Guidelines for Authors on Submitting Manuscripts
Any submissions, in the form of articles, must be presented in Microsoft Word, be 10 to 15 pages long, Times New Roman font, size 12, with line spacing of 1.5 cm, all margins at 2.5 cm, on A4 size paper and paragraph must be 1.25 cm from the left margin. These dimensions also include full references and any illustrations. Reviews, meanwhile, should be, precisely, three to five pages long.
Manuscripts to be published in the form of articles must have: introduction, development (which may be presented in the form of various sections, according to its content), final thoughts and references. The Introduction must include an explanation of the objective/issue, the theoretical approach and method chosen, its objectives and a brief description of how the article is structured. The Final Thoughts must describe the main results, but not include any new content or arguments not previously discussed. Both sections are a particular opportunity to reflect the author(s)’s own contribution.
Articles must not contain any identity details of the authors. These must be listed in another separate file, or on a separate sheet to the body of the article. This is referred to as the ‘cover page’, as described in the publication rules.
The first page of a manuscript must contain:
The title of the article only - without the name(s) of the author(s). It should be a maximum of 12 words;
The abstract, which must be no more than 150 words and written in size 10 font, single spacing and followed by a list of 3 to 5 keywords, chosen to help classify the work accurately for indexing purposes;
An English version of the title, the abstract and the keywords.
As Revista Em Pauta accepts contributions in Portuguese, Spanish or English, the guidance in relation to the language used for titles, abstracts and keywords, is as follows:
When the article is in Portuguese or English, the title, abstract and keywords must only be in Portuguese and English;
When the article is in Spanish, the title, abstract and keywords must be in Spanish, Portuguese and English.
Footnotes should be avoided; where necessary, they should be no more than four lines long.
Illustrations (figures, tables, photos or charts) should be avoided, but where they are essential to the content, they should be referred to in the body of the text (either in the paragraph before or after). When they are displayed in the body of the manuscript, they must include numbering, title, followed by a subtitle explaining the time and spatial parameters of the data presented and a source (displayed above and below the illustration, respectively, and outside the borders of the image). Tables and graphs must be in line with IBGE standards for the title, source and, if applicable, notes (1993, p.12;13;20). They must also be attached and sent in separate files, according to the following requirements: tables and graphs must be in Excel, formatted; Pictures and other illustrations must be in high resolution (at least 300 dpi) in *JPG, *JPEG or *TIF format. In each case, the Editorial Team will review the quality and relevance of the material sent, and will decide whether or not to include it, notifying the author(s) of the fact.
Articles and similar material must be sent to Revista Em Pauta, having been revised according to current grammatical rules and must comply with the standards of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT). The respective author(s) are responsible for ensuring that they are presented according to the content cited and referenced.
Revista Em Pauta follows the Author-Date System approach and references must currently be presented in accordance with NBR 10520 (ABNT, 2018) and citations in accordance with NBR 6023 (ABNT, 2023).
Some examples of the commonly used standards are described below.
Quotations and references in the body of the text
Direct (literal) quotations of up to 3 lines: These are presented within the body of the text, between quotation marks, in the same font as the text, followed by the appropriate reference, with the surname(s) of up to three authors (first letter capitalized, the remainder in lower case), followed by the year of publication and the page from which it was taken.
Direct (literal) quotations of more than 3 lines: These are presented in their own paragraph, indented by 4cm from the left margin, in font size 10, without quotation marks for the quotation itself, single line spacing, with the text along the right margin.
The quotation must be followed by the reference, with the surname(s) of up to three authors (first letter capitalized, the remainder in lower case), followed by the year of publication and the page from which it was taken.
If the text quoted originally ad sections between quotation marks, these must be replicated as single quotation marks.
If the authors wish to highlight the quoted text, they must use italics and, in the reference to the text, they must refer to the change to the original text by using the expression "our emphasis" after the page reference). If, however, the original text quoted already contained a highlighted section, this must be kept and written in italics. There is no need to refer to the fact that the italics were in the original text.
Indirect quotations (paraphrasing) - When the original words as the cited text are not used, quotation marks are not applicable and the quotation should only be referenced by the surname(s) of up to three authors (first letter capitalized, the remainder in lower case), followed by the year of publication, without a page reference. We do not give page references for indirect quotations.
Authors: Following NBR 10520, in 2023, the surnames of authors in the body of the text only appear with the initial letter in capitals and the remainder in lower case; both when mentioned in the text itself, and when mentioned in parentheses before or after a citation;
When the reference has up to three authors, the surnames of all of them must appear in the text, separated by semicolons. When there are three or more authors, only the surname of the first author is included, followed by the expression ‘et al.’ written in italics, with a period at the end. The surnames and abbreviated names of all authors must be included in the References.
References listed at the end of the article or similar material
Only Bibliographic references and other sources for all of the citations (direct and indirect) made in the text, must be included (texts read but not cited should not be listed in the references at the end of the article or similar material). In other words, the citations made throughout the text should correlate to the list of references at the end. It uses the title ‘References’ because it includes those used throughout the manuscript and not just the bibliographic ones.
Revista Em Pauta’s policy is to abbreviate the first surname of an author in the list of references. Only the last surnames of authors are written with all the letters in capitals (upper case).
For ‘Em Pauta’, the titles in the main work are highlighted using italics. Only the main title in a reference is highlighted; the subtitle is not. For example, the title of a periodical is highlighted in italics, but not the title of the referenced article. The title of a book chapter is not highlighted, but the book that contains it is.
Only the initial of the title and proper names, if any, are capitalized, the rest of the title and subtitle are not emphasized in italics;
Information on the electronic address and date of access is required for references available online, preceded, respectively, by the expressions "Available at:" and "Accessed on:". The complete link (URL) for the document referenced must be included, so that the reader can access the referenced work directly.
