The editorial committee of the Revista Estudos Feministas decided to use the feminine as the standard for the texts of editorial norms and policies. This decision took into account the accessibility of the texts for people with visual impairment and as an affirmative action to value the writing of women, who are the majority of REF collaborators. We hope that everyone feels included in this language. Created in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the Revista Estudos Feministas, published at the Federal University of Santa Catarina since 1999, is a quarterly scientific journal that publishes original texts in the form of articles, essays and reviews, on gender, feminisms and sexualities, both related to a given discipline and interdisciplinary in its methodology, theorization and bibliography. It aims to disseminate the vast production of knowledge in these fields of study and seeks to offer subsidies to theoretical debates in the area, as well as analytical instruments that can contribute to the practices of women's, feminist, gender and sexualities social movements. REF is structured in the following sections: Articles, Thematic Articles, Point of View, Thematic Section, Dossier, Debate and Reviews. The Dossiers alternate their publication with the Thematic Sections and the Debate Section. The Point of View section houses essays and interviews. Publishing a volume with three annual issues, REF is a journal of national and international circulation, being an important reference in Brazil and Latin America. It accepts original texts in continuous flow in the following languages: Portuguese, Spanish and English. (more information in the section policy and in the "Guidelines for Authors"). IMPORTANT: The Revista Estudos Feministas does not accept articles and essays that are already being considered for other publications or that have already been published in other journals or books. The Editorial Board encourages authors to make use of the SciELO Preprints platform before submitting the article for evaluation in the journal. In this case, when submitting to the REF, the authors must communicate that the article was previously available on the SciELO Preprint platform.
