Peer Review Process

 

DOUBLE BLIND PEER REVIEW
Many factors are taken into account when evaluating of the manuscripts. These include the following: 1) analysis of the adequacy criteria and standards for publication in the Journal Perspectiva Teológica, carried out by the deputy editor. Papers that are not accepted are those that do not present: a) the author and/or co-author with a doctor degree required by a QUALIS A1 journal (except for book reviews which can be written by doctoral students and doctors); b) the standard format of a scientific paper: abstract, key words, introduction, conclusion, references. 2) Preliminary evaluation by the Editorial Board. In this phase, the article is subjected to a plagiarism check application that protects the International Laws of authors” rights and their registration mark, assessment of the relevance, methodological and scientific quality of the text. 3) The papers that successfully pass the preliminary evaluation are then subject to the process of double blind review. The articles are sent, without identifying the author, to two ad hoc reviewers selected among the top scholars in the field from different states or from abroad. The LATTES platform was used to select the referees and subject areas. The reviewer”s opinion will take into consideration the theoretical-critical and methodological dimensions of the text, as well as the contribution of the production, innovation and diffusion of knowledge. The evaluation should be concluded in 30 days. Conflicts between evaluative positions will be resolved by other reviewers and / or members of the Editorial Board. The final decision on any conflict and on the publication of the manuscript is reserved for the Editorial Commission (Director, Editor, Deputy Editor) that will take into account the entire evaluation process and the code of conduct for editorial standards. 4) The conclusion of the evaluation process: the article, once accepted for publication and approved by the author, is then prepared for printing.
After such corrections, the manuscript will be resent to author for the final verification. The entire process between the submission of the article and the final approval could prolong up to four full months.
If any author gives up the evaluation process after the acceptance of her/his article with or without obligatory corrections and then after some months s/he resumes the process, in this case, the text/article will proceed to a new evaluation.

Misconduct identification process, erratum/retraction

The following procedures are used to correct ethical problems related to the article and/or other Journal document:

In cases of plagiarism

Following the guidelines of the COPE, when the Editor and/or the reviewer who evaluated the article sees proof of (important) duplicate or redundant publication, the author is asked to provide clarification. In the case of guilt and/or unintentional error, due to lack of clarity of the Instructions to Authors, or inexperience of the author, the article is refused with due explanation of the journal's stance and the behavior expected in the future. If there is no response from the author, the Editor can contact the Institution where they work, informing their superiors of the decision taken by the editorial team. The reviewers are also notified of the decision. In cases of minor textual similarity, the author is asked to reference the original works or to eliminate the similarity. Then, the evaluation continues. Information available at: https://publicationethics.org/files/All_Flowcharts_Spanish_0.pdf.

For the test of textual similarity, the Team adopts the software iThenticate Plagiarism Detection; AntiPlagiarist.

Publication of Errata

According to SciELO instructions, when errors are found in the article or other published document that do not invalidate it, the Editor will make an erratum informing the corrections and/or inclusions of parts of the document. The online version of the journal brings the correction date and the link to the printed erratum. The text must contain: the DOI number of the document that has an error, and other information at the discretion of the Editor, with the url link of the article with the error.

(http://www.scielo.org/local/File/Guia_para_o_registro_e_publicacao_de_Errata.pdf).

Retraction

When a problem has been identified in an article published in the journal, based on the SciELO model, "Guide to the registration and publication of retraction" (https://wp.scielo.org/wp-content/uploads/guia_retratacao.pdf), it is necessary to proceed with the registration and publication of retraction. The text to be retracted must be presented by those responsible, with the justifications, containing the basic data (title, author, affiliation and abstract). It will not be “deleted from the journal where it was originally published”. However, the expression “Retracted Article” will be written in the summary. The PDF of the article will have watermark stripes with the expression “Retracted Article”. This process is monitored by the Editorial Team, the Editorial Committee and the validation of some members of the Editorial Board.

Plagiarism

The application for verification of plagiarism used by the journal, which is protected by international copyright and trademark registration laws, is the iThenticate Plagiarism Detection Software.

COVER DESIGN

Cover (logo): the background, one of the elements of the logo of the Society of Jesus, shows the interconnection of a universal apostolic body. The signs appearing on top of the background, four arrows at different angles converging at the center of the figure, form a cross and convey the mission of the journal to be open to ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, as well as to other fields of science that contribute to the service of faith and the commitment to justice. The title Perspectiva Teológica, written in burgundy letters, expresses one of the values of the Society of Jesus – "tradition".

HISTORY

The journal is published by the Graduate Theology Department of the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy and Theology (PPGT-FAJE, Belo Horizonte). The printed version (ISSN 0102-4469) has been published regularly and uninterruptedly since 1969, existing, therefore, for 53 years. Since 2008, the journal has also been published in electronic form (ISSN 21768757), and all of its issues are fully available. “The didactic character of the fifty-year history of the Perspectiva Teológica can be divided into 3 phases. The first phase dates from its creation in 1969, when the College of Theology Cristo Rei, of São Leopoldo (RS), completed its twentieth anniversary as a college and joined the then newly-created University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos. The second phase began in 1982, when the College of Theology was installed in Belo Horizonte”. In that year, it received its new cover (2^nd). The third phase gained new impetus in the 1990s, with the uninterrupted search for quality, listing in databases, bibliographies, directories, indexes, and with the improvement of technical issues (3^rd cover). (Cf.: SUREKI, L. C. “Theological Perspective”: 50 years of theological reflection and ecclesial commitment. Perspectiva Teológica, Belo Horizonte, v. 51, n. 3, p. 15-43, Sep./Dec. 2019.
