About the Journal
Focus and Scope
EccoS is the scientific-academic publication of the Graduate Program in Education at the Nove de Julho University (PPGE-UNINOVE).
Published since 1999, the magazine has been disseminating original texts produced in the field of social sciences and humanities, with a focus on the area of education.
Since its first edition, it has sought to publish expressive scientific and academic texts (essays or results of empirical research and reviews) on educational matters, seeking to maintain the collaboration of a wide variety of authors, from the most diverse national and foreign education and research institutions.
Initially, the EccoS was published every six months, with only two numbers per year. As of 2012, it became quarterly, therefore, with three annual issues, and in 2019 it managed to become quarterly, with four annual issues. Finally, starting in July 2020, it became another Brazilian journal in the area of education with periodicity in continuous flow, according to the recommendations of the most recognized indexers in the area. In 2014, it started to be edited, preferably, in the online version, and could be printed on special occasions.
In order to keep up with the reflections on the most significant problems of the current circumstances and advances in pedagogical science, EccoS orders referential texts from renowned authors in the mentioned areas of knowledge, to publish them in the form of dossiers, in addition to articles and reviews collected from spontaneous demands. As of 2020, it will publish the abstracts of doctoral theses and post-doctoral research defended in the PPGE-Uninove.
EccoS aims to contribute to the dissemination of academic and scientific works that enroll in the field of educational sciences, offering free and immediate access to all its content through the portal www.revistaeccos.org.br, under the guideline of the wide and unrestricted knowledge socialization.
Throughout its history, EccoS has sought to guarantee the institutional diversity of its authors and the presence of researchers from different institutions in all regions of Brazil, as well as renowned foreign HEIs, avoiding endogeny.
More recently, it was decided that, in addition to the official language of EccoS, Portuguese, texts could be submitted and published in other languages: German, Spanish, French, English and Italian. The texts of articles and reviews are submitted exclusively through the Journal's portal.
