About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Revista Poiésis is a semiannual, open-access publication of the Graduate Program in Contemporary Studies of the Arts of the Universidade Federal Fluminense. Acting in the expanded field of arts, Revista Poiésis aims to publish articles, artworks, translations, and reviews that deal in a substantive way with issues related to the production of the arts and critical thinking in contemporary times. According to its editorial policy, Poiesis prioritizes the publication of unpublished works resulting from research carried out primarily in the academic field, without excluding research, productions, and practices that occur in other scenarios.
With this policy, Revista Poiésis seeks to act as an articulator and propeller of the ideas that guide the Graduate Program in Contemporary Studies of the Arts of the Universidade Federal Fluminense, committed to the training of artists, teachers, educators, historians, and theorists in the field of arts from the political and conceptual perception that, in the everyday environments of contemporary culture, reflections and practices around the artistic phenomenon need to be articulated through different spheres of knowledge, permeated by different disciplines.
The journal began to be published at the end of the year 2000 (ISSN 1517-5677) and in 2008 it gained an electronic version available online (ISSN 2177-8566). Since 2016, the journal is published only on the electronic portal of the Universidade Federal Fluminense on the Internet. Counting on the collaboration of professors-researchers from Brazilian and foreign universities (ad hoc referees), Poiésis adopts a double-blind evaluation. In addition, Revista Poiésis uses plagiarism detection features in the material submitted for publication in order to avoid practices that are not suitable for academic production.

Peer Review Process

Continuing the evaluation process, ad hoc reviewers may accept, refuse or suggest changes to the author (s). If there are significant disagreements between the reviewers' opinions, a third reviewer is asked to collaborate in order to support the final editorial decision.
In addition, Revista Poiésis uses plagiarism detection (CopySpider) features in the material submitted for publication in order to avoid practices that are not suitable for the dissemination of academic production.

Furthermore, as it is a journal published without any financial purpose, which entails exemption from any fee or any other form of monetary involvement in its production processes, and as it is linked to a Brazilian public university, Poiésis Journal is very sensitive and remains attentive to any manifestation or practice that may result in unauthorized commercial use.

In confronting these and other issues related to allegations or evidence of non-compliance with the best ethical practices of research and scientific dissemination, the Revista Poiésis will meet whenever necessary its administrative council, composed of the Editor-in-Chief and the Associate Editors, to examine the issues brought to its attention and to take the necessary and applicable measures.
