Focus and Scope
The main focus of the journal is scientific articles from empirical research or a theoretical essay, with themes concerning consumer behavior.
Mission
The CBR aims to expand the dissemination of knowledge about the theories inherent in understanding consumer behavior.
Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
The evaluation process is divided into two phases. The first phase, known as Desk Review, is conducted by the editor-in-chief to verify the suitability of the article to the scope of the journal. At this stage, it is also analyzed the compliance with the standards of formatting and the relevance of the research for publication. The second phase is composed of the double peer review, also known as Double Blind Review, in which reviewers analyze the article without knowing who the authors are. In the same way, the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. Thus, after the evaluation, reviewers may suggest to the editor the following situations: unrestricted approval, approval with modifications, or rejection of the article. The editor-in-chief has the final decision to approve the article for publication.
The option of approval with modifications leads to a new round of evaluation of the reviewers. Finally, the approved work will be forwarded for grammar and spelling corrections.
The CBR also has external reviewers, unrelated to its editorial team and the Federal University of Pernambuco (Brazil), who are researchers of national and international institutions. Each year, a list containing the names of the reviewers will be published along with the last edition of the year. More than 80% of the evaluators are external to UFPE.
The estimated time for the evaluation process is three months.
The evaluation form items can be checked below:
- The theme is relevant and presents a contribution to the area;
- The purpose of the article is written clearly;
- The language of the text is well-written and suitable for scientific work;
- The quotes include the classic and current works on the subject;
- The research method is well structured and allows to reach the research proposal;
- The results are well analyzed and confronted with the theoretical basis;
- The conclusion is concise and highlights the main contribution of the study;
- The research contributes to the development of scientific knowledge in the area of consumer behavior.

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement
Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement
The CBR - Consumer Behavior Review is based on the guidelines for ethical conduct proposed by the Committee on Publications Ethics (COPE) and also follows the guidelines of the manual of good practices, developed by the National Association of Graduate Programs in Administration - ANPAD (Brazil). Thus, the journal adopts measures to curb plagiarism or actions of bad practices (improper conduct), such as manufacturing a database or co-authoring without the effective participation of the co-author. To this end, the responsibilities of the parties involved in the publication will be presented.
Ethical responsibilities of the editorial team (editor / associate editors and board members)
- The editor needs to verify initially whether the text contains plagiarism through the use of software that helps in this identification.
- If the editor receives any complaint that the article is being evaluated in another journal or that the data were manufactured, it is necessary to contact the authors immediately to examine this practice of misconduct.
- When bad practices are identified, or when there is evidence, such as slicing submission of the same research, the authors will be immediately contacted so that they can provide clarifications.
- In cases where bad practices are confirmed, articles will be removed from the evaluation process. And if it is already published, the article will be removed from the edition with the publication of a retraction note for readers.
- The editors of the journal will always be willing to publish clarifications or retractions that are necessary.
- The editorial board of the journal is composed of renowned researchers, from different national and international institutions as a way to guarantee different paradigmatic views of theory and method.
- The editor and the members of the editorial board must not provide information on the submitted articles to anyone other than the authors or reviewers involved in the evaluation process.
- The editor must evaluate the merit of the article for publication in the journal based on the theoretical / empirical contribution, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, or political convictions.
- The journal makes it clear to the authors, in editorial policies, that there is no payment of any fee for submission or publication of articles.
Responsibilities of the authors
- All authors must necessarily have contributed to the research. For this, the journal places a limit of up to four authors, in an attempt to reduce the practices of several authors in the same article, without everyone having actively participated in the construction of the work.
- The participation of a person who is limited to obtaining resources, authorizations for data collection or general supervision of the research group should not justify inclusion as an author in the article.
- People who helped in the construction of the article and who are not authors should be mentioned in the acknowledgment section.
- If necessary, and requested by the editor, the authors must provide explanations, retractions, or corrections of errors.
- At least one author must be responsible for communicating with the editorial board of the journal so that he can meet all the demands necessary for the publication of the article.
- Authors must ensure that all sources used to construct the article have been properly cited.
- Authors who try to circumvent any of the journal's norms, or if plagiarism is found, will have the article rejected for publication.
- If any plagiarism is found after publication, the article will be excluded from the edition and will be marked "Withdrawn because of Plagiarism".
- Authors should not submit the same work to several journals simultaneously.
- If the authors subsequently notice an error in the published article, it is necessary to inform the editor immediately, so that the necessary rectifications or retractions of the document are made.
- Authors must declare whether there is any conflict of interest in the publication. Conflict of interest can be the financial, personal, or professional interest that interferes with the researcher's exemption in the entire research publication process.
Reviewers' responsibilities
- Reviewers should not evaluate articles that have a conflict of interest.
- Reviewers should not use, or take ownership of, the information pertaining to the articles being evaluated and which are not yet effectively published.
- Reviewers should make suggestions for improvements to the authors in a cordial manner that encourages the improvement of the text.
- The reviewers should not make personal criticisms to the authors, the suggestions should be objective and focused on the content of the work.
- If the reviewer realizes that the article contains plagiarism or that it is very similar to another published work, he should inform the editor, so that he can take the necessary actions to verify any infraction.
- If the reviewer realizes that he is not aware of the method or theme of the article, he must immediately inform the editor that he is not able to evaluate the work.
- The reviewer should not accept the invitation to evaluate an article if he knows that he will not be able to meet the deadline established by the journal.
- The reviewers should not try to discover the authorship of the article that is doing the analysis, the evaluation is to be carried out through blind review.
