Caderno CRH
Brief Background
|
CADERNO CRH is a journal in the field of Social Sciences that welcomes original manuscripts of recognized academic interest in the form of articles, bibliographical essays, and critical reviews. The journal is organized and edited by the Centre for Studies and Research in the Humanities (CRH/UFBA), and it is co-publicated with the Federal University of Bahia Press (EDUFBA). Since 2020, in its 33rd volume, we began publishing texts continuously, exclusively online, with a single annual volume. Each volume has three thematic dossiers, chosen through a public call, and organized by authors who stand out in their field os research. The articles that make up the dossiers represent significant contributions to the scientific debate in the Humanities. Their evaluation process follows the same pattern as the manuscripts submitted on free demand. In addition to the thematic dossiers, each volume also includes freely submitted articles and critical reviews that are not necessarily related to the theme of the dossiers. The Center for Studies and Research in the Humanities (CRH) is a complementary body of the Faculty of Philosophy and Human Sciences of the Federal University of Bahia, with an interdisciplinary nature, focused on research, teaching, and university extension in the various areas of the Social Sciences. Founded in 1969 with the aim of critically thinking about the nature and character of Brazilian development and its regional specificities and heterogeneities, the Centre brings together researchers linked to various postgraduate courses and programs, mostly from the Federal University of Bahia. CRH researchers actively contribute to the functioning of the journal, making up its Editorial Board and participating in improving our editorial policies. In 2004, Caderno CRH was consolidated as a national journal, published every four months. Its reach and credibility can be attested to by the support it has received from funding agencies and UFBA's Graduate Programs, as well as the significant demand for contributions from the national and international academic community in the field of Social Sciences. Each year the number of proposals for dossiers, articles, and critical reviews submitted for evaluation has grown. The proposals take into account the enormous thematic and regional diversity of our field. In this respect, CADERNO CRH transcends institutional frameworks, opening itself up to a network of national and foreign collaborators, guaranteeing the regular process of evaluation and publication standards supported by a body of reviewers committed to advancing the scientific debate. Its abbreviated title is Cad. CRH, which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, and bibliographical references and strips. |
Open Science Compliance
|
Caderno CRH is explicitly committed to the principles of Open Science research communication. We believe that this practice encourages cooperation between peers and between peers and society, makes evaluation procedures transparent, and encourages the sharing of research data. These are the founding elements of good scientific production and contribute to preserving the theoretical and methodological rigor, ethics, and quality of publication. The journal follows the Gold Open Access model, allowing permanent and open access to all published manuscripts. Articles are published continuously. We welcome pre-published articles on reliable servers, as long as the authors indicate this. Always taking their authorization into account, we publish articles that have already been approved but are still in the final editing process, on the SciELO Prepint server. We believe that this policy speeds up the process of communicating scientific production and allows it to be improved through the contribution of the academic community. To carry out an informed peer review, following the principles of Open Science, we encourage authors and reviewers to reveal their identities throughout the process of analyzing the articles. We also offer the possibility of publishing the evaluations on which the editorial decision was based. In this case, the editors' participation will be credited when the manuscript is published. We strongly encourage research data to be made available on reliable open servers. This includes, where appropriate, the codes, methods, and other materials used and/or resulting from the research underlying the text. From January 2025, the researchers involved will be required, except in justified cases, to make the underlying data available. Authors must declare their agreement with the criteria listed above by completing the Open Science Compliance Form, available on the journal's website when submitting articles. |
Ethics in Publication
|
Caderno CRH adopts the principles included in the Codes of Ethics of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), and the SciELO Platform. All authors who wish to submit proposals for dossiers, articles, and critical reviews to the journal declare that they are aware of and comply with these principles. Authorship of a manuscript implies recognition and credit to the authors and, at the same time, indicates responsibility for the published content. This journal uses the Turnitin system to detect plagiarism and check the originality of manuscripts submitted for evaluation. In order to promote the democratization of knowledge, a fundamental ethical choice, Caderno CRH is committed to the principles of DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) in scientific research. |
Focus and Scope
|
