About the Journal
Focus and Scope
The Informação & Sociedade Journal aims to disseminate original works that contribute to the development of knowledge in the fields of Information Science, Library Science, Archival Science, and Museology, as well as in areas that develop informational studies articulated predominantly with Information Science.
The journal publishes works by researchers, professors, students, and professionals, regardless of their institutional affiliation or place of origin. Originality of submitted articles is required, and at least one of the authors must hold a doctoral degree.
.
Periodicity
The Informação & Sociedade Journal adopts the Continuous Publication model, publishing articles in a single annual volume as the editorial and layout processes are completed.
The processing and publication time of manuscripts may vary due to the different stages of the editorial workflow, especially due to the dependence on ad hoc reviewers, whose participation in the double-blind review is voluntary. Therefore, variations in the evaluation and publication timeframe may occur depending on the availability of the scientific community to issue reviews.
Publication Fees (APC)
The journal Informação & Sociedade is a Diamond Open Access scientific journal. We do not charge article submission fees, evaluation fees, or article processing charges (APC) for publication. The entire editorial process, as well as reading and downloading the articles, is completely free of charge.
