Brazilian Journal of Science and Technology

Brazilian Journal of
Science and Technology
The Brazilian Journal of Science and Technology is a brand new peerreviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen.
The Brazilian Journal of Science and Technology showcases research in
the broad field of science and technology (including such disciplines as
Agriculture, Biotechnology, Energy Policy, Environmental Studies,
Materials Science, and Sustainable Development), with particular respect
to Brazil and greater Latin America, but not limited to authorship or topical
coverage within the region. The journal explores the dynamics of
Research & Development (R&D) under a wide perspective, including not
only an emphasis on dissemination of research findings, but also on policymaking and economic growth.

Contributions are expected from senior researchers, project managers,
research administrators and PhD students at advanced stages of their
research, representing both public organizations and private industry.
Similarly, the journal is intended for scholars and students, staff working at
research organizations and government agencies, and also for enterprises
undertaking applied R&D to drive innovations. The journal provides a
unique platform for both contributors and readers since it focuses on the
substantial potential of R&D in a rapidly growing region, with implications
for other emerging regions around the world.
The journal will occasionally produce special issues on state-of-the-art,
interdisicplinary themes that are mainstream in Brazil and elsewhere.
As far as the criteria for evaluating and accepting submissions is
concerned, a rigorous review process will be used. Submitted papers will,
prior to the formal review, be screened so as to ensure their suitability and
adequacy to the journal. In addition, an initial quality control will be
performed, so as to ensure matters such as language, style of references
and others, comply with the journal´s style.
