About the Journal
Entrepalavras, a journal linked to the Department of Vernacular Languages and the Graduate Program in Linguistics (MA and PhD) at the Federal University of Ceará, is an academic-scientific journal dedicated to publishing original and unpublished works of interest to linguistics, whether theoretical or applied, produced by undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students from Brazilian or foreign universities.
Original, unpublished works that fit the journal's editorial policy and fall into the following categories may be submitted for publication:
- original articles (presentation of unpublished scientific research results);
- reviews (books published in their first edition no more than four years ago);
- translations (articles or essays that contribute to linguistics, accompanied by authorization from the author/original journal).
Submissions must be made through the system. To do so, interested authors must register and submit their work.
Manuscripts approved upon submission (desk review) are evaluated by members of the Advisory Board and, eventually, by ad hoc consultants in a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of the authors and reviewers are kept confidential. Approved works are reviewed by a team of reviewers for formal adjustments and published in continuous flow in a single volume (starting in 2025).
Open Access Policy
This journal offers immediate open access to its content, with no embargo period and no registration required. The journal is classified as “diamond open access (Diamond OA)” because the research results are openly available, with no fees charged to authors or readers.
Entrepalavras thus complies with the DOAJ definition of open access:
"...journals in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to others using an open license (Creative Commons or equivalent), allowing immediate free access to the work and allowing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or create links to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose."
