Brief history Created in 1971, Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas), a publication edited by Fundação Carlos Chagas (São Paulo, Brazil), was a pioneering initiative aimed at developing a communication channel between institutions and groups or people dedicated to educational research. Since then, it has become a scientific journal whose aim is to disseminate academic production in the field of education. A member of SciELO since 2003, Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas) is A1 in Education at Qualis Capes. The journal’s abbreviated title is Cad. Pesqui. (Fund. Carlos Chagas), which should be used in footnotes and bibliographical references.

Compliance with open science The journal has been progressively implementing practices aligned with the principles of open science: free access to its content; continuous flow of publication; acceptance of submission of manuscripts deposited in preprints servers; and declaration and publication of research data associated with the text, through data repositories recommended by SciELO. In addition, the Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas) editorial team recognizes the importance of the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. As a result, it has gradually increased its attention to transparency in its processes and to the social markers that characterize human differences throughout the editorial process adopting conduct aligned with the democratization of access to scientific knowledge in the field of education – respecting the focus and scope of the journal – as well as the promotion of productions that contribute to social justice, with special attention to gender equity, functional capacities and anti-racism.
