Vol. 3 No. 5 (2020): Insignare Scientia Journal
Sep./Dec. 2020
The Insignare Scientia Journal (RIS) is a collective action resulting from the work carried out at the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul - UFFS, Campus Cerro Largo - RS, in the area of Natural Sciences, linked to the Study and Research Group in Science and Mathematics Teaching - GEPECIEM and the Postgraduate Program in Science Teaching - PPGEC.
In our third year of publication, we have much to celebrate. There were so many submissions that we had to stop accepting them continuously to maintain the quality of the evaluation and editing processes of the volumes and keep the publication on schedule. However, we have already resumed the submission process and have not stopped publishing. Thus, we reached the end of 2020 with special volumes and Vol. 3 No. 5, which is the last of this year.
From the assignment of the DOI and indexing processes in different databases, the quality and dissemination of articles have gradually increased. These are the registrations, currently 13 indexers, that provide dissemination in national and international directories, thus expanding the dissemination and visibility of the articles published worldwide.
In this volume, we publish 32 academic papers distributed across the different sections of the RIS, including research results, experiences, didactic propositions, and thesis syntheses as a way to project a scenario of science education that can think, make itself, and be critical while at the same time reconstructive, dialogical, and transformative.
We take this opportunity to thank the reviewers who donate their time to build new learning experiences and the researchers who submitted their work this editorial year, as ideas are the starting point for scientific development.
I take this Editorial to say goodbye to the general edition of RIS, I now move to a more reserved position in this process which is that of Senior Editor, a group consultant who will facilitate qualification and consolidation processes of the journal through the search to compose special volumes, dissemination, and new indexations. At this moment, I need to thank our group and the Science Teaching area, researchers who spare no effort to edit this journal, and also thank the UFFS librarians who have been our support for this work.
Furthermore, I think I conclude by celebrating 3 years of work, news, and achievements. Publications, citations, and advances, but I mainly celebrate the good relationships and the expanded collective process. I also take this opportunity to officially introduce our new Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Dr. Rosangela Inês Matos Uhmann, who greatly honors us with this work, as well as the new editor of the Science Education Section who takes over: Prof. Dr. Eliane Gonçalves dos Santos, a toast to them.
May we have a long life for RIS.
We wish everyone good reading.
Prof. Dr. Roque Ismael da Costa Güllich - Editor of RIS
