Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.


Editorial Policy Regarding the Use of AI

The use of generative AI and AI-managed technologies is accepted for enhancing the text's readability, grammar corrections, normalization, or style adjustments. However, all production and final review must be carried out by humans to avoid inaccuracies, terminological, or conceptual inadequacies generated by AI.

The use of generative AI to create or alter images in the manuscript is not permitted. AI-based tools may be used to enhance images without altering their original content.

Authors are fully responsible for the content of their work. Authorship, co-authorship, or citation as authors of technologies with AI assistance is not allowed.

Texts are checked by AI detectors such as GPTzero and Plagius.

Verification of Text Similarity and Exclusivity

Submitted manuscripts undergo text similarity verification and plagiarism prevention (Plagius) at the submission assignment stage. The journal also requires that the text has not been submitted to another journal simultaneously. In case of plagiarism detection or dual submission, the responsible parties will be banned from submitting to the journal for the next five years.

  • This submission meets the requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

   Include the links to online journals.  
   At least 3 references from primary bibliographies are required, with no maximum limit.  

Citations:

   Direct quotes from the work are essential to justify analyses and critiques, and long indented quotes can be used. The citation model currently used is (Author, Date, p. XX), meaning only the first letters of the surname should be in uppercase.

   Direct quotes up to three lines should appear within the text, in the same font as the text (without italics, except when there is an italicized word in the original text) and within double quotation marks.  
   Quotes longer than three lines should be typed separately from the main text, with a 4 cm left indent, without double quotation marks, or italics (except when there is an italicized word in the original text), in single spacing and in font size 10. In both cases, the references of the quotes must be indicated (Surname, year, page).  
   Footnotes should not be used for references. This resource can be used, when necessary, for explanatory notes.  
   Citations and references will follow the norms of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), which are exemplified at the end of these guidelines.  
   Illustrations (figures, tables, drawings, graphs, photographs, etc.) should be sent in the body of the text (formats JPG, TIF, or GIF), in color or black and white. The maximum dimensions, including legend and title, are those of the A4 format and must follow the ABNT norms for citation.  
   It is recommended to have texts and abstracts reviewed by specialized professionals.
