Information about submissions

When submitting, it is mandatory to send (1) a version of the article without any identification, (2) a version of the article in the submission template, including the author (s) data and an (3) open science compliance form filled in and signed.

The evaluation process of the manuscripts takes, on average, from 3 to 4 months.

Standard rules for manuscripts

1 - Articles shall range between 28,000 and 70,000 characters with spacing, including footnotes and bibliographical references. They shall include an abstract (from 700 to 1,050 characters with spacing) and three keywords, followed by translations into English. However, the maximum quantity of characters does not include the author’s data required in the submission template.

2 - Authors shall divide articles into sections, which should consist of explanatory titles, in bold and capitalized only at the beginning (or when including proper nouns). Numerical division of sections will not be accepted under any hypothesis.

3 - Submissions must be original and unpublished, not currently under evaluation by another publication and include no indication of authorship. Authors shall delete any information in the file that can identify them as such.

4 - Research funding must be detailed in the field for information about the article in the journal’s standard template.

5 - The articles will be preselected by the Editorial Board, which will evaluate pertinence to the journal's scope. Once approved in the pre-selection, they will be submitted to peer review.

6 - All articles will be analyzed by at least two members of the Advisory Board or ad hoc advisors, who may, in consideration of the subject matter, its treatment, clarity of writing and compliance with journal standards, refuse publication or suggest modifications.

7 - Opinions are confidential. The Executive Board reserves the right to publish or refuse the publication of submitted texts, according to pertinence to the journal’s planned topics.

8 - Keywords must be sourced from the keyword database prepared by journal editors.

9 - Submissions must be in Times New Roman, body 12, spacing of 1.5 and margins of 3 cm. Citations with more than three lines should be indented from the left margin (1.5 cm), without quotation marks, in body 11 and single spacing.

10 - Spelling and grammar revision must be completed prior to submission. The journal publishes articles in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

11 - Footnotes should be strictly explanatory, with a maximum length of 260 characters with spacing each and restricted to 12 footnotes per article. In the event that additional footnotes are essential to understanding the article’s argument, authors must contact the secretary, who will assess the request. When a citation is translated, the original text must not be included as a footnote.

12 - Citations must be in body text with the following format: (ABREU, 2005, p. 36). In case of doubts, consult ABNT NBR 10520 (2002).

Reference to classic texts shall also appear in the body of the text, indicating the author's name, the first word of the title of the work (in italics) and the section and/or lines cited, as in the following examples:  Aristotle, Poetics VII; Thucydides, History IV, 49.  The cited work shall be referenced in full at the end of the text, in the bibliographical reference section.

14 - Only references used in the text may be listed. Authors may not use abbreviations to identify works, as this jeopardizes the automated reference identification process. All submissions must be according to ABNT NBR 6023: 2018 standards.
