STATUTE AND BYLAWS

INTRODUCTION

This document regulates the Statute and Internal Rules of Revista Verde - Green Journal , founded on the initiative of the Escola Verde Program and the Research Group on Interdisciplinary Environmental Education, which are linked to the Federal University of Vale do São Francisco (UNIVASF), University of Pernambuco (UPE), State University of Bahia (UNEB), Faculty of Petrolina (FACAPE) and Federal Institute of Sertão Pernambucano ( IFSertãoPE ).

Revista Verde - Green Journal was created in October 2021, with the aim of being an international scientific publication, edited by the Escola Verde Program and the Research Group on Interdisciplinary Environmental Education, to contribute to the dissemination of new academic and scientific discussions, results of extension activities and research related to socio-environmental issues and environmental sustainability.

The focus of the magazine is socio-environmental issues, as well as the major academic, technical and political debates around these issues. The magazine's approaches are plural, interdisciplinary or specific to an area, as long as they address essential dimensions of sustainability and encourage interdisciplinary thinking.

From this perspective, the magazine intends to contribute to the process of strengthening a space for academic and political dialogue and the exchange of ideas, collaborating with the elaboration of public policies in favor of sustainability in Brazil and in the world.

The goal is to constitute a scientific journal of impact and academic excellence and social relevance, in Brazil and internationally.

JUSTIFICATION

The challenge of presenting the public with a magazine of quality in its content and format were factors that motivated the professors and researchers, members of the Escola Verde Program, to gather strength for the launch of Revista Verde - Green Journal and for it to have reach and regularity in the publications. edits.

We take as a reference the definition of journal, or scientific journal, given by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), as a serial publication, arbitrated and aimed primarily at the academic-scientific community, framed in the norms of the American Psychological Association ( APA ) .

The Green Journal - Green Journal seeks to be in line with the main indexes in the world that classify journals based on criteria and parameters related to the amount of access, the knowledge disseminated and the impact of articles published in international academic communities. For Brazil, the two main indexes that will be sought for the institutionalization of Revista Verde - Green Journal are Qualis, from Capes, and the Online Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO), whose international recognition serves as a parameter.

BRIEF HISTORY

Revista Verde - Green Journal was born from the experience and reflections that have been carried out, within the scope of the Green School Project, with the interdisciplinary activities of Environmental Education, which have been developed since 2011 together with Higher Education Institutions, basic education schools , communities and other institutions, especially in the municipalities of Vale do São Francisco, Petrolina (PE) and Juazeiro (BA).

The search for knowledge and transformation of realities has always been a strong motivation present in the actions of the Escola Verde Program, through research and mobilizations developed since its foundation in 2011. Factor that forms the fundamental basis on which the formulation of the proposal of Revista Verde is based - Green Journal .

In this process, the activities developed for the organization and realization of the five editions of the Brazilian Congress of Interdisciplinary Environmental Education (COBEAI), as well as other academic events and publications of books, articles, theses and dissertations, by professors and students, in the scope of the Green School Program.

As we move forward in mobilizing knowledge and promoting new ideas about socio-environmental phenomena, we observe that such knowledge tends to remain restricted to academic events, books and other publications that limit the reach of interdisciplinary debate due to the editorial lines set in areas knowledge specific.

Noting these difficulties and limitations in publishing scientific papers on environmental issues from an interdisciplinary perspective, the members of the Escola Verde Program decided to commit efforts to founding Revista Verde - Green Journal in the second half of 2021, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the project.

GOAL

The main goal of Revista Verde - Green Journal is to become a national and international reference in the systematic publication of scientific works on socio-environmental themes in an interdisciplinary perspective.

We hope that our journal will be indexed in SciELO and reach the A2 classification in Qualis, in 2026, and A1 in 2031. For this, we concentrated efforts on the institutionalization and strengthening of the journal.

We seek to reduce academic endogeneity as much as possible, inviting new members to the Scientific Advisory Board, of which at least 40% must be linked to foreign entities. At the same time, we intend to gradually increase the number of articles per issue to ensure at least 40 articles per year by 2023, of which 40% must be published in English and/or Spanish.

To improve and expand the journal's indexing, all publications will have Digital Object Indentifier -DOI and will follow the parameters and nomenclatures established by SciELO ; in addition to adapting the journal, in the medium term, to the international system of citation metrics.

Some editions may be released at national and international Congresses held by the Green School Program or similar.
