INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

• Scope and editorial policy

The Revista Brasileira de Ciências Sociais publishes articles and reviews in the Social Sciences fields.  The journal has consolidated its performance as one of the main Brazilian publications in the area of social sciences, reaching a wide thematic and conceptual diversity. It publishes not only Brazilian authors, but also contributions of renowned foreigner social scientists.

Spontaneous presentations of any contributions automatically implicate the full cession of the copyright to ANPOCS. The journal will not return the originals to authors.

Articles should include an abstract and keywords, as well as author identification (institution, position, fields of interest, recent publications etc.).
