Editorial Management and Peer Review in Scientific Journals: the Challenges of rPOT

Abstract

Psychology: Organizations and Work Journal (Revista Psicologia: Organizações e Trabalho – rPOT) has become an important vehicle in its area over the twenty years since it was founded, for the dissemination of scientific knowledge in its scope. The history of rPOT reflects the development of the training of its editors, assistants and reviewers, in technical findings, improvement of theories, methods and techniques, and promotes critical reflection on n professional training and updating (Cruz et al., 2021a). Fulfilling this role requires editorial efforts, prerequisites for manuscript evaluation time, and the need for financial resources for producing and editing a high-level quarterly scientific journal (Cruz et al., 2021b; Cruz et al., 2019). In this direction, it is important to highlight the role of the Brazilian Association of Organizational and Work Psychology (Associação Brasileira de Psicologia Organizacional e do Trabalho - SBPOT) in promoting the sustainability of rPOT throughout its trajectory.
