About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Revista Labor’s main objective is to disseminate the knowledge produced by graduate programs in the areas of Education and Teaching Practice. Its mission is to promote the debate on academic research, especially in a critical perspective, publishing original unpublished papers. The magazine is aimed at researchers, teachers and graduate students, as well as professionals in Basic Education, Higher Education and related areas. At least one author is required to be a PhD holder. Undergraduate, specialists and graduate authors or co-authors are allowed to submit papers if accompanied by at least one PhD holder. The procedures for submitting a paper are in the Guidelines for authors.
Dossiers / Thematic Numbers

Revista Labor publishes scientific, review, update and editorial papers.
Blind Peer Review Process
Editors analyze the texts received by the Sistema Eletrônico de Editoração de Revistas (SEER) system, in order to verify whether they meet the standards, the focus and the scope of the Magazine.
After the triage, the editor forwards the paper to two doctoral reviewers from different institutions, registered in SEER, for analysis and review. The invited reviewer must indicate in the system their availability to evaluate the paper and the absence of a conflict of interest. In case of decline, the editor forwards the paper to another reviewer.
The review consists of a brief text with considerations regarding the submission. The final review must present one of the parameters: a) Accepted; b) Mandatory corrections; c) Submit again for evaluation; d) Send to another magazine; e) Reject; f) See comments. Divergent reviews are resolved by sending the paper to a third reviewer. Evaluation requirements: originality, theoretical and methodological consistency, relevance to the area of Education or Teaching Practice, writing in standard language, meeting with the norms of Revista Labor.
The authors receive the result of this stage through the access to the reviews. Approved papers are sent to the editing and publishing department. The author of approved papers with pending items must replace the old file by a new file and send it within the period stipulated by the editor. The changes highlighted in red are evaluated by the editor, who will ultimately decide whether to approve or disapprove. Disapproved papers are rejected in the system.
The anonymity of authors and reviewers is preserved throughout the communication process at SEER.
