1. ABOUT THE PUBLICATIONS

For publication in Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito, scholarly articles will be evaluated through a double-anonymized review system, in which two CONSINTER Referees shall evaluate the manuscripts without knowing the authors’ identities. The evaluated and approved texts, for publication in Europe by Editorial Juruá Lda., and in Brazil by Juruá Editora Ltda., shall be subject to the following criteria:

FOR THE JOURNAL “REVISTA INTERNACIONAL CONSINTER DE DIREITO”

By the requirements of national and international research and teaching agencies and institutions, which evaluate the academic and research output of Graduate Courses, CONSINTER Executive Coordination, in its best judgment, shall select the number of approved articles that will be awarded publication at Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito, with an ISSN assigned in Portugal. More:

a) Each article selected for Revista Internacional do CONSINTER de Direito – Qualis A3 shall be assigned a specific and unique registration number in the DOI System (Digital Object Identifier).

b) A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) shall also be assigned to Revista Internacional do CONSINTER de Direito – Qualis A3.

c) All articles published in Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito – Qualis A3 are available free of charge on the Revista CONSINTER’s website https://revistaconsinter.com/edicoes-anteriores/.

f) CONSINTER uses the Open Journal Systems Platform – OJS for article submission, which aims to streamline the editorial management process, a tool that assists the editorial process of receiving articles, communicating with authors, and automating peer and anonymous review, giving greater credibility to CONSINTER’s official works within the scientific community.

Given the technical standards for the journal qualification, only approved articles in which at least one of the authors and/or authors holds a Doctorate title can be selected for the Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito – Qualis A3.

The Organizing Committee shall decide on the indication and number of the Journal in which the approved article shall be published, as well as the submission requirements, observing the exogeny of the authors.

The indication considers numerous factors, including the chronological order of receipt and the return dates after corrections have been made when requested, among other criteria.

The publication date of the article is not linked to the call notice’s date, nor to the event’s, and may be published after those.

NOTE: To present the article orally during this year’s event, interested parties must pay the additional participation/presentation fee available on the CONSINTER website within sixty (60) days before the event.

v) Noting that CONSINTER is a non-profit organization, the registration/submission fee subsidizes the publication of articles in Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito – QUALIS A3. The submission/registration fee is individual and exclusive to each author. Therefore, each author must register and pay the corresponding fee.

Ex: To submit a co-authored article with two authors, it is necessary to register and pay the submission fee for each of them.

w) An author can insert as many articles as they wish on the OJS platform; however, they must pay the registration/submission fee for each article submitted. Payment must be made by the author for each article submitted.

y) Given the technical standards for the journal qualification, only approved articles in which at least one of the authors and/or authors holds a Doctorate title can be selected for the Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito – QUALIS A3. Duly approved articles that do not meet this requirement will be published in the CONSINTER Direito e Justiça book.

NOTE: The indication considers numerous factors, from the chronological order of the receipt to the return dates after corrections have been made when requested, among other criteria.

The publication date of the article is not linked to the call notice’s date, nor to the event’s date, and may be published after those.

z) In compliance with the qualification standards, only one article by each author may be released for publication in the Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito – QUALIS A3. If two or more articles by the same author are approved for the Journal, the evaluation committee will, in its best judgment, select one for publication in the Journal. The others will be directed for publication in the Direito e Justiça book or for publication in upcoming issues of the Journal.

→ Articles that do not meet the following standards shall be disqualified

[1] IDENT ART – abbreviation for identified article.

[2] Author – name of the author of the article, stating the first name when there is only one author and, or first and last name when it is a co-authored article.

[9] It is critical that the author clearly and unequivocally informs MANDATORILY the possible use of generative artificial intelligence tools during the text preparation.

[10] Generative artificial intelligence resources should be limited to improving the clarity, cohesion and linguistic quality of the manuscript. The final responsibility for the content lies exclusively with the authors, since such tools cannot be recognized as authors or co-authors – attributions that require skills and responsibilities inherent to human beings.

[11] Even if they have not used such resources, the author must expressly state that they have not used Generative Artificial Intelligence tools.

7.ABOUT THE ARTICLE REVIEW

Scientific articles shall be reviewed by the CONSINTER Board of Referees, composed exclusively of renowned legal scholars, of both national and international standing, holding doctoral and post-doctoral degrees, who have been specially invited. Scientific articles will be evaluated by a double-anonymized review system, in which two CONSINTER Referees will evaluate the works without any authorship identification.

The unnamed appraisal of scientific articles ensures impartial judgment and reduces subjectivity and ideological bias. Thus, the author should avoid direct references to themselves and quotations that make it possible to extract their authorship from the text.

If the scientific article is accepted by one of CONSINTER’s Referees and disapproved by another, the text may be submitted to a third Referee at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

a) The content of scientific articles is the sole responsibility of the authors and once submitted for evaluation may not be replaced or altered, unless requested by the Board of Referees;

b) Plagiarism or the insertion of verbatim copies, even of the author himself, is not allowed, unless there is a correct citation, which disqualifies plagiarism.

b) Strict adherence to the Rules for writing articles (the criteria outlined in item 05 of this document must be met);

c) Plagiarism check;

d) Relevance, topicality, and originality of the chosen topic;

e) Depth of approach to the chosen topic;

f) Appropriate methodology for developing the chosen topic;

g) Innovation brought about by the approach;

h) Writing quality;

i) Compliance with the rules set out in the call.

j) Suitability of the article to the scope of the Journal;

k) Relevance of the title to the content proposed by the author;

11. STATEMENT ON THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING

Considering that the use of generative artificial intelligence tools in writing must be declared with complete transparency, the author needs to state whether they have used these resources during the process of writing the text.

The use of generative AI-based writing assistants should be restricted to improving the clarity, cohesion, and linguistic quality of the text. The final responsibility for the content lies exclusively with the authors, since such tools cannot be recognized as authors or co-authors – attributions that require skills and responsibilities inherent to human beings.

This requirement applies only to the drafting phase of the manuscript and does not cover the use of AI for data analysis or for extracting insights during research.

Finally, it is essential to include, via a footnote on the first page of the article, immediately below the curriculum, whether or not generative artificial intelligence tools were used in the preparation or enhancement of the manuscript.
