Manuscripts must be original and unpublished and are expected to make a contribution to the scientific community.

Manuscripts submitted to other journals or presented in full in scientific events will not be accepted. Only those who have been presented partially, such as "short papers" or abstracts, may be accepted, provided that they are rewritten, extended and significantly modified, so as to be considered unpublished in relation to the first.

The texts can be written in Portuguese, Spanish, English or French.

Formatting and extension

Submitted articles, data artycle, essays and case studies must be 8 to 20 pages in length and must follow the specifications provided in their respective template, mainly as regards the abstract and citations (references) and the text formatting (Arial font, 12-point size, justified alignment and 1.5 line spacing). The use of the template itself is mandatory for submission; it can be applied after the manuscript is approved.

Files must be in DOC, DOCX, Open Office or RTF format.

In the case of the Data Article, the dataset can be made available in two ways:

  • Forwarding, together with the article, the compressed file in .zip format, containing the research data, which must be in its roughest state having as main formats (CVS, JSON, XML, ODS, RDF, etc.).
  • The data can be hosted in a public repository, so it must be indicated in the data article, Name of the repository, Data identification number and direct URL to the data.

Ensure that the document does not contain any comment or data that can identify the authors in the manuscript.

Case Study

Text resulting from the presentation of a professional experience, based on concrete case studies and bringing remarks that are of interest to the professional activity in the field. 

Data Articles

A Data Article is a searchable metadata document, which describes a specific data set, or a group of data sets, published as a peer-reviewed article in an academic journal.

Dossier: News scenarios of the Digital Society and the challenges of Generative Artificial Intelligence

• Case Studies: Detailed investigations into specific applications of generative AI in social and cultural contexts, such as the arts, literature, or media, revealing new dynamics in content creation and consumption. • Critical Analyses: Reflections on the ethical and moral implications of generative AI development and usage, including debates on privacy, bias, and the autonomy of intelligent systems. • Systematic Reviews: Compilations summarizing existing literature on the social and cultural influence of generative AI, identifying trends, gaps, and opportunities for future research. • Empirical Research: Studies based on surveys, interviews, or data analysis examining how perceptions and attitudes toward generative AI vary among different demographic and cultural groups. • Interdisciplinary Comparisons: Works that analyze the impact of generative AI from multiple disciplines, providing a rich understanding of its cross-cutting role in society.
