Fast evaluation and anticipation of publication

Fast evaluation is a condition that Scientific Electronic Archives offers to authors who need agility in the article evaluation and publication process. This incentive consists of prioritizing the evaluation of the article and its immediate inclusion in the current edition, eliminating the need to wait in the publication queue. We ask for close attention to the syntax, cohesion and spelling of the article writing, as well as using the template available in the submissions link. Authors who indicate this need may be charged a processing fee of R$ 150.00 (one hundred and fifty reais).

Journal history

Scientific Electronic Archives is a peer-reviewed journal created by Prof. Dr. Rodolfo C. Araujo Berber in November 2012. Since its inception, the journal has aimed to publish scientific articles in various areas of knowledge, supporting researchers regardless of their financial resources for publications.

With a multi-institutional and multidisciplinary approach, the editorial team has always been composed of researchers of scientific relevance in their areas of knowledge, including internationally renowned names. The journal is currently registered in several search engines and has a significant number of accesses and citations. At the same time, we are continually working to receive more international contributions, as well as to increase the number of views of our articles, which ensure good editorial practice and scientific quality.

We recently received the editorial quality seals from FAO/AGRIS and Miguelim. In this sense, we encourage authors and readers to access the journal's available links, and we are also available to answer questions and help with the article submission process.

 

Good scientific practices

Scientific Electronic Archives works with measures to identify and prevent the publication of documents where research misconduct has occurred. If a violation of good scientific practices is detected, the authors will be notified and given full defense. During the investigation process, the article is made unavailable to the public until it is proven that there was no violation.
In cases of need for corrections or retractions, Scientific Electronic Archives assumes the responsibility to generate a wide notification through the tools available on the OJS platform.
