Daftar Isi:
- This article’s main goal is to analyze the editorial and publishing practices on 43 scientific Portuguese magazines on Social Sciences, based upon the declarations published on the pages of the studied magazines. This study expresses a research of the level of accomplishment achieved by these magazines of international normative parameters regarding the publishing of articles in periodic publications, in order to establish a profile of these magazines and take a first step to improve their editorial quality, considering that normalization is truly an indispensable factor to assure the success on the process of scientific information transfer. First, the study evaluates the magazines by examining the accomplishment of the 58 normative parameters provided by the magazine to their authors. Then, in order to identify more accurately the Peer Review Policies of the magazines under study, inquiries were sent to the 43 directors of these publications so they could perform their own self evaluation. The common profile of these magazines is that they have an adult target, most of them are sponsored by universities, they are mainly published in Lisbon, with a wide range of periodicity (semester/trimester) and they reflect a considerable gap between their practices and the instructions given to the authors. In general, these magazines do not conform to the international norms of periodical publications’ publishing and they show a low level of normative quality on their editorial process. The normalization level achieved in the 58 analyzed parameters on the 43 Portuguese magazines is 28%. Therefore, this study ends suggesting a series of measures that can improve the magazine’s normative quality, leading them to a new life cycle: the improvement of professional skills and internationalization.
