Cadernos de Campo: Revista de Ciências Sociais

What Cadernos de Campo: Revista de Ciências Sociais does

Cadernos de Campo: Revista de Ciências Sociais is a semestral open-access academic journal edited by postgraduate students and faculty of the Postgraduate Program in Social Sciences at the Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Araraquara (FCLAr), Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP), in Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil. It publishes scientific research in social sciences — primarily anthropology, political science, and sociology — while also accepting interdisciplinary contributions from history, geography, pedagogy, economics, international relations, and philosophy, in the form of thematic dossiers, free articles, and special collaborations.

The journal is hosted on the UNESP Portal de Periódicos FCLAr, which runs on Open Journal Systems (OJS 3.3.0.13), free open-source journal management software developed by the Public Knowledge Project under the GNU General Public License. Distribution is exclusively digital via the portal; no print edition is produced and no API or external integrations are documented. The journal carries no proprietary technology layer beyond standard OJS configuration and shares infrastructure with sister FCLAr periodicals (ALFA, CASA, DOXA, Estudos de Sociologia, ITINERÁRIOS, among others).

The business model is non-commercial: no subscription fees, no article processing charges, and no advertising. The entity is wholly owned and operated by UNESP, a Brazilian public state university, with no venture capital, private equity, or independent ownership structure. Reach is generated passively through institutional affiliation and academic database indexing rather than active sales or marketing. The journal's addressable "customers" are the academic community — authors, peer reviewers, and readers in the social sciences and humanities — none of whom transact with the journal financially.
