About the Journal

Historical Background of the Journal

The Revista Momento was first published in 1983 by the publishing company of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), in Rio Grande, RS, Brazil. It was edited by the Department of Education and Behavioral Sciences (DECC) at the institution up to 2007. It was an annual printed publication. When the Institute of Education was created in 2008, it was re-structured and named Revista Momento - Diálogos em Educação. It has been freely available online since then so as to increase access to its production. It became biannual in 2010 and has been linked to the Post-graduate Program in Education (PPGEDU) at the FURG, since 2012. As the result of the development of the academic community and, consequently, demand of publication of research papers in the field of Education, the journal has been a quarterly publication since 2018. All issues published before 2005 have been digitized in an attempt to recover the memory of the journal and to enable access to the printed issues. From 2005 on, all issues have already been available in a digital format.

Peer Review Process

Manuscripts sent to the Revista Momento - Diálogos em Educação will be submitted to the assessment of two ad hoc reviewers who have Ph. D. degrees. Throughout the review process, neither authors nor reviewers know each other’s names since the journal uses double-blind peer review. Editors are in charge of any information exchange between authors and reviewers and of the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of manuscripts, based on assessments carried out by the latter. In case results differ, the manuscript is sent to the third reviewer.

Results are expressed as: Accept; Requested Revision; Reject. If the manuscript is rejected, it will be sent back to its authors with the justification issued by the editor. If the manuscript is accepted, it will go through revision, editing and publication. In case revision is requested, manuscripts will be sent back to their authors with the reviewers’ comments – asking for adjustments – and deadlines for re-submission. Revised versions with adjustments highlighted in red must be re-submitted by their authors. If deadlines are not met, manuscripts will be filed.     

 

Assessment criteria are:

  1. adherence to the scope of the journal;
  2. relevance and contribution to the field of Education;
  3. intertwinement with previously produced knowledge and originality;
  4. relevant and current references;
  5. clear object of study and justification;
  6. theoretical foundations and methodological rigor;
  7. quality writing which meets requirements of academic publishing;
  8. guarantee of anonymity of authors and institutional affiliations;
