Author Guidelines
1 OPEN ACCESS, SCOPE AND SECTIONS
Before submitting an article to Movimento, authors should read the information/descriptions about the journal’s scope and sections.
1.1 Open access journal
Movimento provides open and immediate access to its content, following the principle that freely available scientific knowledge allows for more democratization of knowledge worldwide. Such access is associated with an increase in the number of readers and citations of authors’ works. For more information on this approach, visit the Public Knowledge Project, which has developed this system to improve academic and public quality of research and distributes the Open Journal Systems (OJS), as well as other software programs to support the publishing system with public access to academic sources.
1.2 Scope
Movimento is an open access journal published by the School of Physical Education, Physiotherapy and Dance of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It aims to disseminate Brazilian and international scientific production on topics related to Physical Education, with regard to their pedagogical, historical, political, and cultural aspects.
Therefore, the journal receives, reviews, and publishes manuscripts debating the phenomena and topics investigated, having the Human and Social Sciences as their theoretical, methodological, analytical, and interpretative foundations.
The journal accepts original manuscripts in Portuguese, Spanish, English, or French.
1.3 Sections
Movimento consists of the following sections:
Focus: This section is dedicated to debates around internationally relevant topics induced by the Editorial Board or formally proposed by researchers in the area. Once the section proposal has been defined/approved, a guest editor will be designated to coordinate the manuscript’s review process according to criteria and rules set by Movimento. Each section will have a maximum of eight manuscripts by authors linked mostly to foreign institutions. The texts must be published in English and, simultaneously, in Portuguese or in one of the other two languages accepted by Movimento, i.e., Spanish and French.
Controversial Issues: In this section, Movimento proposes a permanent dialogue with its scientific community, providing opportunities to update current debates and inducing reflections on its specific knowledge area. The Editorial Board reserves itself the right to invite authors to publish their work in this section and encourages participation by others who may wish to take part in the debates. Similarly to the Focus section, these articles will be selected by the Editorial Board.
Original Articles: This section includes works resulting from scientific research presenting original data and findings related to experimental and/or observational aspects of philosophical, historical, sociocultural, and pedagogical nature, including descriptive analysis and/or inferences based on data produced by the authors. The structure must follow a format recognized in the specific knowledge area (Physical Education at its interface with the Human and Social Sciences) and contain sections and subsections related to the following items: Introduction; Theoretical Framework; Methodological Decisions; Analysis; Discussion; Conclusion.
Essays: This section includes articles with reviews and/or theoretical-conceptual reflection on a given topic, based on the essayist’s authorial experience, which challenge understandings consolidated in the scientific field and point to interpretations that have not yet been envisioned, without necessarily resorting to literature review or empiric production.
Note: Sections “Focus” and “Controversial Topics” will be published at the discretion of the Editorial Board.
1.4 Commitments to Open Science
Journal Movimento declares its alignment with the modus operandi of open science, which is sustained on three pillars:
- updating the editorial policies adopted in 2020 in this ‘Instructions to Authors’ section;
- in manuscript management processes, introducing the ‘Editorial Notes’ section at the end of each article, which informs and details the License to Use (Creative Commons); Conflict of Interest statement; each author’s Contribution to their articles; whether the study received funding or not; existence and description of ethics-in-research parameters; and editorial responsibility, specifying those involved in each article’s editorial flow;
- on circulation and publicizing: disseminating Movimento’s production and activities on social media already established and in full operation (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter) in order to interact with the academic – and especially the non-academic – community.
Movimento considers adopting other open science practices (preprints, open reviews, and primary research data), which will be addressed by the Editorial Committee in line with other journals in the area of Physical Education.
2 LIMITS OF ARTICLES TO BE SUBMITTED AND PUBLISHED PER AUTHOR
- Movimento will publish a maximum of two works of the same authors or co-authors per year. Therefore, before starting the submission process, please check the status of all authors involved.
- Since April 14, 2018, Movimento will simultaneously review up to two articles of the same authors and co-authors. If this limit is exceeded, new submissions will be dismissed regardless of merit. Thus, the author making the submission must check the status of each of the others.
- Since July 6, 2019, Movimento is no longer accepting manuscripts on instrument validation.
- Since June 30, 2020, Movimento no longer accepts manuscripts submitted in question-and-answer format from interviews with prominent personalities in the area.
3 GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS AND STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
This section contains a set of definitions and parameters guiding the work of Movimento, which must be observed by authors submitting manuscripts.
