About the journal

 

Basic information

 

DADOS is a leading social sciences journal in Brazil and one of the oldest. Its mission is to publish original work based on academic research that contributes to theoretical and methodological innovations and to the empirical analyses of social and political themes. The journal, founded in 1966, set new standards for scholarly publishing in Brazil’s academic milieu, including being the first to adopt a double-blind peer-review process. DADOS is a founding member of and the first journal in the social sciences to join the Science Electronic Library Online (SciELO), the country's chief open-access web-based academic articles database. It is also one of the few Brazilian journals in the social sciences indexed at the Institute of Scientific Information - ISI (Thomson Co.). DADOS has the highest rating (A1) from the Brazilian funding agency CAPES.

Edited by the Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Políticos of the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - IESP-UERJ, DADOS receives articles throughout the year in a rolling publication system. It aims to combine scientific rigor and academic excellence to advance the public debate with analyses of substantive issues of society and politics. For more information about the journal, please visit the website.

In 2017, a commemorative dossier of the 50th anniversary of DADOS (1966-2016) was released, with several contributions on the journal trajectory, its disciplinary and thematic profile and its role in the professionalization of scientific journals and in the construction of social sciences in Brazil and in the rest of Latin America. In 2022, we made changes to increase transparency and promote diversity of authorship in the publication, and we published an editorial with information about the submission workflow. In addition, we now require racial and gender self-declaration information to be provided in the submission forms.

DADOS receives articles throughout the year in a rolling publication system. It aims to combine scientific rigor and academic excellence to advance the public debate with analysis of substantive issues of society and politics.

The abbreviated title of the journal is DADOS, which should be used in bibliographies, endnote, references, and bibliographic strips.

Instructions to authors

 

Goals and publishing policy

 

 

DADOS is open to the submission of unpublished manuscripts in the field of social sciences that contribute to theoretical or methodological innovation and/or empirical analysis. We foster gender and race diversity in authorship and thematic and conceptual pluralism in the contributions, which must be of academic and social interest and written clearly to the learned reader. Three formats are accepted to be evaluated by the journal:

Original Articles: unpublished manuscripts with results of systematic academic research and that present a clear theoretical, empirical or methodological contribution to the current specialized bibliography on their subject. DADOS does not accept essays, analysis of conjecture, reviews, interviews, bibliographic balances, case reports or translations. DADOS does not open calls for papers or special issues as it works with a continuous flow submission system. All articles accepted at the desk review stage are submitted for evaluation by anonymous reviewers of the editorial board and/or external. The original manuscripts must be between 4.000 and 14.000 words (including bibliographic references, tables, and notes), and must not have been submitted or published in other academic journals, books, or special collections. Articles from preprint repositories are welcome.

Technical notes: texts that aim to provide the academic community with innovative codes, packages and databases, in order to define and discuss their implementation. Technical notes can be about databases and text codes already published in the journal or about ongoing research, results not yet published. They should be present the scope of the underlying codes, packages and models or concepts so that readers with knowledge of statistics can understand their operation. The overall analysis workflow should be illustrated by a non-trivial and enlightening case study. Notes will not be accepted without additions relevant to academic knowledge, which only use elements already published or already well-known by the specialized community. Full reproducibility is mandatory and the source code is published along with the note. The evaluation of these technical notes follows the normal course of an article, being evaluated by editorial board and/or external reviewers. They must have up to 6.000 words (including bibliographic references, tables, and notes).

Critical comments: texts that formulate critical evaluations of manuscripts published by the journal in the last five years, in which research results are debated in a qualified and courteous way, with the sole objective of advancing a given academic debate. Reviews must be strictly academic and stick to the content of the texts. Comments that contain ironies, ad hominem arguments or any other personal disqualification will be summarily rejected, as well as comments focused on only praising the analyzed manuscript. Authors of articles that are eventually the object of a critical comment published in the journal will have the right to a single rejoinder, without the possibility of submitting further reactions. The evaluation of these critical comments will follow the normal procedure of an article, being evaluated by editorial board and/or external reviewers. Critical comments and rejoinders must be up to 6.000 words (including bibliographic references, tables, and notes).

 

Submitted articles cannot have been previously published elsewhere, either in whole or in part, in the form of either book chapters or journal papers. Neither can they be simultaneously submitted to other journals. Manuscripts previously published in scientific conference proceedings, preprint platforms, as preliminary versions or working papers, are considered unpublished for these purposes.

DADOS accepts the submission of manuscripts from different areas in the humanities conditioned upon their content being related to ongoing academic debates in the Social Sciences, particularly with the those in the fields of Political Science, Sociology, and International Relations.

