About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Electronic Journal History in Reflection (REHR) is an A2 publication (Quadrennial Evaluation 2021-2024) of Master's and Doctoral students from the Postgraduate Program in History at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (PPGH-UFGD).

REHR receives contributions on a continuous basis and aims to disseminate academic works developed in the field of History that allow reflection on historical practice, as well as its relations with Literature, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, Linguistics, Education, among others, in order to provide a better understanding of History studies and promote interdisciplinarity. Furthermore, it does not privilege a specific theme, as it provides for the publication of original works.

The Electronic Journal History in Reflection is intended for both undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in the published works, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate professors. We accept submissions in Portuguese, English, and Spanish in the form of articles, interviews, book reviews, commentaries on unpublished sources, extended abstracts of undergraduate theses, dissertations and theses, free texts, iconographic and audiovisual production, and short notes.

By submitting a publication proposal, the author(s) automatically agree to the transfer of copyright to the journal and attest to the originality of the text. Articles from authors affiliated with other institutions (external to UFGD) will be prioritized.

Peer Review Process

After a preliminary evaluation analyzing the suitability to the journal's focus and scope and compliance with author guidelines by the Editorial Team, the texts will be submitted to at least two reviewers, who will receive the texts without identifying the author. If there is disagreement between the reviewers regarding acceptance, the work will be sent to the other reviewer.

Publication of the work may be conditional upon adjustments requested by the Editorial Board and/or reviewers. The final decision regarding the acceptance of the work and the fulfillment of requested adjustments (when applicable) will be made by the REHR Editorial Team.

All published works are the sole responsibility of their authors; the submission of these works implies the granting of copyright related to this publication.

Authors will receive updates on the progress of the work from the Editorial Board, and the names of the reviewers will always remain confidential, except at the authors' request.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to decide on the appropriateness of publications.
