Authors guidelines

(1) Papers sent to the journal must be original and may not be submitted for evaluation in another journal. Texts published in annals of events will be accepted provided that the content is substantially different from that previously published. Along with the submitted paper, a Declaration of Originality, signed by the author(s), must be sent.

(2) All identification of the work’s authorship must be removed from the submitted paper and replaced, in red color, by the phrase suppressed to preserve author’s identity, ensuring the secrecy criterion required by the double-blind peer review.

(3) The journal does not determine a specific length but suggests that papers are between 30,000- and 50,000-characters (including spaces) long, including subtitles, footnotes, and references, as per the characteristics defined in the template.

(4) Papers must include: title in Portuguese (or Spanish) and English; abstract with a minimum of 100 words and a maximum of 200 words in Portuguese (resumo) and English; three to five descriptors (keywords) in Portuguese (palavras-chave) and English. If originally written in English or Spanish, the paper must necessarily have an abstract and descriptors in Portuguese.

(5) Illustrations of any nature (graphs, tables, photographs, schemes, engravings, croquis) are denominated “Figure” and must be sequentially numbered (1, 2, 3…).

(5.1) The title must be placed right after the figure, indicating the sequential number and with a brief and clear explanatory caption which dispenses with referring to the text and, if necessary, followed by a legend.

(5.2) The caption must also contain data of the illustration’s reference source, for instance, Source: Author (date, p. xx).

(5.3) Compressed in Web/Screen format, the illustration must be inserted as close as possible to the section of the text in which it is referred to and indicated in parenthesis (Figure 1).

(5.4) Due to the formatting of the journal, every paper must contain at least one imagen, except in cases justified by the author(s), and we recommend that it does not contain over ten.

(5.5) Photographs and drawings must comply with the Copyright Law in effect in Brazil, being therefore accepted only images (a) authored by the paper’s authors’ themselves, (b) of common law, with over 70 years since its original publication (in which case, the date must be indicated in the caption), or (c) free-of-rights images (for instance, Creative Commons and Wikicommons).

(6) At a later time and only for papers accepted for publication, author(s) must send the images separately, numbered according to the captions (Figure 1.jpg, Figure 2.jpg…), with minimal resolution of 1,200 pixels on the larger side. The Editorial Team reserves the right not to publicize the image that does not comply with any of these requirements.

(7) Formatting: see template.

(8) References, as well as citations, must rigorously follow the template’s indications. Brazilian  Guidelines ABNT NBR 6023 and ABNT NBR 10520 may also be consulted.
