Editorial Policy

GOOD EDITORIAL PRACTICES

RDAS seeks to comply with the criteria established by the Ministry of Education and the Foundation for the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel of Brazil, especially with regard to the provisions of Ordinance No. 145/2021, which consolidates the provisions on Qualis Periodicals.

At an international level, RDAS is also concerned with complying with all requirements of good editorial practices, using as a reference the criteria available at COPE (publicationethics.org).

PUBLICATION CRITERIA

UNPUBLISHED

RDAS only publishes unpublished articles. Texts submitted for publication cannot be available in any other media, including institutional repositories.

When submitting an article to RDAS, the author formally undertakes not to submit it, at the same time, to another journal or event, under penalty of exclusion from the system and prohibition of new submissions for an indefinite period.

The preliminary analysis of the articles is carried out by the editors in a desk review. This phase respects the chronological order of submission and emphasizes compliance with technical standards, RDAS guidelines and thematic adequacy to the editorial policy. Given the requirement of originality, plagiarism and self-plagiarism are also checked. In addition, content generated by Artificial Intelligence - AI is checked. Based on the results, the Editor has the autonomy to reject the article preliminarily or forward it for evaluation.

AUTHORSHIP

Articles must be written by a maximum of three authors, at least one of whom must have a doctorate degree and, preferably, be affiliated with a Master's and/or doctorate institution in Law or in areas related to environmental issues.

As for the other co-authors, the journal prioritizes the presence of doctors and doctoral students. The presence of co-authors who are masters, master's students, graduates or undergraduates is not a priority, but is permitted, as long as one of the authors has a doctorate degree.

RDAS adopts the criterion of a high degree of exogeny of its authors (minimum of 75%). In other words, in the formation of an edition, priority is given to the publication of at least 75% of articles whose authorship is by:

a) authors not belonging to the UCS Graduate Program in Law;

b) authors not belonging to the Editorial Board or the board of reviewers;

c) authors not linked to institutions in the State of Rio Grande do Sul;

d) authors who have not yet published in RDAS, to avoid excessive repetition of authorship. For this reason, the editors and the Editorial Board reserve the right not to publish approved texts immediately, considering criteria such as the maximum number of articles per volume and exogeny and endogeny criteria.

IMPORTANT: To monitor the editorial flow of your submission, access the system. If you have any questions, please contact the editorial team.