3.1 Innovation, Originality, Exclusivity, and Responsibility
Movimento publishes original works and reviews that are not being simultaneously reviewed elsewhere.
If the article is a product of another product (derivative, continuation, development) published in printed or electronic media – e.g. thesis/dissertation available in a repository, text published in conference proceedings or book chapter – the authors should provide the reference for that publication to the Editors. This will be indicated in the document “Authors’ statements and details,” described in Item 3.6 below. Even with this information, upon receiving the submissions and before starting the peer review process, the Editorial Board of Movimento will verify the similarity of the manuscript to other works published elsewhere.
Authors are fully responsible for views/concepts expressed in signed articles and transcribed material. If copyrighted illustrations are used in the manuscript, authors are responsible for obtaining permissions.
In case of confirmed or alleged non-observance of these aspects, the authors will be asked to provide information to the Editorial Board for examination and decision.
3.2 Copyright License (CC BY 4.0)
Movimento adopts the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) for approved and published works. This means that authors:
- keep their copyrights and grant right of first publication to the journal; and
- as long as the authors’ names and Movimento’s initial publication rights are acknowledged, the authors may share (copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format) and adapt (remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially).
More information at: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
3.3 Transparency in Scientific Activity
Concerned with scientific transparency parameters, Movimento establishes as a mandatory procedure that authors must state any conflict of interest regarding their manuscripts. Even if there is no conflict of interest, authors must state that.
Likewise, Movimento establishes as a mandatory procedure that authors should indicate if their research was sponsored by funding agencies. Information on any financial support must be included. For instance, under Ordinance 206/2018, reference to the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) is mandatory in cases where it has fully or partially funded the research. More information at: http://cad.capes.gov.br/ato-administrativo-detalhar?idAtoAdmElastic=83
Finally, it also establishes as a mandatory procedure that the contribution of each of the authors is stated and specified. To this end, we recommend using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), which provides guidelines for 14 functions that can be used to represent the roles normally played by contributors in academic scientific work. This taxonomy is available at: https://casrai.org/credit/
The statements and details mentioned above will be recorded in the document “Authors’ statements and details” explained in item 3.6 below.
3.4 Integrity and Ethics in Research with Human Beings
Movimento adopts as Integrity in Scientific Activity parameters the Integrity in Scientific Research Guide of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (available at: http://www.ufrgs.br/propesq1/propesq/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/guia-para-integridade-em-pesquisa-cientifica.pdf), resolutions 466/12 and 510/2016 of Brazil’s National Health Council (available at: https://www.ufrgs.br/cep/) when dealing with research carried out with human beings, and the principles contained in the Codes of Ethics of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE, available at: https://publicationethics.org/).
For research conducted in Brazil, authors must indicate the number registered on Plataforma Brasil and the institution of the Research Ethics Committee; for research conducted in other countries, use the equivalent registration in the country of origin of the article. If the research has not been assessed and approved by a Research Ethics Committee, authors should state that all ethical procedures contained in the aforementioned resolutions were fully complied with. This statement will be recorded in the document “Authors’ Statements and Details” described in Item 3.6 below.
3.5 Publication fee
- R$500.00 for payments processed within Latin America;
- US$ 150.00 for payments processed outside Latin America.
Once the manuscript is approved (item 6.1, phase 3), the author will receive an email with instructions about the payment. As soon as the payment of the fee is confirmed, the manuscript moves on to the next step.
3.6 Authors’ statements and details
In view of the definitions and procedures mentioned in the subsections above (3.1-3.5), authors must necessarily sign and submit the AUTHORS’ STATEMENTS AND DETAILS form together with the manuscript. To download this document, fill it out, and sign it, CLICK HERE. All authors must sign, which can be made digitally.
As for integrity and transparency in scientific activity, if the manuscript is approved, the information contained in the referred statement (those applying to the manuscript submitted and reviewed) will be incorporated into the final version to be published in a section entitled “editorial notes.” Click here to see an example of this section.
4 MANUSCRIPT STRUCTURE AND FORMATTING
This section presents information on mandatory elements regarding structure and formatting of manuscripts to be submitted. Manuscripts that do not follow this structure will be returned to their authors without review, according to the procedure described in Subsection 6.1 below (Stage 1).
4.1 Manuscript Structure and Size
Using the TEMPLATE is mandatory do define the manuscript’s structuring and formatting. CLICK HERE to download the template.