Submitted manuscripts should necessarily focus on some of the following topics: 1) Democracy, elections, political parties, political institutions; 2) Economy, market, work, development and industry; 3) Social theory and social thought; 4) Political theory and political thought; 5) Inequalities, stratification, social class and education; 6) Collective action, social movements and unions; 7) Public policies, state capacities and management; 8) International relations, comparative politics and foreign policy; 9) Race, gender, migration and social identities; 10) Communication, media and social networks; 11) Culture; 12) City and urban issue; 13) Violence, crime, justice and human rights; 14) Political judicial and bureaucratic elites; 15) Science and Scientometrics 16) Climate, environment and rurality.

The manuscripts can be submitted in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French, however they will only be published in Portuguese, Spanish and English. In the latter case, depending on the article's content and the final decision of the Editorial Board, the publication can occur simultaneously in Portuguese/Spanish and English.

 

Manuscript evaluation policy

The publication of articles is conditioned to the peer review of members of the journal’s Scientific Committees, of which there are three: an Editorial Board (comprising the editors of the journal and associate editors who convene periodically to take decisions, actively contributing in the editorial process and evaluation); the Scientific Board (constituted by leading experts in their respective fields in Brazil and abroad, whose function is to aid the Editorial Board) and the Consultative Board (comprised of ad hoc reviewers with proven expertise based in Brazil and abroad) which is responsible for aiding the editors in taking decisions concerning the received articles and thereby contributing to assure quality and scientific rigor.

Submissions go through a threefold evaluation filter. First the editor-in-chief and the secretary evaluate whether texts comply with the journal’s editorial and submission guidelines (below). Second associate editors and members of the editorial board decide whether papers suit the journal’s scope. Denied submissions ensue a letter to authors explaining the reasons why the paper was rejected. Accepted submissions are forwarded to reviewers selected amongst PhDs of renowned expertise in the field. After a double-blind review, the editor-in-chief makes a final decision with the aid of the advisory board and authors are informed by mail.

The letter containing the editor’s final decision may: i) accept the manuscript for publication either without or with revision requests, in which case authors must address requests and return the revised manuscript; ii) recommend significant revision requests and resubmission; iii) reject it. If authors choose to resubmit the manuscript, editors reserve the right to process a maximum of two reevaluations before making a final decision.

DADOS seeks to ensure gender and racial diversity in its issues as a way to recognize and help to oppose the gender and race inequalities in science in general and in scientific publications in particular. To this end, we take the authors' self-reported gender and race as an occasional tiebreaker criterion in our peer review-based decisions.

Resubmissions must invariably comply with the journal’s guidelines. Besides, authors must provide visual indication of revisions in the text, as well as detailed responses to reviewers in their cover letter.

The approximate time for a final decision is 2 months for manuscripts rejected in the first phase and 6 months for manuscripts sent to ad hoc reviewers. This time is calculated based on the dates of submission and final decision concerning publication. In order to shorten the time lapse between approval and publication, DADOS will publish some articles ahead of print, at the discretion of its Editor-in-chief.

Accepted manuscripts are submitted to proofreading for formal and spelling mistakes and returned to authors, who must approve changes. After authors’ approval, texts are forwarded for typesetting and final layout. At this stage authors are no longer allowed to include or change texts, except for extraordinary cases. Editors may also change or edit manuscripts at their own discretion in order to adapt them to the journal’s requirements, always respecting the original content and the style of authors, who shall be consulted. Accepted manuscripts previously published in preprint platforms must include a link to the version published in DADOS.

The author is responsible for the data (which must always be available for consultation after the publication), analyses and opinions contained in the article.

The double-blind review system encourages reviewers to evaluate manuscripts having the advancement of scientific knowledge as their sole interest. With the purpose of promoting high-quality scholar debates, DADOS reserves the right to freely share the reviews of a manuscript with other guest reviewers. Reviews may also be published upon editorial board’s interest and authors’ and reviewers’ authorization. All parts involved must inform the editorial team of any potential conflicts of interest which may harm the objectivity and fairness of their deliberation.

Authors of manuscripts previously published on preprint servers must inform their online location (link, DOI etc.). They will be submitted to a blind review, in which only reviewers are informed of authors’ identities. Manuscripts not previously published on preprint servers, on the other hand, go through a double-blind review, in which neither reviewers nor authors know each other’s identities. A complete list of preprint servers accepted by the journal can be found on http://dados.iesp.uerj.br/preprints.

DADOS adopts the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), of the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico and of the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo.

There is no fee for submission and evaluation of articles.

