Article Structure

Articles can be written in Portuguese, English or Spanish.

The texts can be presented in several modalities: original articles - 25 pages (they are reports of research based on empirical data, reports of professional experience related to practices of internships in different areas);theoretical review articles - 30 pages (are theoretical works, critical reviews, systematic reviews of literature); clinical case articles - 20 pages; letters to the editor - 5 pages; book reviews - 5 pages.

The following topics should be included in the original articles: title; introduction (definition of research problems, justification of the research, relevance of the theme, theoretical revision and objectives of the study); method (sample, data collection techniques, data collection procedures, quoting the approval number of the Research Ethics Committee with Human Beings); results; discussion; final considerations or conclusion; and references. No footnotes should be included. Figures and tables should be indicated in the text (ie: place where they should be inserted), but must be sent in a single file separately, in a maximum number of five.

The following topics should be included in the review articles: title; introduction (definition of research problems, justification of the research, relevance of the theme and objectives); method (criteria for inclusion of material in the review, procedures for collecting documentary data and analysis procedures); discussion of results (review and analysis on the basis of theory or theoretical construct discussed); final considerations or conclusion and references. As for the insertion of figures and tables, the same procedure recommended for original article based on empirical data should be followed.

Must be included in the articles of relevant clinical cases: title; introduction (definition of the study topic associated to the case, relevance, presentation of the case and clinical case of the case); Method (clinical characterization of the case, selection procedures, exploration and diagnosis procedures, as well as the intervention procedures, citing the approval number of the Research Ethics Committee with Human Beings); discussion of the case; final considerations or conclusion and references. As for the insertion of figures and tables, the same procedure recommended for original article should be followed.

They should be included in the book review: header (transcription of the complete bibliographic data of the reviewed publication); introduction and purpose of the review; synthetic presentation of parts, sections or chapters; critical analysis on the work in question and discussion about the theoretical or scientific contribution.

Full quotes in up to three lines should be indicated by quotation marks in the body of the paragraph, which should also include the author's last name, year and page number. Full citations that occupy more than three lines must be indicated in a separate paragraph, so that they include the author's surname, the year and the page number quoted.

References: - references must be listed in the alphabetical order of authors' surnames. The works of single authorship, with more than one citation, must be ordered by publication year (beginning with the oldest). Also insert the DOI of the article at the end of each reference. Regarding the ABNT Norms, we refer the author to the following examples of citations and references.

It is the mention, in the text, of information extracted from another source. The author makes use of an original text to extract the citation, which can be reproduced literally (direct, literal or textual citation), interpreted, summarized or translated (indirect or free citation), or may be information extracted from an intermediate source (citation of quote).

1.1     Direct, literal or textual citations.

They are literal transcriptions and extracted from the text consulted, respecting all the formal characteristics regarding the writing, the spelling, and the original punctuation. Part of the transcribed text can be omitted by employing three ellipses brackets, but the end of the passage, indicate - where the extracted reference. The quotation in the text is transcribed in double quotation marks, and, if it is a short textual quotation, of up to three lines, it must be incorporated in the paragraph.

Example:

There is the place where you were born, the place you come from, the place where you work, you live, etc. "The place where speech is complemented by the allusive exchange of some passwords, in the connivance and intimate accomplices of the announcers" (AUGÉ, 1994, 73). In short, a place can be symbolized. When the name of the author (s) cited or the title (s) of the cited work are included in the sentence, only the date and the page (s) are included in parentheses.

Example:

For Romberg (1992, p 51), the term "research" refers to processes - things that are made and not objects that can be touched and seen. In addition, he states: "Doing research can not be viewed as a mechanical performance or set of activities that individuals follow in a prescribed or predetermined way."

In the first example of item 1.1, note that when the author's surname is in parentheses, it should be written in the upper box - (AUGÉ, 1994, p.73). In the second example of the same item 1.1, note that, when the author's surname is outside the parentheses, it should be written in the lower case - Romberg (1992, p.).

In the case of the long textual citation, with more than three lines, it is presented in an isolated paragraph, using a left margin indentation of 4 cm, with the body of the letter smaller than the text (size 10), single spacing, without the quotation marks, with the right margin as the limit of the work.

Example:

According to Onuchic (1999: 187): No intervention in the learning process can make more difference than a well-trained, intelligent, and skilled teacher. Investing in the quality of teaching is what matters. Teacher preparation has a direct effect on learners [...].

1.2     Indirect or free quotes

They are reproductions of ideas of others without literal transcription of the words used. Although free, they must be faithful to the meaning of the original text. They do not require quotation marks.

Example:

The Brazilian educational reform of the second half of the 1990s is itself, in its particularity, such a change in Brazilian social structures. Therefore, in this period, we witness a series of paradigmatic transformations in this sphere. This statement is illustrated by the curriculum reform, carried out at all levels and in a centralized way, by specialists from our best universities, institutes and research foundations: the reform in educational financing, articulated with the evaluation policy carried out by the National Evaluation System , among other measures in the same field (SILVA JUNIOR, 2002).

To quote a work with two or three authors, all names are indicated, separated by semicolons, followed by the date of publication.

Example:

By checking the nature of some chemicals, even present in low concentrations in water, can be ingested by aquatic organisms, which in turn are consumed by predatory fish, bioaccumulate in their tissues, representing a potential risk to man, as well as to birds and other animals that eat fish (Mackenthun; Bregan, 1991).

1.3     Reply with quote

When the author does not use the original text, but a citation in consulted work, the citation can be reproduced verbatim, or be interpreted, summarized or translated. This type of citation should be avoided to the maximum, since the final work has not been consulted and there may be a risk of misinterpretation and errors. In this case, the Latin expression apud followed by an indication of the source actually consulted is used, and the data of the original document should be mentioned in a footnote.