Caderno CRH began publication in the 1980s as a “Working Document” (issues 01-11), with texts that reported the results of research carried out by the Center's members and collaborators. From issue 12 (1989, published in 1990), it became a biannual scientific journal (1990 to 2003), adopting the double-blind peer review. In the following years, the journal underwent important transformations, namely: from issue 12 to issue 19, it was published in partnership with Editora Fator and the Centro Editorial Didático of UFBA; from issue 15 (1991), it began to publish original texts by national and foreign authors, with translations into Portuguese, except for texts in Spanish; in 1995, it received recognition from the national development area, with the support of the CNPq/CAPES publishing program. In 1996, a thematic section (dossier) was introduced and the journal was opened up to free submissions from the external community. As of 2004, the journal was published every four months and was recognized and classified in the Qualis-CAPES system, in the area of Sociology, as a National A journal. Soon afterward, all the articles in print were also made available in electronic format (online), via the Electronic Journal Publishing System (SEER), later known as Open Journal Systems (OJS). Since 1994, Caderno CRH has been indexed in important international and national indexers, such as Sociological Abstract and DataIndice, and, in 2006, in Citas Latinoamericanas en Sociologia y Economia (CLASE). In 2009, it joined the SciELO Collection and the SCOPUS database. In 2014, it joined the Redalyc-Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal platform, making available all articles published since 2005. In 2020, given the recommendations of the indexers and the best national and international examples, we decided to adopt the continuous publication format, also becoming exclusively electronic. Since then, manuscripts have been collected in an annual volume and identified by a unique number. In doing so, we have accelarated the process of communicating research, making the results available for reading and citation. With its continuous publication format, the journal keeps its editorial flow in line with the recommended average number of articles published in the humanities (between 25 and 35). With the authorization of the authors, we publish approved articles in the editing process on the SciELO preprint server. Inclusion in the SciELO and SCOPUS databases in 2009, as well as in Redalyc in 2014, enabled us to count international bibliometric data, which shows a favorable evolution in impact since 2010. With this editorial structure and dissemination strategies, over the years the journal has become an important space for thematic debate, organized around networks of Brazilian and foreign researchers, updating and expanding the agenda of issues in the field of Social Sciences, from a theoretical-empirical, comparative and plural perspective. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the discussions that occupy the pages of Caderno CRH have a significant impact on the agenda of debates in academia and society. |
Digital Preservation
|
This journal follows the standards defined in the SciELO Program's Digital Preservation Policy. Following best practices and the recommendations of indexers and public agencies, we stopped publishing the printed journal in 2020. Caderno CRH is hosted on the UFBA Journal Portal, which uses Open Journal Systems (OJS), managed by the Information Technology Superintendence (STI/UFBA). The entire collection has been digitized, including previous issues, which were printed. The journal is part of IBICT's Cariniana Digital Preservation Services Network, which provides preservation for Open Journal Systems [OJS] journals at several Brazilian universities, including UFBA. |

Preprints
|
Caderno CRH accepts articles previously deposited on reliable preprint servers and asks authors to inform us, using the Open Science Compliance Form, when the manuscripts submitted for evaluation are in this condition. A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready for submission to a journal and which is deposited on servers intended for this purpose before or in parallel with submission to a journal. Preprints share with journals the novelty of the publication of articles and inhibit the use of the double-blind procedure in the evaluation of manuscripts. The use of preprints is a choice of the authors. In agreement with the authors, we can deposit articles accepted for publication, in the process of being edited, on a preprint server. We recommend using the SciELO Preprints server. |
Peer Review Process
|
The flow of manuscripts is as follows: Articles are submitted exclusively through the OJS system. In the first stage, the Editorial Board of Caderno CRH carries out the initial analysis, checking if the manuscript complies with the editorial standards in terms of formatting and the elements requested in the submission rules. At this stage, we check if the complete profile of the authors has been filled out in the OJS system, including the ORCID number. The initial stage assesses whether the article falls within the journal's areas of interest. At this stage, the manuscript can be returned to the author to be adapted to the rules or even rejected for not being suitable for the thematic area of Caderno CRH. In the second stage, the members of the Editorial Council will evaluate the manuscript, taking into account its relevance to the editorial policy and compliance with other editorial rules not covered in the first stage. In this phase, the content of the manuscript is assessed