Fundamental Rights and Democracy - RDFD is an online, open access journal with articles published under a Creative Commons BY, NC, SA license. It is indexed in national and international databases and receives articles, in the continuous flow system, from authors and doctors in cooperation with doctoral students or masters or students.

Every four months, an RDFD proposes to foster academic debate on the theme of Fundamental Rights and Democracy. In pursuit of this goal, the RDFD publishes articles that address issues related to (i) religious, social, economic, political and cultural rights; (ii) the fundamental guarantees; (iii) human dignity; (iv) constitutional, supranational and international jurisdictions; (v) legal hermeneutics; (vi) the political, administrative and judicial organization of the state; (vii) the forms of material and procedural cooperation of the state with local, regional, supranational and international organizations; (viii) the new forms of legal-normative self-regulation; (ix) the themes of pluralism, diversity and identities; (x) transitional justice; (xi) for debates on the challenges of meaningless democracy in the relations between democracy and popular sovereignty, democracy and populism, democracy and authoritarianism, democracy and colonialism, democracy and new technologies, democracy and nationalism, democracy and globalization, democracy and electoral systems, democracy and freedom, democracy and democracy, democracy and affirmative action, democracy and liberalism, democracy and republicanism, democracy and Marxian thinking, democracy and conservative thinking, democracy, state and development, democracy and social movements, democracy and inclusion, democracy and trust and democracy and social reality.

Articles are exclusively used electronically, with no specific field of the RDFD website.

The content of signed articles is the sole responsibility of their authors.

Submitted articles must meet the requirements of being unpublished, originality and importance and are followed by the double blind review procedure. Articles in Portuguese, Spanish, English, Italian or French are accepted.

It is the authors' duty to submit original articles. One of the requirements for article submission is the same as not contained in the other studies already published. In the event of self-plagiarism or improper copying by other authors, the RDFD Editors are free to reject or delete the article already published.

Authors should not submit articles already submitted for review in another journal.

The same research cannot be the subject of selected publication or redundant in several journals without the consent of the editors.

RDFD does not accept preprints.

The indication of authorship of the article should effectively reflect the contribution made to the design, execution or interpretation of the study performed.

Article submission to an RDFD presupposes a dialogue that the author also conducts with texts on the same subject already published by the RDFD. Thus, the author, when choosing an RDFD as the publication vehicle of his production, should verify that the theme of his article has not been analyzed in other editions of RDFD. If so, the author should cite the corresponding articles, either to confirm or to oppose or to be supporting.

Articles must be written in technical language, with a minimum length of 15 pages and a maximum of 30 pages.

Book Reviews cannot exceed a 5-page limit.

Articles will be reviewed by two reviewers, who will consider the following requirements:

1. a) scientific relevance;
2. b) originality of the work in Brazilian and international doctrine;
3. c) theoretical and practical foundation;
4. d) emphasis on the critical character and correlation of the work with the master's concentration area;
5. e) scientific-technical accuracy of the presented content.

Each text will receive an opinion containing the following recommendations:

1. a) apt for publication,
2. b) refuse to publish or
3. c) apt with corrections.

See below for (i) the article submission template; (ii) the model of declaration of originality.
