About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Estilos da Clínica magazine is a biannual publication whose purpose is to support an interdisciplinary editoral space around the axis of psychoanalysis, focused more specifically in the problematics of childhood. Original texts spontaneously sent by authors are accepted for publication.
Peer Review Process
The publication of articles depends on the opinion of the magazine’s Consultants or of other ad hoc collaborators.
The articles sent will be initially analyzed by the Executive Editor, and if they are in accordance with the Rules for Publication, they will be forwarded by the Editors to at least two Consultants or ad hoc collaborators for their evaluation.
The “ad hoc” consultants will be chosen by the Executive Editor among acknowledged researchers in the area of the publication and will not be informed of the identity of the authors or of their institutional memberships. The authors will not be aware of the consultants’ identities either.
After analyzing the articles, the consultants issue their opinions in writing: approved, approved with recommendations and/or suggestions or rejected for publication. Estilos da Clínica magazine counts on qualified consultants who issue constructive opinions on the works of the authors. The copies of the consultants’ opinions will be provided in whole to the authors of the works.
After analyzing the opinions issued, the Editors will be responsible for accepting or rejecting the text, sending it for publication and also eventually suggesting the author to make changes to their text. On the other hand, the Editors are entitled to make small and simple changes to the texts in order to speed up the publication process. The Executive Editor will inform the authors, as soon as possible, about the final opinion and possible date of publication.
The originals of the works sent will not be returned. For this reason, it is recommended that the authors keep a copy of their texts.
The copyright of the articles published is not being assigned to Estilos da Clínica, and for this reason it belongs to its authors; in case these articles are eventually published in other vehicles, it is recommended to mention the first publication on Estilos da Clínica.
The authors will receive a copy of the magazine in which their article was published.