directly. Acceptance or rejection of the article at this stage does not involve issuing a technical opinion and does not imply approval for publication, but it does qualify it for the third stage, peer review; The third stage consists of a merit assessment by two ad hoc reviewers with proven experience in the subject of the manuscript. The result of this stage may be: (a) full acceptance; (b) acceptance subject to modifications indicated by the referees; and (c) a decision not to publish. At this point, we contact the authors to inform the results of the evaluations and, if necessary, indicate the changes determined by the reviewers. Note: In cases where there is a significant divergence between the reviewers' conclusions, the text will be sent to a third reviewer; The journal uses the peer review model, adopting the evaluation form available on the website as a standard. The opinions submitted are analyzed by the Editorial Board for compliance with the publication rules, content, and relevance. After this process, they are sent to the authors with an indication of acceptance, reformulation, or rejection. In the fourth stage, once the article has been reviewed by the authors, it is re-evaluated by the Editorial Board, which checks if the changes took into account the suggestions made by the reviewers, analyzes the structure, content, and form of the manuscript, and may also indicate changes. Note: In cases where the changes indicated by the reviewers were not taken into account, the text may be returned to the authors or sent to a third reviewer. The average time taken to complete the evaluation process is four months from receipt of the manuscripts, depending on the response from the reviewers and the revision carried out by the authors. If the manuscripts pass the fourth stage, they are sent for language revision and standardization. Caderno CRH does not accept additions or modifications from authors once the final composition process has begun. Three forms of peer review are allowed: (1) double-blind peer review, in which the identity of authors and reviewers is anonymous; (2) single-blind peer review, in which only the authors disclose their identity (this is the case, for example, with manuscripts deposited on preprint servers); and (3) open peer review, in which both authors and reviewers open their identity, which allows open interaction between the parties in the evaluation process. In line with the SciELO guidelines, three options are considered for advancing openness. The first is to publish the name or names of the editors responsible for the evaluation in the final article. The second is to offer reviewers the option of dialoguing directly with the authors, with or without opening up their identities. The third is to offer the option of publishing the approval of articles with or without identifying the reviewers. |
Open Data
|
To consolidate Open Science processes, authors are asked to share all content, including data, program code, and other material that underlies the text of the manuscript, before or at the time of publication. Exceptions are allowed in cases of legal and ethical issues. The aim is to facilitate the evaluation of the manuscript and, if approved, to contribute to the preservation and reuse of data and information, as well as to the replicability of research. To share this data, authors can use their institution's repository, as well as identify relevant and certified repositories: List of repositories for research data deposit (portuguese only). . Alternatively, authors can state that the data will be made available on direct request or that all the data is contained and discussed in the body of the text. The repository in which the data and information are found, if applicable, must be cited in the text following the Guidelines for research data citation (portuguese only), preferably in the methodological section, included in the list of references, and the "Availability of Research Data" section. |
Fees
|
Authors will not be charged any fees for submitting, evaluating, and publishing articles. |
Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy
|
Caderno CRH follows the guidelines of national and international organizations that are reference for good practices in ethics for scientific publications. We are guided by the practices of Cope, the Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication , and the Principles of Transparency and Good Practices in Academic Publishing recommended by Cope, Doaj, Oaspa, and Wame. Adopting these guidelines helps the Editorial Board to detect possible fraud and bad publishing practices. By submitting a manuscript for evaluation in Caderno CRH, the authors declare that they respect the ethical guidelines relating to the integrity of scientific activities. If applicable, submission to the research ethics committee of the institution where the research was carried out must be declared. The authors are responsible for observing good research ethics practices. If any relevant errors are identified after the article has been published, the Editor should be informed immediately so that the corresponding errata can be published. We follow the Guide to recording, marking and publishing Correction (portuguese only) and the Guide for registering, marking and publishing a retraction (portuguese only). |
Policy on Conflict of Interest
|
