Author Guidelines

Submission guidelines

The texts submitted to this journal should be original, that is, may not have been published in other media. They may have started scholarly works and papers at scientific conferences, but the text should never be equal to such works. It should be an expanded version of the conference paper. Any submission identified as being the last or the lowest text at the same time of the work presented at a scientific congress - that is, it can be characterized as self-plagiarism - will not be sent for evaluation..

Still considering ethical aspects, it is essential that:

  • no data, text or idea of other people be presented as if it were authored by the author(s), that is, the text submitted cannot contain plagiarism. To avoid this to happen, it is compulsory to credit the original publication of the data, text, or idea, whether by quoting literally, summarizing, or paraphrasing them. In the case of a literal citation, the author(s) must use quotation marks. In the case of material protected by copyright, the author(s) must attach the appropriate permission for using them;
  • no data, image or graphic has been manufactured or manipulated in order to legitimate any conclusion made by the author(s);
  • the author(s) do not commit self-plagiarism, that is, do not use substantial parts of their previous works in the manuscript.

As of 2016, all accepted submissions undergo plagiarism analysis through the use of appropriate software for this purpose and subsequent content analysis by the publisher. Submissions in which we identify the presence of plagiarism and / or self-plagiarism are canceled and the authors are informed of the reason for the cancellation.

In the case of empirical work, it is necessary that the study was completed when submitting the manuscript.

In the case of empirical work involving human beings, the author(s) must have followed the ethical norms of this type of research. Such ethical procedures should be included in the methodology section of the manuscript.

Submissions are exempt from any fees, as well as the entire process of review, production and publication of papers.

Submissions that do not follow the guidelines will be canceled.

Languages

Texts can be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English, and proofreading is always a responsibility of the author(s). Their non-observance may be grounds for rejection of the manuscript.

In any case, it is compulsory to present a Resumo (an Abstract written in Portuguese) with up to 250 words and an Abstract (written in English). Both texts should be clear and follow the linguistic prescription for the languages in which they are written. This means that the Abstract should not be a literal translation of the Resumo or vice-versa.

Formatting the submitted text

Texts submitted to this journal must be 15 to 25 A4 pages long, formatted in accordance with the orientation presented on the GUIDELINES, which is available HERE.

Figures and tables should be inserted in places considered adequate by the author(s).

Figures must be of sufficient quality for printing, that is, they must have been inserted from .tif files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. They must be authored by the author(s) or they must have written permission to use them from their owners/authors when they are protected by copyright. Such document may be requested as a condition for publishing the paper (if accepted).
