Preparation of the Manuscript
The manuscripts must be original and unpublished and can be presented in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Manuscripts forwarded simultaneously to other journals or previously published will not be accepted. In 2018, the average time to evaluate the manuscripts until its final decision was 75 days and for publication it was 160 days. In this period 58% of manuscripts were rejected.
All communications and notifications will be made to the author, exclusively by the electronic system or by email. The identification of the authors must be made only in the submission system. Articles that show the names of the authors in the text body of the manuscript will not be accepted.
The following information must be submitted at the time of submission:
- full names of all authors,
- affiliation (institution of origin with 3 instances),
- email and
- ORCID. The registration to obtain the ORCID is free and can be done individually or by the institution, through the link: orcid.org.
- The name of the correspondence author must be specified and contain, in addition to the mandatory information, the full postal address.
Authors are those who make public their responsibilities for the content of the article, agreeing that the writing and intellectual contents were critically performed by all authors. Each author must approve the final version of the content to be published and agree to be responsible for all aspects of the work ensuring that questions regarding the accuracy or completeness of any part of the work are properly investigated and resolved. The Journal recommends up to 06 (six) authors per manuscript. When the number of authors is greater, justification must be sent to the editors.
To ensure the integrity of the blind peer review process, it is imperative to avoid the identities of the authors in the body of the text. Therefore, make sure that the following steps have been taken regarding the text and file properties:
- (1) exclude the name of the authors in the text;
- (2) do not include the section "Acknowledgments;
- (3) does not include the section "Authors’ Contribuition"; and
- (4) the identification of the author should also be removed from the properties of the file. At the editing stage of text, after approval of the manuscript, the corresponding author will be asked to fill in all this information.
