Informações básicas DADOS é uma das principais e mais longevas revistas nas Ciências Sociais no Brasil. Publicada desde 1966, divulga trabalhos inéditos e inovadores, oriundos de pesquisa acadêmica, de autores(as) brasileiros(as) e estrangeiros(as). Com periodicidade trimestral desde 1981 fez parte do primeiro grupo de onze revistas que em 1996 integraram o SciELO – Science Eletronic Library Online, o mais importante veículo de divulgação da ciência brasileira, constituindo-se ainda no primeiro periódico de Ciências Humanas a integrar o projeto. A singularidade de DADOS também é expressiva na atualidade, pois a publicação é uma das poucas revistas brasileiras de Ciências Sociais indexadas na Web of Science (Institute for Scientific Information – Thomson Co.), além de ter sido qualificada como A1 na última atualização do Qualis/CAPES. Editada pelo Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Políticos da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - IESP-UERJ, DADOS recebe artigos durante todo o ano em sistema de fluxo contínuo. É seu objetivo conciliar o rigor científico e a excelência acadêmica com ênfase no debate público a partir da análise de questões substantivas da sociedade e da política. Mais informações sobre a revista podem ser consultadas em seu site. Em 2017 foi lançado um dossiê comemorativo dos 50 anos da revista (1966-2016), com diversas contribuições sobre a trajetória de DADOS, seu perfil disciplinar e temático e seu papel na profissionalização dos periódicos científicos e na construção das Ciências Sociais no Brasil e no restante da América Latina. Em 2022, avançamos nas medidas de transparência e incentivo à diversidade de autoria na publicação e divulgamos um editorial com informações sobre o fluxo de submissões. Além disso, passamos a exigir informações de autodeclaração racial e de gênero nos formulários de envio de artigos. O título abreviado da revista é DADOS, forma que deve ser usada em bibliografias, notas de rodapé, referências e legendas bibliográficas.
