Information For Readers

#Tear: Journal of Education, Science and Technology encourages scientific-academic production on education and its relations with science and technology through the dialogue between different fields of knowledge. The journal accepts original unpublished manuscripts in compliance with its purpose.

The journal has a semestral workflow. Manuscripts submitted from April to August will be reviewed from September and, if accepted, published in the December edition. Manuscripts submitted from September to March will be reviewed from April and, if accepted, published in the July edition. #Tear does not work with pre-selected papers as all the manuscripts are submitted to double blind peer-reviewing.

The editorial process is biannual and consists of the following steps: a) pre-evaluation by the Editorial Board; b) blind peer review (with at least two ad hoc referees); c) communication with the authors about the editorial decision (Accepted, mandatory corrections, rejection); d) period of suitability of the papers and resubmission of the text corrected/ adjusted by the authors; e) re-evaluation of the papers by the section editors; f) editing/editing process of the papers  approved for publication; g) publication.

Texts must be written either in Portuguese, English and/or Spanish. Manuscripts should be submitted for double-blind review in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice or RTF format, WITHOUT any identification of the authors. Only accepted manuscripts will have their author's details asked to be included.

For manuscripts involving research with human beings, it is a requirement that authors mention in the file, as a footnote, that the work has previously been submitted to a Research Ethics Committee. For texts with imagens and/or real names stated in there should be in the file, as a footnote, some information mentioning that the participants authorised their pictures/images to names to be revealed. The publication of research involving human subjects, human material, or human data (e.g. personal details/images), as well as the opinions and statements contained in the papers are entirely the responsibility of the authors.
