About the Journal

Focus and Scope -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Educação Matemática Debate, eSSN 2526-6136, is a journal edited by the Mathematics Education Research Group (GPEMat) and the Mathematics Education Curriculum Research Group (GPCEEM), linked, respectively, to the Universide Estadual de Montes Claros (Unimontes) and the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP). Its aim is to contribute to reflection and to promote knowledge sharing about the teaching and learning of Mathematics, about different elements regarding the professional development of teachers and about epistemological, philosophical, didactic, methodological and conceptual aspects of Mathematics and Mathematics Education. It also has the objective of disseminating processes and results of research as well as experiences related to pedagogical practices focused on analyzing theorization in the field of Mathematics Education.

The project prioritizes scientific articles on Mathematics Education that have never been published in Brazil and articles that engage a conversation between this area and other correlated areas. We accept articles that present results of empirical or theoretical research and critical, systematic and integrative reviews of scientific and academic papers on Mathematics Education.

Texts can be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. Moreover, according to our Editorial Council's criteria, the journal publishes dossiers or special issues are published aimed at reviewing areas or analyzing emerging issues in educational research.

Peer review process --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All papers submitted for publication will be sent to two or more members either of the Advisor Board or a Committee of ad hoc Representatives. The choice of reviewers are made at the discretion of the editors who take into account the approach of the article, the specific technical competence of the reviewers and absences of conflicts of interest. The evaluation is done by pairs, using a double-blind format, and can result in three situations: Accept (publication as presented); Revision required (with adjustments); and Reject (refusal to post). When submitting articles, the authors will be contacted after evaluation, and will be informed about the final decision regarding the text submitted and the process for publication.

The Editors will issue an official notice (letter or specific electronic message) only when the submitted article has already processed and received definitive opinions (approval or disapproval).
