Authors Guidelines

(Updated June 2021)

*The rules of Boletim do Instituto de Pesca may change. So be sure to check them before making the submission of a new manuscript.

SCOPE

The BOLETIM DO INSTITUTO DE PESCA (BIP), ISSN 1678-2305 (online), an open access Scientific Journal, is intended to publish original documents (Scientific Article and Scientific Note) that contribute to the expansion of knowledge in fisheries (fishing technology, fisheries biology, sociology and economy fishing), aquaculture, aquatic ecology, fish processing technology, pathology of aquatic organisms, limnology, among others areas.

Its impact factor - JIF (2020) = 1.058. 

From 2021, the "Boletim do Instituto de Pesca” will adopt the process of publication in continuous flow (or rolling pass or rolling publishing; a single annual volume). 

EDITORIAL POLICY

All papers submitted to the BIP are evaluated preliminarily by the Editorial Board. The initial selection of manuscripts is performed after evaluation of the adequacy to the norms of submission, originality, quality and scientific merit.

Papers deemed suitable are then sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editorial Board will take care that the reviewers of each article are compulsorily of different institutions of origin of those authors.

The evaluation process used by the Editorial Board of Instituto de Pesca is the system by peers "blind review", i.e., confidentiality of the identity of both authors and reviewers, which will be maintained throughout the process.

The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BULLETIN

The Boletim do Instituto de Pesca will still accept publications in English ONLY.

In case of non-native authors from countries that speak these languages, the article must be reviewed by a specialist. Translation costs will be borne by the authors.

Until 2020, one volume was published annually with 4 issues. Eventually, special volumes were published. From 2021, the "Boletim do Instituto de Pesca” will adopt the process of publication in continuous flow (or rolling pass or rolling publishing; a single annual volume). 

Published papers present results from both fundamental as well as applied or directed research. Emphasis is given to results on interdisciplinary contributions, on innovative methodological or technical developments, on items with wide general applicability, and on local or regional experiments that can be a source of inspirations to other regions.

In terms of editorial management, the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) is used, an editorial system that is used in Brazil under the name of Electronic Journaling System (Sistema Eletrônico de Editoração de Revistas - SEER) customized by the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia í  IBICT).

Manuscript submission should be done ONLY online, by PKP plataform (link: https://institutodepesca.org/index.php/bip/about/submissions).

SUBMISSIONS SENT VIA EMAIL WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

If you have any questions, please contact the Editorial Committee (ceipboletim@gmail.com).

Why to publish in Boletim do Instituto de Pesca?

Open access journals are freely available (full text) via Internet for immediate worldwide access.

The published articles serving the best interests of the international research community. Open access journals are no different from traditional subscription-based journals; they undergo the same peer-review and quality control as any other scholarly journal.

Your article will be peer-reviewed and made available on-line after publication. All interested readers can read, download, and/or print open access articles (or the whole journal) at no cost. Your article can be read by potentially millions of readers (which is incomparable to publishing in a traditional journal) what increases the potential to obtain more citations and consequently an increase on the impact index.

PLAGIARISM POLICY

The Boletim do Instituto de Pesca has a tracking policy for plagiarism.

If a high similarity percentage is detected, the text will be evaluated. After assessing the similarity detected, the paper may be rejected or, if appropriate, returned for adjustments.

This journal aims to publish original high quality research paper. Submission of manuscript to this journal indicates that the study has not been published anywhere or not been submitted elsewhere for publication, except in the preliminary form such as congress resume, thesis, dissertation or part of a published oral presentation.

If author(s) are using any part of published paper (in English or any other language), they should give proper reference or in any case; if required they should get permission from the previous publisher or copyright holder (whichever is suitable). Plagiarized manuscripts would not be considered for publication.

If plagiarism is found in any published paper after internal investigation, a letter would be immediately sent to all the authors, their affiliated institutes and funding agency, if applied and subsequently the paper will be retracted.

The opinions expressed in the articles are the sole responsibility of their authors. The Fisheries Institute Bulletin has the right to make minor adjustments to maintain the uniformity of the publication as long it is communicated and approved by the authors.

The authors should identify the type of manuscript when submitting it for publication (Cover Letter).

However, after evaluating the originals, the reviewers and/or editors can propose another type of publication, if they find it appropriate.

Scientific Article

Paper resulting from scientific research, presenting original data obtained in a planned manner, based on scientifically accepted methods, strictly controlled and appropriate statistical planning that can be replicated and generalized. The discussion should be careful with sound scientific basis; should not be limited to comparisons of the results with the literature, but present inferences, assumptions and arguments about what was studied.

Short Communication

Short article with unprecedented result of scientific research, whose immediate disclosure is justified. Included in this category are significant observations, or exceptional findings of continuing projects that warrant rapid publication (description of a technique, the record of the discovery of a new species, record of parasites in species from a given location, and other unique situations). It must have the same rigor of a scientific article and contain sufficient data to establish that the research has achieved reliable and significant results. Short communications should not be used for preliminary results.

Review Article

Reviews are in depth reviews of a particular topic or field. Only critical review papers will be considered. It should not consist of a summary of published data only (literature review). Critical evaluation of the data, the status of knowledge, and the research required to advance knowledge of the subject are essential. The format and length of review papers are more flexible.
