The Launch of Eclética Química Journal 

From 1976 to 2016, Eclética Química published its articles mainly in Portuguese although accepting 

publications in English or Spanish. Over the last years, it became clear that innovation was required to 

keep up the mission started some decades ago.  

New Editors and a new Editorial Board, with Brazilian and foreign scientists, are assuming the new 

challenges to move the now called Eclética Química Journal (EQJ) forward. An online process has 

been implemented through the OPEN JOURNAL SYSTEM (OJS) that will allow handling all processes 

from the manuscript submission to the online publication in a secure, agile, consistent and low cost 

system. Starting 2017, the Journal publishes only in English, with a new structure and layout. 

We are in the process to attributing a Digital Object Identification (DOI) to all articles published since 

1976 that still do not have one. DOI is now required for bibliographic references, the corresponding Open 

Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is being linked to the authors full names, and the reference 

number cited in the text is now linked to the references list. 

Eclética Química Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that does not charge authors article 

processing fees. All information about the Journal as well as Instructions on how to create an account and 

submit an article through the submission online system are available at EQJ’s website. 

The journal page can also be visited through the website of the Institute of Chemistry and Ulrichs 

web. With the affiliation of the Institute of Chemistry - UNESP Araraquara to the BRAZILIAN 

ASSOCIATION OF SCIENTIFIC EDITORS - ABEC, on 09/19/2017, Eclética Química Journal can be 

visited on the ABEC Portal (click on PoPA). EQJ can also be found in Google Scholar and in Google 

Analytics.  

We hope you join us in this new endeavor and kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to 

Eclética Química Journal.
