Scope and Focus Policy

The scientific journal Mythos is a biannual publication of the Southern Minas Gerais Teaching and Research Foundation (FEPESMIG), which oversees the Unis Educational Group. This group includes the Southern Minas University Center (UNIS-MG), Três Pontas College, and São Lourenço College.

Mythos promotes interdisciplinary and internationalization of scientific research within its editorial scope. It stands out as a space dedicated to the convergence of various disciplines, fostering dialogue among knowledge areas often treated in isolation. Mythos is more than a journal; it is a platform seeking to transcend traditional research barriers, embracing the richness that emerges when different knowledge areas collaborate. Furthermore, Mythos aims to promote studies involving diverse cultural contexts.

The interdisciplinary scope of Mythos encompasses a wide range of topics, from natural sciences to humanities, connecting seemingly distant areas at first glance. We believe that the complexity of contemporary challenges requires an integrated approach, and that is what Mythos aims to achieve.

Mythos welcomes contributions exploring the intersection of natural and social sciences, encouraging collaboration among biologists, physicists, sociologists, anthropologists, and other experts. We believe that this confluence of knowledge is essential for understanding complex phenomena, such as interactions between the environment and society, cultural dynamics, and technological advancements.

The journal accepts original articles that have not been published elsewhere (journal, book, etc.) and are not simultaneously submitted to another scientific or research outlet. Texts constituting expanded versions of previously published materials in conference proceedings or other venues must indicate this on the first page, with changes highlighted in yellow by the authors. Ad hoc reviewers will assess whether the deepening of the subject is sufficient for them to be considered original. This information prevents the work from being summarily archived as "non-original."

The writing of the resulting text from ongoing or completed theoretical or theoretical-empirical research should be clear, concise, and objective, highlighting the theoretical-methodological foundation, research procedures, and achieved results.
