About the Journal
Scope
Patrimônio e Memória (Heritage and Memory) is a multidisciplinary academic electronic journal of the Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho", published biannually by the Centro de Documentação e Apoio à Pesquisa (Cedap).
Since its inception in 2005, it has been structured with the aim of reflecting on issues relating to the dimensions of cultural and scientific heritage, in its various forms, based on original and unpublished research. In keeping with its profile as a scientific journal, it publishes texts in Portuguese and in foreign languages (English, French, Spanish and Italian), and has an internal and external Editorial and Advisory Board, as well as ad hoc guests, who provide it with intellectual support and guarantee the quality of the texts published. Therefore, Patrimônio e Memória, in addition to shaping the identity of the Center itself, presents itself as a vehicle for dialogue with other institutions in the field.
As a result of the journal's positive evaluations, both internal to Unesp and external, such as the one carried out by CNPq, Patrimônio e Memória was classified as A3 in the latest Qualis (2017-2020).

Collaborations are also accepted in the fields of Arts, Architecture and Urbanism, Social Sciences and Education, when possible related to the cultural aspects of heritage and memory.

The journal's editorial policy
The original manuscripts received must initially meet the criteria set out in the section below, Form and Preparation of Manuscripts. Once these criteria have been met, the originals will be analyzed by the Editor-in-Chief and forwarded to ad hoc reviewers in accordance with the double-blind peer review system.
The Editor-in-Chief will decide on the suitability of each manuscript submitted, on whether or not to begin the editorial process, and on final acceptance. Manuscripts of articles and reviews submitted to the journal will be sent to at least two anonymous referees.
Contributions will only be accepted from authors with a minimum doctorate degree, in the form of articles, critical comments on sources and documents and interviews, except in the case of reviews, whose authors may have a doctorate in progress.
Submission of a manuscript to the Journal implies that it is original and has not been published before and that it is not being considered for another publication. Manuscripts derived from unpublished dissertations and theses are accepted, but rewriting is expected so that the text is not considered to be self-plagiarized.
Each author can only have one article in process between the start of submission and final publication. There will also be a two-year interval between publication and the start of a new submission process.
The journal does not charge any kind of publication fee.
