About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Journal of Social Psychology of Work (JSPW) is an on-line, open access, interdisciplinary academic journal which operates in a Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. It aims at promoting scientific production in the fields of Work and Organizational Processes from the Social Psychology perspective, as well as from other fields in humanities and social sciences which fall within the scope of critical perspectives. Priority will be given to contributions that present reflections on concrete situations and propositions that advance in transformation processes towards health promotion and the guarantee of workers' rights. In this sense, Work is considered a central category as well as the Workers’ point of view, marking an epistemological and ethical-political difference from the managerial approaches which consider workers as human resources. This journal welcomes articles based on diverse theoretical readings, original and unpublished, in the following formats: research, intervention and experience reports, as well as theoretical essays. Literature reviews are only accepted when used to support a consistent theoretical discussion. After consultation with the editors, book reviews, translations and interviews may be accepted. The journal’s target audience includes students, academics, researchers, academics and professionals from Psychology and related areas interested in the field of Work and Organizational Processes.

Scientific publication ethics and plagiarism politics

In line with our editorial policy, ethical issues related to scientific plagiarism occupy a central position in the publishing process adopted by the Cadernos de Psicologia Social do Trabalho journal. We understand that intellectual production should be authorial and linked to political positions, even if not at first glance. Any attempts to minimize its importance, including under the appearance of unrestricted scientific neutrality, tend to separate the production and disclosure of knowledge from the social purposes it should meet. If, contradictorily, knowledge can serve both domination and freedom, the reflection expressed in originality and commitment to knowledge for the development of a humanity permeated by fairness and equanimity can help us distinguish between its instrumentalization based on practices that may not be appropriate for scientific purposes and, on the other hand, its critical achievement in favor of freedom of thought.

Inspired by the need for constant reflection, avoiding the trend of reflecting oneself of the automatism of repetition of patterns, Cadernos de Psicologia Social do Trabalho is positioned against the various forms of plagiarism, repudiating any attempts of misappropriating the products of the intellectual work of others. Furthermore, we consider that even self-plagiarism should be rejected when answering to overproduction interests poorly committed to the responsible and necessary development and sharing of knowledge. We recommend that the originality of the studies submitted for assessment/publication is considered regarding both the copyright sources of the developed contents and referred to considering the formal aspects of writing. This implies the need for actual participation of coauthors in coauthored papers be carefully considered, including in cases of participation of advisors and scientific research coordinators. Also, we recommend caution regarding the development of papers derived from academic research of master’s, PhD, post-doctorate, and others, so that the author(s) do not incur in self-plagiarism. Even in cases in which the paper is inspired by or derived from research in the strict sense, it is important that the source of the content, safeguarded the identity of the author(s) during the evaluation process, be properly indicated and the text presented effectively original.

To ensure compliance with such precepts, Cadernos de Psicologia Social do Trabalho takes as inspiration the conduct principles and plagiarism policy drawn up by the Committee on Publications Ethics - COPE (https://publicationethics.org). From 2020, we adopted a specific software, especially the software SimilarityCheck - CrossRef, to prove that there is no textual or content similarity between the material submitted to assessment/publication and other publications, including by the same author(s).
