Guidelines for Special Issue

The Herança Journal accepted applications for editing Special Issues (SN).

  1. THE PROCESS

The process of creating a Special Number (SN) starts with the application.

The submission of the SN is made by the Scientific Coordinator of the Event (SCE) or equivalent.

The Editor-in-Chief, the Deputy Editor and/or the Scientific Council (SC) evaluate the applications received based on the following selection criteria:

  • Relevance of the theme;
  • Scientific quality of each proposed article;
  • Consistency of the set of proposed articles and the contribution of the theme to the advancement of science;
  • Research of the authors in the thematic area of the number (academic degree and affiliation);
  • To ensure that the SN are sufficiently comprehensive for the participation of specialists from different areas and / or backgrounds, it is recommended that the authors / participants with the same affiliation do not exceed 1/3 of the total number of the authors of the SN; non-compliance with this condition is a possible exclusion factor from the application.

The decision to accept the SN rests with the Editor-in-Chief, the Deputy Editor and/or the SC of Herança Journal.

The Scientific Coordinator of the Event (SCE) or equivalent is responsible for the scientific quality and guarantee of the review of the manuscripts by the Scientific Council of the Event or equivalent, before submission to Revista Herança. The SCE / equivalent of the approved SN signs the Identification Form for Special Numbers (IFSN).
