Call for papers SBC Reviews
SBC Reviews
on Computer Science (ROCS) - or simply SBC Reviews - is a publication
of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC) that aims to publish comprehensive and
detailed literature reviews on various topics of interest in computing,
offering a channel for the dissemination of high-quality secondary studies and
a reliable source for researchers looking for information about the state of
the art in computer technologies.
Authors are
invited to submit original contributions – written in English – presenting
secondary studies, which will be evaluated taking into account both the rigor
and reproducibility of the selection process of primary works, as well as the
quality and reliability of the analysis of these works. Selected works should
offer a contribution to the target area of the study.
SBC Reviews
operates a single-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of
the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to
authors are anonymous Publication of research articles by SBC Reviews is
dependent primarily on their scientific validity and coherence as judged by our
external expert editors and/or peer reviewers, who will also assess whether the
writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a useful contribution
to the field.
Review: reviews are a feature of the
journal that may include, but are not limited to (1) systematic and substantial
syntheses of specific research areas of Software Engineering, (2) evaluations
of progress in specific areas of Software Engineering, and (3) critical
assessments with respect to issues within the scope of the journal. Contributions that only provide metadata
analysis (e.g., relevant authors, publications density by year, most
influential papers, etc.) are not encouraged.

Authors are
requested to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission
available at: https://sol.sbc.org.br/journals/index.php/reviews. This site will guide authors
stepwise through the submission process. Authors, reviewers, and editors send
and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is
necessary.
All
submissions should be in pdf, following the SBC Reviews LaTeX or MS Word
templates at http://sol.sbc.org.br/public/downloads/Template_SBC_Reviews_1.0.zip. Although we suggest the use of the
template since the first submission, the adherence to the template will be
enforced only upon acceptance.
Submission
of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously
(except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis),
that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its
publication is approved by all authors, if accepted, it will not be published
elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including
electronically without the written consent SBC. When you click on the button “Submit
a paper” all the information about the “Gidelines”
will be available and a quick “Checklist”.
