Digital Version

In this section, articles originally published in physical support will be republished, aiming at the dissemination and dissemination of relevant research. The mass of knowledge available to mankind depends on the source of learning resources, which can range from old printed documents to presentable electronic material.
The rapid conversion of material available in traditional libraries to digital form takes a significant amount of work. Most printed documents not only contain characters and their formatting, but also some associated non-textual objects such as tables, graphs, and graphic objects. It's a challenge to spot them and focus on preserving the content format while playing them. To help with solving this issue, in our midst, we are looking for important printed material and reformatting for digital publishing. In summary, the aim of this section is to preserve culture by recovering material that could be lost by remaining in print.

Portuguese Version

Although it is editorial policy of OLYMPIKA MAGAZINE to publish original articles, the Editorial Board may, exceptionally, decide to publish a non-original article taking into account its scientific and intellectual relevance and opportunity, especially to increase thematic editions and give the Portuguese-speaking community access to translations of relevant works into Portuguese.
In this case, publication will always depend on obtaining authorization from the holders of rights or a license that allows republication. In any case, this decision is taken considering, on the one hand, criteria of relevance, interest, and quality, defined in accordance with the journal's editorial policy, and, on the other hand, the conformity or ease of adaptation of the article to the publication standards of OLYMPIKA MAGAZINE.

Interview Article

An interview paper provides an expert opinion on a specific issue. Academic papers require you to provide arguments based on studies, research pieces, statistics, etc. But an interview paper is different – for this type of essay, you will develop assumptions around an expert’s opinion. Formats of interview paper: Narrative (implies that you can use either direct or indirect speech when referring to your interviewee); Q & A ("question and answer” will suit your needs perfectly if you interview one person. It is the simplest format used in online magazines, news reports, and other media) and Conversational (conversational style is informal, and you can use either first-person or second-person narrative).

Public Research

The production and distribution of knowledge is a key process in scientific and academic research. This process includes universities and public research institutes, as well as actors as diverse as the Research and Development Departments of companies, citizen scientists and non-profit private research institutes.

In this section the editors of OLYMPIKA MAGAZINE select entities that carry out or finance experimental research and development for the government, higher education institutions or non-profit institutions (associations and foundations) and publish their works in English and/or Portuguese.

You can present a value judgment on the object under analysis, based on solid references and the presentation of positive and negative points.

Book Chapter

In general, book chapters have a longer format than conventional articles and generate extensive discussions on the subject, in addition,  book chapters tend to have a broader audience. Editors may invite authors based on the scope of the work, but not necessarily.

Finally, the observed results and final considerations are presented, highlighting, expanding the effect of their experience as a potential example for other studies.
