- The journal Reflexão e Ação receives unpublished articles from Brazilian and foreign author(s), who deal with education, resulting from researches, theoretical studies, reflections on practices and polemic discussions. The contribution must be original and new, not being published or being under evaluation in another journal or annals of events.
The manuscripts received by Reflexão e Ação are submitted to the text comparison tool Similiarity Check, distributed by iThenticate. The journal condemns unethical practices and assumes that the authors ensure the originality of the document and explicit the use of information of other author(s) appropriately acknowledged. Consequently, it´s possible that some authors receive some questionings during the evaluation process of the work submitted, referring to possible nonconformities appointed by the tool employed. In the face of inappropriate practices being confirmed, the author(s) involved will receive a rejection notice and the archiving of the work.
Due to the importance in identifying the author(s) with greater accuracy, Reflexão e Ação journal requires that the author(s) include the ORCID in their metadata at the moment they submit the manuscripts. This identifier individualizes the researcher, distinguishing one from the other and at the same time avoiding problems with ambiguities on the entries and spelling of the same name. Another important characteristic is that ORCID is unrestricted and allows the exchange of metadata.
Using an ORCID ID, the researchers are connected with their activities, research results, publications and affiliations.
The ORCID register can be obtained at no charge at the site http://orcid.org.
