INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INOVATION IN MANAGEMENT AND INDUSTRY

The International Journal of Inovation in Management and Industry, published by Fatec Deputado Waldyr Alceu Trigo, Sertãozinho - SP - Brazil, was developed in 2024 and implemented in 2025. It accepts article submissions through a continuous submission system (with no system blockage). Through this method, once submitted, the article undergoes a preliminary evaluation to ensure compliance with the journal’s guidelines, then is forwarded to reviewers and subsequently returned to the authors for necessary corrections. If approved, the corrected version with the authors' names must be uploaded by them into the system. From there, the article proceeds to editing and, later, publication.

Thus, the process will follow the order of submission, evaluation, correction, and upload of the final version at each stage.

The continuous processing of articles after submission will occur during the academic period, in accordance with the academic calendar and the journal’s operating hours, which are linked to the working hours of the journal’s editor-in-chief and the system developer.

Validation of the article as a Graduation Project (TG) – In accordance with CEETEPS-GDS-3015_2021-06-03, an approved article may be validated as a Graduation Project (TG) through the academic office and/or course coordination of the Fatecs, respecting the academic calendar of each institution. However, when this is the author’s intent, the article must be submitted to the journal at least six months in advance to allow sufficient time for processing, editing, publication, and issuance of the declaration in the system. The same applies to other higher education institutions that allow this kind of validation.

The purpose of this journal is to serve as an important platform for critical dialogue and discussion among faculty members, researchers, specialists, and students on topics emerging from the areas defined for the journal. Its academic goal is to foster the production of inter- and multidisciplinary knowledge, progressing from local to regional to national scope, aiming at international reach—initially through internationalization projects developed within Fatec.

Articles may be written in Portuguese or English and are the sole responsibility of the author(s), who must respect copyright laws and ethical principles. Complete articles previously presented at events (congresses, symposiums, etc.) and published in proceedings may be submitted, provided prior authorization has been obtained and the articles have been properly adapted to the journal’s formatting and current ABNT standards. In such cases, this information must be included in a supplementary document at the time of submission and inserted as a footnote in the introduction of the article only in the final version, after approval.

Fast Track

Authors whose articles have been approved and published in the proceedings of the Simpósio de Tecnologia da Fatec Sertãozinho (SITEFA) since 2018 (provided they were not published in another journal) may adapt them to the journal's formatting and current ABNT standards and submit them through the fast track system, indicating the year of publication in Sitefa so the evaluation can be verified. It is important to note that submission through fast track does not imply automatic approval for publication. The article will still undergo evaluation based on the journal’s criteria and the previous Sitefa review.

In all cases (standard submission or fast track), publication rights are reserved to this journal.

Section Policies

The article must align with one of the following areas, aiming to promote the production and dissemination of practical and scientific knowledge and issues related to:

Submissions are accepted at any time and include scientific articles and literature reviews, without author identification in the manuscript (although all authors must be registered in the system at the time of submission). Authors acknowledge that the same content may not be submitted simultaneously to other scientific or technical journals.

Peer Review Process

Initially, articles undergo a preliminary analysis before being forwarded to the Editorial Board. This review considers aspects such as article scope, formatting, presentation according to the journal’s guidelines, correct citation and references, quality of tables and illustrations, among other necessary elements.

If approved at this stage, the Editorial Board and reviewers will then assess methodological coherence, significance of results, consistency of conclusions, and other qualitative and quantitative aspects.

Articles will be sent to at least two reviewers through a double-blind peer review process. These reviewers will not be members of the Editorial Board for the current edition and may include faculty from other institutions, especially when the article originates from internal faculty members.

Periodicity

The journal is an annual publication, with rolling submission and publication.