According to the principles of good academic and scientific practice, conflicts of interest can be of a personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial nature. Conflicts of interest can occur when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that can influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. When submitting a manuscript, authors declare their responsibility to recognize and disclose conflicts of interest that may have influenced the preparation of the work. If there is, even potentially, a conflict of interest, the authors must inform this in a document signed on submission. For more information see Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest. Reviewers will also be asked to declare any conflicts of interest that may interfere with the manuscript evaluation process. Depending on the case, the evaluation request will be canceled and the articles will be forwarded to other reviewers. |
Adoption of Similarity Software
|
Caderno CRH uses the Turnitin system, an advanced tool for detecting plagiarism and checking the originality of academic work, made available by the Pro-Rectory for Research and Postgraduate Studies at the Federal University of Bahia. When a significant degree of similarity is detected with previously published work, except in the case of preprint servers and of the same authorship, the authors will be contacted to make adjustments to the manuscript, and the article may be rejected, given the requirement for originality and novelty in our publication policies. |
Adoption of Software Using Artificial Intelligence Resources
|
When using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, we recommend that authors and reviewers carefully read the Guide to the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources in Research Communication on SciELO. The use of AI tools should be limited to issues such as revising language and improving writing. Their use is not recommended for analysis and reflection on the substantive content of manuscripts. Authors must disclose the use of AI when submitting their manuscripts and are fully responsible for the content presented. The journal may use the ZeroGPT system (and others) to detect content generated by artificial intelligence. |
Gender and Sex Issues
|
The Editorial Board of Caderno CRH, as well as the authors who submit manuscripts for evaluation, must comply with the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines. The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines for reporting sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, results, and interpretation of findings. Caderno CRH endeavors to observe gender equity in the formation of its editorial council and in the composition of the issues published. |
Ethics Committee
|
Authors must attach a statement of approval from the ethics committee of the institution responsible for the research in papers that require this assessment. The National Research Ethics Committee (CONEP) document is used as a reference. For researchers from foreign institutions, we suggest consulting the corresponding document or contacting the Editor of Caderno CRH. |

Contact with the journal is exclusively via e-mail: revcrh@ufba.br. |
Types of Documents Accepted
|
The journal Caderno CRH accepts the following types of contributions:
|
Responsibility for Published Content
|
The authors are responsible for the originality and truthfulness of the content presented in the articles, as well as for the revision of the language and its compliance with the ABNT norms. |
Authors' Contribution
|
Caderno CRH uses the CREDiT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) taxonomy structure. All authors must describe their participation in the preparation of the manuscript using the CREDiT form. This information will be included in the “Authors' contributions” section when the article is published. |
Manuscript Preparation
|
It is up to the authors to make sure that the submission is original and unpublished, i.e. the work must not have been previously published and/or submitted simultaneously to another journal; for this, we recommend filling in the Declaration of Originality, available on the Caderno CRH website, which must be signed and digitally attached to the system at the time of submission as an additional document. To ensure the integrity of the double-blind peer review, all possible care must be taken not to reveal the identity of authors and reviewers during the review process, except in cases where an open review is decided upon. This requires authors, editors, and reviewers (who may send documents to the system as part of the evaluation process) to take certain precautions with the text and document properties:
|
Article Submission Format
|
Manuscripts must be subjected to spelling and grammar checks before being submitted to the journal. Articles must contain:
|
Digital Assets
|
Graphs, tables, and images must be inserted in the text and must also be sent separately from the text file, in an editable format in the original file. Images and maps must be of good quality (resolution). Please note that articles must be accompanied by the appropriate copyright authorizations if they include images (photos, maps, graphs) that require this. |
Citations and References
|
Bibliographical citations must comply with ABNT - NBR 10520, including them in the text. E.g. (Martins, 1986). When they appear in quotation marks, the page number should be added, e.g. (Martins, 1986, p. 95). Several documents by the same author with the same dates should be distinguished by adding lowercase letters in alphabetical order (e.g. Martins, 1986a) (Martins, 1996b). Reference to an author's ideas in the text, without transcription, follows the example. E.g.: (Cf. Martins, 1986). Before sending the text, the author must make the citations compatible with the bibliographical references.