Manuscripts’ lettering should in Arial typeface 12 pt., 1.5 line spacing, and must not exceed 6,000 words including titles, abstracts, key words in 3 languages (use Tools - Word count). Bibliographic references do not count for article size. Use italics only for foreign words or et al. and In:.
The manuscript’s title should be simple, concise, and clear. You should avoid titles longer than 15 words, with periods, commas, abbreviations, quotation marks or ironic tones. Considering that Movimento has an international scope, these choices can make it difficult for non-native readers to retrieve your article using database search engines and understand it.
At the discretion of the Editorial Board, works by guest authors in sections In Focus and Controversial Topics may exceed the number of words indicated above.
4.2 Organizing the manuscript
Movimento employs the rules of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) concerning article presentation in scientific journals (NBR 6022/2003), references (NBR 6023/2018), abstracts (NBR 6028/2018), citations in documents (NBR 10520/2002), and progressive numbering of sections in a document (6024/2003), as well as table standards of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Therefore, text composition should reflect these rules accordingly.
4.2.1 Illustrations (photographs, drawings, graphs, etc.).
Illustrations should be in the body text, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, and cited as FIGURES, with titles at the top and sources at the bottom, according to examples available in the TEMPLATE. They must allow perfect reproduction and meet the standard of the article regarding typeface and font size. Resolution must be between 200 and 300 dpi.
Copyright holders must grant their express permission to use copyrighted illustrations according to Law 9610 of February 19, 1998. Authors must be aware of legal sanctions in case of violations.
In addition to being included in the body text, illustrations – specially photographs and graphic drawings – must be sent as “Illustrations” files (to be selected in the options box) during the submission process.
4.2.2 Tables and charts
Tables and charts should appear in the body text numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and headed by their titles, and comply with the standard of the manuscript in terms of typeface and font size, according to examples available in the TEMPLATE. They must be limited to the minimum necessary and sources must be cited. In the final edition of the article, reviewers will be able to advise on changes in the number and size of tables in order to keep the journal’s standard. Tables and charts cannot be included as images under any circumstances, as their content is part of the word count.
4.3 References
References are the documents cited in the text according to NBR 6023/2018. They must be listed alphabetically at the end of the manuscript, aligned to the left, and placed at the end of the article, citing sources, under the title REFERENCES, which must be centered. Authors’ names must be cited in full. For better understanding and viewing, CLICK HERE TO ACCESS GUIDELINES AND EXAMPLES OF REFERENCES for various types of materials.
4.4 Authors’ anonymity
In organizing the text/file for submission, authors must suppress all information that allows identifying them. That is crucial to preserve their anonymity and guarantee the blind review procedure. Therefore:
- The text submitted should not contain information identifying the authors;
- File properties should not include information identifying the authors. If you are using Microsoft Word, a tutorial to suppress such information can be found here.
5 SUBMITTING THE MANUSCRIPT ON THE ONLINE PLATFORM
Manuscripts must be sent only in digital format through the online platform available at https://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/Movimento/. Submission must be made by one of the authors and includes five steps:
To start the submission process, the submitter should be registered in the platform (https://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/Movimento/user/register). If he has done so already, to click “New submission” pending login will suffice.
Unregistered authors should click “Registration”. The steps and orientations to complete the registration are as follows:
- We recommend to start the process by binding your ORCID profile to the account being created in the Movimento platform. To do so, click “Create or bind your ORCID”, log in to the platform and authorize access. Once bound, certain registration fields will be automatically filled.
- Fill in the fields “Name” and “Surname” without abbreviations and uppercase exclusively in the first letters.
- Fill in the field “Institution/Affiliation” in the following order: name of the university; name of the department; city; and state. [E.g., Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Escola de Educação Física, Fisioterapia e Dança (ESEFID), Porto Alegre, RS]. Do not follow neither state nor country with a period. This field is mandatory.
- Fill in the field “Country” with the system-generated list.
- Fill in the “e-mail” field with a functioning address, as this is the main communication channel for the editorial process.
- Register an “username” (login) and a password.
- Lastly, two options for privacy terms will be presented. It is important that those terms be read and that we be allowed to send news about new publications.
- To end the process, click the button “Register”.
After logging in and clicking “New submission”, a 5-step process will be initiated. Guidelines are presented below, many of them mandatory.
5.1 Step 1: Indicate section and language, accept conditions, sign copyright statement
The submission process will start by indicating and registering the section (“Original articles” or “Essays” for continuous and open flow) and language of the manuscript (“Portuguese”, “English”, “Spanish” or “French”).
