About the Journal | Revista Baiana de Educação Matemática

Focus and Scope

The Revista Baiana de Educação Matemática (RBEM), associated with the Graduate Program in Education, Culture, and Semi-Arid Territories (PPGESA/UNEB) in partnership with Campus VII of the same university and the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of the Sertão Pernambucano (IF Sertão-PE), Santa Maria da Boa Vista/PE campus, fulfills the role of disseminating works focused on mathematics teachers, their training, school reality and culture, as well as the teaching and learning of this science. The journal accepts manuscripts in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. No article processing charges (APCs) are applied.

Peer Review Process

The peer review process adopted by the Revista Baiana de Educação Matemática follows a double-blind review system. The evaluation will be conducted by reviewers with institutional affiliations different from the authors of the submitted text. If any conflict of interest arises, it must be reported to the editors during submission. In cases of divergent review results, the text will be sent to a third reviewer. The evaluation criteria can be found in the review form.

Periodicity

Since its inception, the Revista Baiana de Educação Matemática has adopted a continuous publication system (rolling pass). In this process, articles are published immediately after approval and layout completion. It is important to note that the final issue, containing the Table of Contents and Editorial, will only be published at the conclusion of the volume.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content, following the principle that making scientific knowledge freely available to the public promotes a greater global democratization of knowledge. Users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or use the content for any lawful purpose, respecting national copyright laws and without the need to seek prior permission from the publisher or author. The opinions expressed in the articles are the responsibility of the authors. The Revista Baiana de Educação Matemática reserves the copyright of the published texts.

Anti-Plagiarism Program

The RBEM uses the CopySpider plagiarism detection software to check the originality of submitted content. A document contains improper copies when it adapts or transcribes excerpts from other documents without providing appropriate citations and references.
