Journal of Racial and Ethnic Social Equality

About the Journal

The Journal of Racial and Ethnic Social Equality (JRESE) was established in 2021, it is published every four months, in the modality of continuous publication, by the Universidade Zumbi dos Palmares, with open access, data, and materials (ISSN 2764-0728). It is peer-reviewed in a double-blind review system, it is published exclusively online, with unlimited free access. There is mounting evidence that ethnic minorities face substantial disadvantages in society, especially in the labor market, some of which is due to racial discrimination by employers. The Journal of Racial and Ethnic Social Equality

documents the progress of literature designed to understand, address, and ultimately appropriately address social disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts are presented to explore the underlying causes of social disparities and to describe the interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic social disparities. Ongoing highly rigorous studies or long-term data studies are most welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices for the elimination of social disparities. Original research articles, as well as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and commentary presenting frontier thinking on issues centered on social disparities, will be considered for publication.

The Journal of Racial and Ethnic Social Equality, mainly dedicated to the examination and elimination of racial and ethnic social disparities, is an official publication of the Zumbi de Palmares University, contributing to the elimination of racial and ethnic disparities in emerging markets. The inequality of opportunities, in interaction with issues of structural racism, makes this agenda a relevant research field with a focus on the resulting social problems. This journal publishes results of transdisciplinary research, which brings lessons from different areas of knowledge to address problems arising from this situation. The horizons of racial and ethical social disparity are broad, but the themes of recurrent concern for the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Social Equality are those with a high impact on society, distributed in different topics, for which there are specific editors. Examples of non-exhaustive interest to JRESE are the following fields:

• Labor markets
• Organizational and individual behavior
• Entrepreneurship
• Consumer relations
• Technology, information, and knowledge
• Urban policy and infrastructure
• Health
• Justice
• Education

JRESE seeks to collaborate to promote communication between governmental, business and industrial, academic and non-governmental organizations, which are fundamental in identifying and solving problems related to ethnic and racial social disparity, with regional emphasis and international relevance. To this end, JRESE seeks to advance policy-relevant interdisciplinary research on contemporary issues around the promotion of equity, background, and consequences of racial and ethnic social disparities. To these ends, we understand that research on ethnic and racial social equity values a diverse range of theories, methods, and approaches, especially where they engage with research traditions, evolving debates, and new directions in urban and regional studies. JRESE facilitates and encourages high-quality research efforts aimed at investigating important issues in racial and ethnic social equity. The journal publishes significant contributions, theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. JRESE's main demand is for original documents, which may be of interest to the journal's audience, such as policymakers, academics, and practitioners. Given that JRESE accepts submissions from research efforts supported by different approaches, it is expected that empirical articles studying causal mechanisms will propose a convincing identification strategy. Submitted articles should address modern issues of regional importance, aim to inform debate and policymaking, and be of international relevance. Therefore, manuscripts focusing on regional issues are welcome if they suggest research strategies or offer valuable lessons more generally. Manuscripts that reveal the need for more scientific research are also welcome. All contributions will be independently reviewed. Proposals for common and guest-edited special editions are encouraged and welcomed. JRESE publishes, in addition to unpublished Theoretical-Empirical Articles, Tutorial Articles, and Letters. All articles submitted to the journal must necessarily show a distinctive link with the issue of racial-ethnic social equity.
