Policies
Open access
RBI is an open access journal and adopts the Budapest Open Access Intitative (BOAI) definition.
According to this definition, the journal's content is freely available on the public internet. Users are free to to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
RBI uses the CC BY 4.0 license, corresponding to the definition above. Copyright and publishing rights belong to the authors. Additional permissions must be requested from the authors.
Publication
RBI is published annually and adopts a continuous publishing model, in which individual articles are published online as they become available. There is no fee charged to authors to publish with RBI.
Peer review
RBI adopts a double-blind peer review system. Alternatively, the Journal accepts submissions of articles deposited as preprints.
Editorial review process
- Initial review All contributions are analyzed by the Editorial Board of the Brazilian Journal of Intelligence to reach a preliminary decision on whether the work adheres to the journal's editorial policy and to check its scientific consistency and preliminary correctness of the writing. This process is commonly known as Desk Review.
- Similarity check Papers approved in the first stage are submitted to similarity (plagiarism) detection mechanisms. This involves identifying parts of the manuscript that have been previously published, even if modified by the collaborator or others.
- Scientific arbitration Contributions approved in the second stage go through a double-blind scientific arbitration process. The referee can recommend full acceptance, acceptance with modifications or rejection of the manuscript. If rejected, the manuscript cannot be resubmitted to the Brazilian Journal of Intelligence, even with modifications. This process is commonly known as Peer Review.
Digital preservation
To ensure the preservation of the collection, RBI uses the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), through the OJS platform.
