File > Save as > Authors. For Mac files, deletion should be done in Mac Options > Security Options ... > Delete personal file information when saving > OK > Save.

The authors of proposals must have a minimum doctoral degree. For reviews, the authors must have at least the title of master. Failure to verify this condition will result in automatic disapproval of the text. If there is more than one author, the editors will be informed, through a supplementary document, what contribution each one made to the text, from research to final writing, with a limit of three authors. The publication of advisors with their students is not allowed.

Locus: Revista de História does not charge a submission fee, nor does it charge an article processing fee (APC). The author who publishes on Locus needs to wait for at least 6 editions (3 years) before publishing again in the magazine. Any and all submissions must also be guided by the following technical standards, under penalty of disregarding the proposal.

Locus is based on the Chicago Style Manual: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html

Compliance with Chicago standards for publication is a mandatory condition for receiving the work. It is recommended that the text be previously sent to a technical reviewer, specialized in the language.