Examples

The Top Tier in Income Distribution in Brazil: First Estimates with Tax Data, and a Comparison with Household Surveys (2006-2012)
Medeiros, Marcelo; Souza, Pedro; Castro, Fábio
This article presents the first estimation of income concentration among the richest people in Brazil, calculated based on the Personal Income Tax returns for 2006 to 2012. The main measures of inequality are the total income shares appropriated by the richest 0.1%, 1%, and 5%. The results are tested and compared with those of Brazilian household surveys. The article concludes that tax data reveal a substantially higher income concentration at the top tier compared to other data sources and that such concentration, in general terms, remains stable in the period under study.

The Political Rise of Pentecostals in Brazil according to the Evaluation of Religious Leaders
Machado, Maria das Dores; Burity, Joanildo
This article analyzes the Pentecostal leaders' perceptions of Brazilian politics and the actions of legislators of this confessional group in the last three decades. After briefly presenting the country’s main political and cultural transformations since redemocratization, we examine the opinions of these leaders on the importance of politics in the contemporary context and investigate how religious groups interact with the political sphere. Next, we discuss these leaders' evaluations of Pentecostals’ parliamentary behavior. In the conclusion, we argue that although there are different conceptions of politics, the minimalist view of political participation prevails. We also suggest that it is hegemonic the idea that this religious group, as any minority, must occupy instances of power to influence the ordering of society.

“Tax is Theft!” The Formation of an Ultraliberal Contrapublic and the Pro-Impeachment Protests against Dilma Rousseff
Rocha, Camila
The purpose of this article is to point out the role played by the ultraliberal counterpublic in calling and leading the first protests in favor of impeaching Dilma Rousseff. To this end, I sought to point out why it is pertinent to use the concept of counterpublic to characterize the dynamics among members of groups and spaces of debate related to ultraliberalism. Using empirical data triangulation, this study conducted a historical reconstruction and demonstrated, based on in-depth interviews with activists, the existence of an ultraliberal counterpublic. The conclusion is that, by meeting in advance on the internet, this group began to shape an ultraliberal counterpublic based on the existence of a collective identity shared by its members. The continuity and institutionalization of such a counterpublic were facilitated by the organizational and financial support received from a pre-existing network of liberal think tanks in the country, enabling its members to call for and lead the first pro-impeachment protests of 2014. This was due to changes in the political opportunity structure related to the June 2013 uprisings and the re-election of Dilma Rousseff in 2014.

 

Keywords

Each manuscript must be accompanied by five keywords in all languages in which the abstract was written, in lowercase letters (except for proper nouns and acronyms), and separated by a semicolon (;), without a period.

To improve the indexing of articles and, consequently, to increase discoverability, DADOS works with a controlled vocabulary of keywords, based on the most common terms and regular expressions used in its previous issues, available in our submission form. It is recommended to use at least three of the five keywords from this index.

Example

Palavras-chave: inserção econômica internacional; investimento estrangeiro direto; tratados de livre comércio; reprimarização; Colômbia
Keywords: international economic insertion; foreign direct investment; free trade agreements; reprimarization; Colombia

 

Editorial norms for the presentation of databases

Approved manuscripts based on quantitative and qualitative data which can be made available to the general public must be accompanied by their respective consolidated databases.

Public access to databases owned by third parties may be enabled by links to original files.

Microdata about human subjects must be completely anonymous so as to protect sensitive classified information.

Authors who use quantitative databases must:

Send code dictionaries (scripts, algorithms etc.) if available, along with a detailed description of variables, and the file containing complete replication codes for charts, tables and analyses.

Inform the steps of data processing used for the aggregation or modification of original databases (if applicable).

Supply databases and codes in formats accessible and replicable in at least one of the most commonly used statistical programs, such as R, Python, SPSS, Stata and Excel.

Provide extensive, clear and objective comments to replication codes.

Enable access to databases and codes through the journal’s page on the Dataverse website or another similar platform.

In order to allow replication, authors who do not use statistical software which enables replication through codes must describe the development of analyses step-by-step.

Manuscripts based on surveys must also supply the questionnaire used for data collection.

For qualitative databases, the following recommendations apply:

If your article is based on in-depth interviews, you should provide their full transcription, except when information is classified or may break with interviewees’ necessary anonymity.

If your paper is based on scanned historical documents, provide scanned files in readable resolution, duly identified or accompanied by links to their virtual sources.

If your paper is based on the analysis of texts and/or digital documents, provide scanned files in readable resolution, duly identified or accompanied by links to their virtual sources.

Authors must present each and every additional material which they deem relevant for the article’s replication.

Authors who fail to meet any of these requirements must provide reasonable justification, to be evaluated by the editors.

We encourage authors who may have previously published in DADOS to publish their databases.
