Focus and Scope

 

Cadernos Gestão Pública e Cidadania (CGPC) is a scientific journal publishing scholarly works in two areas of knowledge: public administration and public policies, encompassing interrelated areas such as environmental science, health, tourism, social service, and others in which public administration and public policies are transversal.

CGPC offer a platform with a plural methodological orientation open to qualitative, quantitative, and multi-method studies. It privileges studies presenting innovative methods with scientific rigor and relevance that offer clear contributions to the advancement of knowledge.

Submitted studies should involve state and parastatal organizations, as well as the various actors of the public sphere, including public-private sector partnerships, civil society organizations, philanthropic initiatives, social organizations, government agencies, and local production arrangements. The journal also welcomes intra-organizational studies offering analysis at the individual, group, or organizational levels.

Studies should refrain from merely replicating administration analytical models in the context of the public sphere. It is essential to contextualize, translate, and interpret the results based on the characteristics of the Brazilian public sphere.

CGPC publishe theoretical development articles, empirical studies, literature reviews, position papers, and essays, and technological articles.

EDITORIAL POLICY

Preprints

 

CGPC accept articles published in preprints repositories (e.g., SciELO Preprints, Fighshare, Zenodo, arXiv, PeerJ Preprints, SOC ARXIV) and encourage authors to anticipate the release of previous versions of their work. Thus, it contributes to the dissemination of research and collaborations among peers.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

The reviewing process begins once the editorial staff receives the submitted article. Immediately, the manuscript is evaluated for format adequacy. If approved, it proceeds to similarity tracking (iThenticate) and then forwarded to the editor-in-chief for desk review. This process results in rejection or continuation of the peer review process, composed of three steps:

1) Editor-in-Chief screening: The editor examines the suitability of the scholarly work to the journal’s editorial line and potential for publication. If they consider the manuscript is outside the editorial line or below the competitive standard of the publication, the editor-in-chief may reject it immediately. Otherwise, designate it to a member of the Scientific Editorial Board;

2) Preliminary evaluation by a member of the Scientific Editorial Board, who aims to identify the contribution of the article to its area of expertise;

3) Peer review, by at least two reviewers: coordinated by a member of the Scientific Editorial Board of the article’s area of expertise, it consists of the interaction between the authors and at least two expert reviewers who, when evaluating the work, make comments and suggestions for improvement. This stage involves continuous reassessments and joining efforts to improve the articles.

Open peer review options

In the section Technological Article and Contemporary Brazil, the peer review process is open at all stages.

In other sections, the CGPC:

  • Identifie the name of the associated editor responsible for the reviewing process in the published article.
  • Offer the possibility of identifying the reviewers in the published article.
  • Offer the option of publishing the reviewers’ report with or without identifying reviewers.
 

 

Open Data

 

CGPC recommend that authors deposit data and all research materials in data repositories, contributing to data storage, access, and sharing.

Furthermore, the CGPC recommend that authors follow the SciELO guidelines: Guia TOP; Guia de citação de dados de pesquisa; Lista de repositórios para depósito de dados de pesquisa.

 

 

Fees

 

Authors do not pay an article processing charge (APC) or any other fee to publish in CGPC. Readers do not have to pay to access the content. CGPC follow the Open Science Diamond model, in which the publishing institution subsidizes all expenses.

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

The CGPC follow the policies established in the SciELO Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication, and by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) / Flowcharts in case of violation of good practices in scientific production and publication.

The CGPC follows the Guide for the Registration and Publication of Errata when an errata is required.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

CGPC authors, evaluators and editors must declare any conflicts of interest when participating in the manuscript submission or evaluation process. (See Ethics & Conduct and Guidelines for Authors)

A conflict of interest is any personal, intellectual, commercial, political, academic or financial issue.

Conflicts of interest may occur when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that may influence their writing or evaluation of manuscripts. Read more: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.

 

 

Adoption of similarity software

 

In the second phase of manuscript evaluation, format checking is carried out,    followed by similarity tracking by iThenticate. Only then is the article forwarded to the editor-in-chief for desk review and starts the evaluation process. The similarity report is analyzed in detail regardless of the signaled similarity index, as this indicator is always important even if there is no maximum or minimum index. By way of illustration, if the similarity index is high (for example, 30%) due to the article originating from work presented at a conference by the author himself, this will not prevent the article from proceeding to the next stage of peer review. However, if it is a percentage of, for example, 5%, but represents reproduction of someone else's work without properly identifying the source, the article is returned to the author for justification or correction. Each report is considered a unique case and is treated diligently individually. In case of attention due to similarity, the author is always consulted before the editor-in-chief makes a decision, and, based on his or her conduct in the situation, justification or correction, the article can continue in the peer review process or can be rejected.

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

CGPC asserts its commitment to the promotion and dissemination of knowledge as a common good, with equity and justice, involving the principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) and in this way promotes inclusive governance with diverse and minority audiences. Consequently, CGPC confirm its efforts in favor of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG/UN), with emphasis on objectives 5-Gender Equality and 10-Reduction of inequalities.

In this sense, the CGPC recommends that authors, editors, reviewers, and all contributors are aware of and adhere to universal principles of equity established by, for example:
