Inspired by the global Open Science movement, which aims to make scientific research more transparent, collaborative, and accessible to everyone, this edition of "Sexta do Mês" (Friday of the Month) will feature a meeting to share experiences related to the process of writing editorials for scientific journals, as well as the entire mechanism that drives and sustains a journal and the dialectical feedback between editors, authors, and readers. Scientific journals function not only as repositories of research output but also play a fundamental role in the democratization and circulation of new knowledge and new researchers, especially the excellent anthropological journals located in the South-Southeast region. This panel will address the different editorial policies adopted by the journals to which the invited editors are affiliated, as well as the contemporary challenges faced by journals regarding scientific dissemination and communication.