Then, the author registering the submission on behalf of all co-authors (if applicable) must state the manuscript’s compliance with the items below.
- The manuscript fits the scope of Movimento(ESEFID/UFRGS), that is, it clearly addresses topics related to the field of Physical Education at its interface with Human and Social Sciences, more specifically in its pedagogical, historical, political, and cultural aspects. The journal receives, reviews, and publishes manuscripts debating the phenomena and topics investigated, having the Human and Social Sciences as their theoretical, methodological, analytical, and interpretative foundations.
- This manuscript meets the four conditions for review detailed in Section 2 of the guidelines: 1. A maximum of two manuscripts by the same author or co-authors per year; 2. up to 2 simultaneous manuscripts by the same author/co-author; 3. no manuscripts on instrument validation; and 4. No manuscripts submitted in question-and-answer format from interviews with prominent personalities in the area.
- All authors involved have signed the Authors’ statements and details form, which includes formal agreements, details, rights and responsibilities related to the manuscript’s production and publication.
- The structure and format of the manuscript being submitted were based on the TEMPLATE and consider the mandatory elements described in the rules for organizing the manuscript, reference presentation, and inclusion of illustrations, tables, and charts (if applicable).
- The authors have suppressed all the information that might lead to their identification from the manuscript, which is crucial to preserve their anonymity and ensure the blind review procedure. This has been done both for “the text” and “file properties”.
-
The author will be asked to provide proof of payment for the publication fee via email sent by the Executive Editor upon acceptance of the work.
After meeting these requirements on behalf of all co-authors (if applicable), the author making the registration must record/reaffirm her or his agreement in a copyright statement, considering the adoption of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
Finally, the submitter must agree to the collection and storage of data, as stated in the privacy policy, and may, if she or he deems it necessary, submit comments to the editor who will head/conduct the review process.
5.2 Step 2: Uploading the manuscript
Step 2 of the submission procedure involves uploading the file that will be peer-reviewed (which meets the set of requirements described in the previous sections of these guidelines, according to the template, and does not contain elements identifying the authors).
Firstly, click the link “Send files”. You will be directed to a page through which you can upload said files.
- The first file to be anexed is the manuscript, selecting the option “Manuscript text”. Register the file’s metadata and click “Send new file”.
- A new file upload page will be opened. The document “Authorship declarations and specifications” must be anexed in this page, duly signed by all the authors, in PDF format. Click here to download the form. Register the metadata file’s and click “Send new file” (if necessary) or “End” if it is the last one.
- If the manuscript composition involves illustrations (photographies, graphs, schematics or other images), every one of them must be anexed alongside the text and declaration. Choose the option “Illustrations” and continue the upload process. Register the files’ metadata and click “Send new file” (if necessary) or “End” if it is the last one.
- If there are files related to research materials and processes that the authors consider relevant to be presented in the evaluation flow, choose the option “Others” and continue the upload process. Register the files’ metadata and click “End”.
5.3 Step 3: Including Metadata
In Step 3 of the submission procedure, the author making the registration must record a set of metadata identifying the manuscript and, then, the authors. For the manuscript metadata:
- Insert the title of the work in 3 languages (“english”, “portuguese”, “spanish” or “french”). The title must be simple, concise and clear. It is advised to avoid titles longer than 15 words or including period, commas, abbreviations, quotation marks or ironic undertones. The manuscript title should be registered in UPPER CASE LETTERS. Please note that, for each one of the title languages, there are 3 different fields: “preffix”, “title” and “subtitle”.
- Insert the abstract in 3 languages (“english”, “portuguese”, “spanish” or “french”). Present to the reader the objectives, metodology, results and conclusions of the paper, in such a way that exempts consultation of the original file. It must be composed of a concise and objective sequence of words, not exceeding 150 words.
The first field to be selected is FORM LANGUAGE. Since the information in the article (title, abstract and key words) must be registered in three languages, the author recording the data must do the procedure three times, according to the tutorial available here.
Then, if necessary, details of all authors must be registered, considering the following guidelines:
- Do not fill in the “Title” field (leave it blank).
- “First Name” and “Last Name” must be written in full, with only their initials capitalized. It is not necessary to fill in this field in 3 languages;
- Do not fill in the field “Treatment pronoun” (leave it blank!);
- Fill in the field “e-mail” with a functioning address, as this is the main communication channel for the editorial process.
- Fill in the field “Country” with the system-generated list. This field is mandatory.
- In “ORCID iD,” write the address provided by the ORCID platform at: https://orcid.org/my-orcid. This field must be filled in. Therefore, all authors who will be included must register on that platform and obtain their IDs (links) to fill in the field.
- The “Institution/Affiliation” field refers to the author’s affiliation and must be completed in the following order: Name of the University, Name of the institution’s unit/department, City, State. [Example: Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). School of Physical Education, Physiotherapy and Dance (ESEFID), Porto Alegre, RS]. Do not use periods after State or the country. This field MUST be completed.
- Select and register the author’s “Country”. This field MUST be completed.
- Fill in the “Bio” field with data on the author’s academic and professional history. It is of great importance that such information be available and up-to-date, as it will be visualized the moment the readers access the paper.
- While registering the co-authors, the submitter may designate a collaborator to be the “main correspondence contact”. Otherwise, by default, the subitter is designated as the “main contact”.
- It is important to leave the option “Include this author in navigation lists” checked, for it allows him to be listed and thus visualized by the readers.
- Leave the option “Send e-mail to request ORCID authorization by the contributor” checked. This way, a message will be sent to the co-authors requesting authorization for the bond between the ORCID and the UFRGS Journals’ platforms.
The items above must be considered for all authors (especially those indicated as mandatory). To add a new co-author, click ADD CO-AUTHOR.
Once all authors are registered, it is necessary to submit additional information:
- Insert key-words in 3 languages (“english”, “portuguese”, “spanish” or “french”). Up to 4 terms that identify the subject of the article, separated by periods, may be used. Use of Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) is recommended. Available at: http://decs.bvs.br/. This field is mandatory.
- If it is the case, insert support data on “funding agencies”, i.e, organizations that financially supported the project.
- Insert all the bibliographical references, in alphabetical order, in accordance to Brazilian Association for Technical Norms’ (ABNT) NBR 6023/2018. This field is mandatory.
Once the manuscript’s, the authors’ and the supplementary information has been registered, click “SAVE AND CONTINUE” to continue the submission process.
5.4. Step 4: Confirmation
In this moment two options are presented to the submitter:
1) She/ he may return to any of the 3 previous steps and adjust fields already filled in, navigating through the top menu;
2) She/ he may end the submission, sending it to the editor responsible for the habilitation phase.
When the submitter decides that the data are adequate, she/ he should click “End submission”.
5.5. Step 5: Next steps
Concluded the submission process, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the submitter. Simultaneously, the editorial staff will be comunicated so that it may start the evaluation process. These processes are described below.
Once this has been done, the authors may observe the submission status by accessing the system.
If you have any questions, please contact us at: editoriaexecutivamovimento@ufrgs.br.
6 PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA FOR REVIEWING AND PUBLICATION MANUSCRIPTS SUBMITTED
Works with quality and relevance consistent with that of Movimento, considering the review process described below, will be selected for publication.
6.1 Review process
The process for reviewing manuscripts submitted to Movimento comprises three stages:
Stage 1 – Qualification
When a manuscript is submitted, the Editorial Board conducts the first review procedure, which involves verifying:
- If the author and co-authors do not have more than two manuscripts under review. If this limit is exceeded, new submissions will be dismissed without further examination.
- If the manuscript does not address instrument validation or is based on an interview format, which will not be accepted by Movimento.
- Whether the proposal matches the scope of the journal, detailed on the ‘about/focus and scope.’ The Editorial Board reserves the right to decide whether or not a manuscript fits the scope of the journal.
- Whether mandatory structure and formatting requirements have been met, according to directions available in Section 4 of these guidelines and the TEMPLATE.
- The absence of elements identifying the authors, either in the text or in file properties, according to guidelines in a tutorial that can be accessed here.
- Whether AUTHOR’S STATEMENTS AND DETAILS was uploaded as a supplementary document whose template can be downloaded here. The statement must be signed by all authors.
- Whether illustrations (photographs, image graphs, diagrams or other illustrations) contained in the manuscript were uploaded as supplementary documents.
If any problems are found regarding these items, the authors will be informed about the impossibility of continuing the review procedures. The Executive Editor will request the necessary adjustments or additions and set a deadline.
Stage 2 – Peer review (scientific merit):
Submissions approved in stage phase 1 will advance in the evaluation process. In this process, the steps are as follows:
- Verifying if proof of payment of submission fees has been sent as a supplementary document (learn more in Item 6, “Conditions for submission”). Authors will receive a message from the Editorial Committee stating that their manuscripts will proceed to the evaluation stage and that they MUST SEND PROOF OF PAYMENT as a SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENT through the platform interface, in the session “pre-evaluation discussion”. Submissions that do not include proof of payment within 10 days will be disregarded.
