Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts can be submitted either in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The texts should be accompanied by an abstract in the same language (up to 150 words) providing a clear summary of the objectives, methods used and main conclusions of the work, besides keywords (three to five) and title.

The texts should have a title page. On this page the author should inform their institutional ties, according to the journal’s model: full name of university or research institute and, between parentheses, its acronym, dash, city of the institution, country, e-mail. Example: Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil - xxxxx@ufrj.br

The author’s name should not be in the body of the text, thus ensuring anonymity in the evaluation and selection process.

The titles of books and journals mentioned in the body of the text should be in italics, as well as the foreign words and highlights by the author.

Images and/or figures should be sent in png or jpeg format. If the article includes graphs, the respective spreadsheets that were their source should also be sent (in a separate file).

If the article is the result of funded research, add a short footnote - to the title - indicating funding according to the rules of the funding institution or agency.

Footnotes should be numbered consecutively at the end of each page, including only additional comments regarding the text.

Citations  in the text must follow the (Author, year) standard. In case of direct quotations (Author, year, p. xx) or (Author1, Author2, year, p. xx). If there is more than one work by the same author in a year, it should be accompanied by a sequential letter from the alphabet. Example: Author, 1998a, 1998b).

Artigos

Os artigos originais e inéditos são recebidos em fluxo contínuo e devem refletir a produção acadêmica e científica sociológica e participar no debate acerca da realidade brasileira e mundial contemporâneas, tratando de questões acadêmicas e de natureza didática.

Sociologies in Dialogue

A seção recebe o mesmo nome da revista em inglês da SBS, agora incorporada à RBS. Visa disseminar estudos que contenham análise empíricas e teóricas inovadoras pertinentes para o debate acadêmico internacional. Busca promover diálogos transnacionais e dará preferência a textos resultantes de investigação empírica sobre temas e questões fundamentais da sociologia bem como a contribuições ao debate atual sobre a teoria social.

Dossiê Capitalismo de Plataforma

This dossier aims to gather studies focused on Latin American countries that make it possible to know the extent and diffusion of the market for digital work platforms; the types of work that are being disseminated by such platforms; the justifications presented socially by workers who enter such activities; the working conditions and income levels encountered by these workers and forms of subordination to platform-companies; the forms of action and organization that have been undertaken with a view to inaugurating a cycle of conquering rights.

Dossiê Imagens na Era Digital

By proposing dialogues between the fields of Digital Sociology and the Sociology of Images, this dossier will bring together essays and articles from the Social Sciences that address images in digital media as objects of investigation constituent of the reality as we know and experience it, encompassing: networks of meanings that their different modalities mobilize; how they express power relations; the forms of valuation and legitimation that they imply, as well as the conflicts that are inherent to them in the social construction of reality.

Dossiê Circulação intelectual entre França e Brasil

The objective of this dossier is to bring together empirical research that deals with intellectual circulation between France and Brazil in the social and human sciences. The aim is, through specific case studies, to explore the dynamics of circulation, the asymmetries of power and the ways such transits are given new meanings in their respective national contexts.

Dossier Metamorphoses and Transformations of Sociology

In this dossier, we will accept articles that address these issues based on:

  1. a) specific themes that are the objects of theoretical and conceptual controversies, for example, the understanding of the canon or classics of sociology, the diagnoses of crisis or fragmentation of the discipline; the problems concerning the place of criticism and normativity in sociological research.
  2. b) important concepts for this debate, such as crisis, critique, society, solidarity, axiological neutrality, etc;
  3. c) evaluation of the contribution of a theory, a theoretical movement, a specific author or author in a comparative perspective;
  4. d) themes, authors and contributions from peripheral or semi-peripheral regional contexts.

Dosssiê Precariedades Contemporâneas

The purpose of this dossier is to discuss contemporary precariousness represented by the capitalist transformations of recent decades, which have threatened the forms of social solidarity by exacerbating individualism and the entrepreneurialization of social institutions. Such precariousness is accompanied by technological changes that, although expanding the horizons of human life, also become a threat to human existence by depleting natural resources, the results of which can be seen in global warming and other environmental consequences we are currently experiencing. We intend to debate the general issue of life precariousness, through articles that highlight this process in work, education, health, politics, in short, in all dimensions of social life.
