About the Journal

Focus and Mission

Fineduca is an online academic journal of free access, peer-reviewed, edited by the National Association for Research in Education Financing.

It aims to disseminate unpublished studies, research, reflections on the practice and to promote the exchange and debate of ideas, contributing to the improvement of the analytical tools and the theoretical and methodological concepts related to its scope.

It publishes unpublished works in Portuguese, Spanish and English, with the exception of the classic texts that are out of print and translations of articles inaccessible to Brazilian readers when authorized by their authors

This scientific journal intends to be a democratic and plural channel for the dissemination of different analyzes and conceptions about educational financing.

Peer Review Process

FINEDUCA Journal receives proposals for individual and co-authored texts. The works are evaluated according to the principle of blind peer review, that is, based on the feedbacks of at least two experts from states or countries other than the state or country of the author(s).

The journal accepts texts in the form of scientific articles, avoiding receiving texts for evaluation that are: only research projects or reports; only literature review; clippings of academic papers without adaptation; experience report without in-depth theoretical discussion; incomplete or insufficiently elaborated for the theme they propose; outside the Education Financing area and related areas; written in a non-academic manner or containing many language and typing errors; formatted according to different rules from those practiced by the scientific journal.

Texts that have already been published in part or in whole are also rejected.

The texts to be evaluated for publication go through three phases. The first corresponds to the pre-evaluation carried out by the editors, considering formal compliance with the journal's standards and submission to a plagiarism detection program or degree of similarity. For original articles, this degree cannot exceed 30%, while for articles directly derived from theses or dissertations, this value can be up to 65%, conditions that, if not met, will result in the archiving of the text after notification to the authors.

In the second phase, the text is sent to at least two reviewers, experts in the area or approach of the article under evaluation, from institutions other than the authors' institutions.

In the third phase, the approved articles go for adjustments by the authors necessary to enter the editing phase.

In the case of texts rejected by two reviewers, the authors are notified and the text is archived. Submissions that receive discrepant opinions are forwarded to a third evaluator. The required revisions must be considered according to the opinion sent by the editorial team.

The journal can also, in order to encourage the publication of certain themes, invite researchers to send unpublished texts, as long as they are in a lower proportion than the evaluated texts and under the condition that they are an important contribution to the area. The journal accepts articles based on research communications already published in Annals of events, as long as they are substantially revised and expanded.

The deadline for starting the evaluation process will be UP TO eight months. The publication of approved articles will be carried out within a MAXIMUM period of 24 months from the date of submission.

Fineduca is an online scientific journal of continuous publication, with an annual volume in which approved articles are added according to the editorial flow.

Ethical Principles and procedures to avoid bad practices in scientific production

1) Authors' Responsibility

– Authors are responsible for the content of their articles, as well as for the copyright of images, videos and any textual or complementary elements to their article.

– The authors agree to work for free in the peer review process for this journal in the future.

– In the final version of the manuscript, in a footnote, authors must indicate the collaboration practiced by each author in preparing the article: at all stages, in the collection and systematization of data and information or in the production of the text.

– Authors are obliged to offer the journal retractions or corrections of any errors when requested.

– Authors must ensure that their text is an original work and must not submit, in parallel, the same text to another journal.

– If the article was written based on research that presents real risks for participants, it is mandatory to present an opinion from the Ethics Committee of the researcher's institution.

– Only humans can be authors and co-authors; Fineduca prohibits the use of AI in the production of original scientific content, in the elaboration of text parts, in the production of tables and/or images (any adaptations/edits must be disclosed with the original sources informed and the use declared in a footnote).

2) The Evaluation Process

– The entire content of the journal is submitted to peer review using the double-blind peer review method.

– Peer review is the process of obtaining feedbacks on individual manuscripts from expert reviewers in the field. This process is clearly described on our website.

– Feedbacks must be as objective as possible and sufficiently based to allow the improvement of the research and the evaluated text. Preference is given to producing opinions in text form, but, when necessary to include relevant comments in the form of a review of the text under analysis, these must necessarily be made in anonymous mode.

– Evaluators must use the anonymous feature when making suggestions in the text of the article, using Word's change control feature so that their identity is not known to the author.

– Evaluators should have no conflicts of interest and state this in writing in the journal's system when conducting an evaluation.

– Evaluators should always draw attention to texts or excerpts that have already been published and that have not been properly cited.

– All evaluated articles are treated confidentially.

– The journal understands that any form of plagiarism is not acceptable and uses anti-plagiarism review tools, reserving the right to deny the continued evaluation of articles that present more than 30% similarity with texts already published, with the exception of the reference to documents.

– The final decision on whether or not to publish a text rests with the Editorial Team.

– The only evaluation criteria are the academic merit of the text and the improvement of the quality of knowledge, with no discrimination against authors, for any reasons.

– Editors are not allowed to use information contained in the articles under evaluation without the explicit consent of the authors.

– Editors are available to answer any ethical questions linked to a submission.

3) Ethics in Publication

– Editors make considerable efforts to avoid and prevent the publication of articles in which research misconduct has occurred.

– In no case, do we encourage misconduct or allow it to happen.

– Any allegation of improper research conduct is immediately investigated and may lead to retraction in the case of an article already published.

– This scientific journal publishes errata to correct articles when necessary.

– This scientific journal is always willing to publish corrections, clarifications, right of reply, retractions and excuses when necessary.

4) Copyright and Universal Access

– The licenses used by the journal are described on this website: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

– All articles in full content are free of charge and are available in their entirety to any reader without the need for registration or password.

5) Other Principles

– Information about the scientific journal’s ownership, copyright and / or management are clearly indicated in the “About” menu on this scientific journal’s website.

– This journal adopts the continuous publication modality, having an annual volume in which the articles approved according to the editorial flow are added.

– This journal does not charge any type of submission, evaluation or publication fee, but may require a translation of the article to be sent by the author himself.

– Except in defined situations and at the invitation of the Editorial Board, authors or co-authors cannot have more than one article, simultaneously, in the evaluation process.

Conflict of Interests

Conflicts of interest can arise when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that, whether apparent or not, can influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. The conflict of interest can be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature.

When authors submit a manuscript, they are responsible for acknowledging and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced their work. Authors must acknowledge in the manuscript all financial support obtained to carry out the work and other financial or personal connections in relation to the research.

The reviewer must disclose to the editors any conflicts of interest that may influence their opinion on the manuscript, and, when applicable, must decline the review. If the author is not sure what may constitute a potential conflict of interest, they should contact the Journal's editorial secretary.
