About the Journal

The journal will accept new submissions from April 2025.

 

Focus and Scope
Revista de Casos e Consultoria is a journal linked to the Case Method Research Group, with open access and continuous publication flow. The journal accepts manuscripts in Portuguese, Spanish, and English in all areas of knowledge, especially focusing on Teaching Cases and Consultancy.

Section Policies
The journal publishes a variety of academic contributions, including original research articles, review articles, conference papers, and scientific initiation articles, as well as dossiers, essays, experience reports, reviews, educational resources, and teaching cases. All submitted works undergo peer review.

Peer Review Process
Manuscript evaluation is conducted through peer review, preferably by reviewers external to UFRN, using the double-blind method. Each manuscript is assessed by at least two reviewers in at least one round of evaluation:

1) After submission, the section editor (or support staff) checks if all data are in the file and in the journal system, and if the submission is appropriate for the respective section (the editor may send the work for evaluation, may send it to another section, or may reject the work and guide for a new submission).

2) The first round of evaluation begins and is only completed when the reviewers and authors reach a consensus on the changes made to the work (if there is no agreement, the editor decides whether to change the reviewers, reject the work, or request resubmission).

3) If necessary, the second round of evaluation begins and is only completed when the reviewers (different from those who participated in the first round) and authors reach a consensus on the changes made to the work (if there is no agreement, the editor decides whether to change the reviewers, reject the article, or request resubmission).

4) After the editor's analysis, the author submits the final version of the manuscript, along with the respective similarity detection software report (possibly CopySpider), and the record of changes made to the work throughout the peer review process.

Frequency
Revista de Casos e Consultoria is an annual journal with continuous flow.

Publication Ethics and Negligence Declaration
The journal is committed to adhering to good practices regarding moral conduct consistent with the scientific editing of journals. Preventing negligence is also a crucial responsibility of the author, editor, and editorial team: any form of unethical behavior, as well as plagiarism in any instance, is not accepted. Authors submitting articles to the journal guarantee that the work has not been published nor is under review/evaluation in any other journal.

The journal recommends using the CONSORT 2010 checklist and flowchart as a submission requirement when reporting the results of a randomized study. Templates for these can be found on the CONSORT website [www.consort-statement.org], which also describes various CONSORT checklist extensions for different projects and types of data in addition to two parallel group tests. Articles should report the content covered by each item on the checklist. Meeting these basic requirements will increase the chances of eventual publication.

The Journal is aligned with open access policies (Open Access) and agrees with and follows the recommendations outlined in the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). The DORA Declaration is available in Portuguese at: https://sfdora.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DORA_Brazilian-Portuguese.pdf.

Storage and Distribution Policies

The journal embraces an inclusive policy regarding preprints, allowing the submission of works already stored on other platforms. Additionally, it authorizes the storage and access of preprint versions of submitted manuscripts in institutional or digital repositories. Once the article is accepted, the author’s post-print version may also be stored and accessed, along with the journal's final post-print version.

The journal follows the Green model, enabling the storage and access of all versions (preprint and post-print) in digital repositories. Documents are made available immediately after acceptance, ensuring immediate open access. Publications are licensed under Creative Commons CC BY, allowing distribution, remixing, adaptation, and the creation of derivative works, including for commercial purposes, as long as proper credit is given to the original author. It is important to note that the journal does not charge any publication fees.