- A section editor will be appointed to coordinate the review flow, together with the Editorial Board.
- Anti-plagiarism software will be employed to verify the similarity of the manuscript submitted with other products published and available.
- At least two reviewers will be appointed. They should provide their opinions within three weeks.
- The reviewers will examine the work, considering the six guiding aspects below:
- Innovation, originality, relevance:Whether the topic and purposes of the manuscript address issues that are important to the area of study, with originality and relevance. Whether it points out a knowledge gap and produces results that improve it. Whether it contributes to new reflections or questions in the area.
- Coherence:Whether the work presents a logical argument in synch with the theoretical-methodological framework adopted. Whether the goals are clearly stated, and efforts are made to achieve them accordingly. Whether conclusions are reached that are in synch with the argumentative process and purposes.
- Strength:If the manuscript is able to convince at a level equivalent to existing productions on the topic. Whether the statements are sufficiently substantiated to the point of standing when confronted with contrary arguments.
- Purposefulness/convincing power:Whether the work is able to apprehend elements of the phenomenon under study. Whether the analyzes are sufficient to capture, present and convince about the veracity of the results regarding the phenomenon.
- Linguistic register and technical standards:Whether the text register indicates mastery of formal written language. Whether technical standards adopted by Movimento are covered.
- Research and publication ethics:Whether the study complies with agreed research ethics standards for investigations interfacing with the social and human sciences. Whether the publication complies with the basic guidelines for integrity in scientific activity.
- In cases of disagreement, inaccuracy or incompleteness regarding reviewers’ opinions, section editors may appoint other reviewers to collect further information about the manuscript based on the guidelines adopted. These new reviewers will also have three weeks to issue their opinions. Based on reviewers’ recommendations and opinions, the editor in charge will present a proposal for the Editorial Board to decide on the status of the submission. Possible scenarios include:
* The manuscript is approved for publication.
* Corrections, modifications, or additions are requested from the authors.
* Publication is denied.
- A decision to request corrections, modifications or additions does not mean acceptance, but rather that new rounds of review may be requested. The authors will be informed of the decision on corrections, modifications or additions and will have 15 days to present their view and submit the new version of the manuscript together with their views on the demands, if necessary. This occurring, the manuscript will go on to a new review round in which reviewers will be consulted again, preferably those who demanded changes. They will have three weeks to verify if the recommendations have been met. In these new rounds, if necessary, the section editor may also appoint another reviewer, who will also have three weeks to issue a consolidated opinion.
- Once all rounds have been concluded based on reviewers’ recommendations and opinions, the section editor will present a proposal for the Editorial Board to decide on whether to finally accept or reject the submission.
Stage 3 – Final review of standards, metadata, and descriptors
Manuscripts approved for publication go on to the editing stage, when they will be prepared for publication through the following steps:
- The publication fee must be paid by the author as stated in item 3.5. The Executive Editorial will send an email with instructions on how to make the payment. Once the payment has been verified, the manuscript will proceed to the next steps.
- Review of bibliographic standards (citations, references, text formatting, illustrations, charts, and tables). In this stage, the Editorial Board reserves the right to proceed with grammatical revision of the texts and make corrections, as long as they do not change content.
- Review of the manuscript’s descriptors and metadata, observing correspondence between information in the text file and that entered on the SEER platform.
- After these two reviews, the texts will be sent to the authors for reading and corrections until a final version is approved. The authors will have 15 days to comment and submit the final version on the platform. Afterwards, the articles will be sent for layout and publication.
- If there is no manifestation by the authors by that deadline, the articles will be disregarded.
6.2 Journal Movimento encourages publication of english language versions
Journal Movimento expresses its interest and encourages authors to publish English versions of articles approved in Portuguese/Spanish. The main purpose is to increase visibility and circulation of scientific works on Physical Education in other countries and to meet the requirements of the international bases in which Movimento is indexed.
We emphasize that the version to be translated into English must be the latest one, that is, the one approved by the Editorial Committee in Portuguese/Spanish and considered ready for publication. Additionally, we emphasize that translation costs will be borne by the authors and that the English version must meet the same quality standard as Portuguese/Spanish language versions. Otherwise, Movimento reserves the right to publish only the previously approved Portuguese/Spanish version. We recommend the companies listed below.
