Sincerely

Name(s) of signatory(ies), signature(s) and ORCID of each author

The presentation of the papers must follow the following steps:

1. Title page without identifying the name of the author(s) and containing only:

1.1. Full title in Portuguese, not to exceed 12 words.

1.2. Full title in English, compatible with the title in Portuguese.

1.3. Paragraph acknowledging financial support, when applicable

2. Page containing the Abstract, in Portuguese:

The abstract must have a maximum of 250 words. The abstract must be followed by three to five keywords for indexing purposes. The words must allow the classification of the paper with adequate precision, allow it to be retrieved together with similar papers and evoke terms that would possibly be considered by a researcher when conducting a bibliographic survey. It is necessary to use the Terminology in Psychology from the BVS Psi (http://newpsi.bvs-psi.org.br/cgibin/wxis1660.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&lang=P&base=TERMINOLOGY)

In the case of a research report, the abstract must include: description of the problem investigated, relevant characteristics of the sample, method used for data collection, presentation of results and discussion.

The abstract of a theoretical study/essay must include: topic addressed (in one sentence), objective, thesis or construct under analysis or organizer of the study, sources used (e.g. observation made by the author, published literature) and conclusions.

3. Sheet containing Abstract, in English, compatible with the text of the abstract:

The Abstract must follow the same specifications for the Portuguese version, followed by three to five keywords, compatible with the keywords and the APA Thesaurus.

4. Text itself:

In all categories of the original, the text must be easily identifiable, indicated by a system of titles and subtitles that reflect this organization. In the case of research reports, the text must include: introduction, method, results and discussion, and references. Non-bibliographic notes must be kept to a minimum and placed at the bottom of the pages, ordered by Arabic numerals that must appear immediately after the text segment to which the note refers. Author citations must be made in accordance with APA standards, exemplified at the end of this text. In the case of a full transcription of a text, the transcription must be delimited by quotation marks. Citations must always be followed by the page number of the original consulted. A literal quotation with 40 or more words must be presented in its own block, starting on a new line, indented five spaces from the margin, in the same position as a new paragraph. The font size must be 12, as in the rest of the text.

5. References according to the 7th Edition of the APA, ordered according to the following general rules. Works with a single author and by the same author are ordered by year of publication, the oldest first. Works with a single author precede works with multiple authors, when the surname is the same. Works in which the first author is the same, but co-authors differ, are ordered by the surname of the co-authors. Works with the same multiple authorship are ordered by date, the oldest first. Works with the same authorship and the same date are ordered alphabetically by title, disregarding the first word if it is an article or pronoun, except when the title itself contains an indication of order; the year is immediately followed by lowercase letters. When repeated, the author's name should not be replaced by a dash or other symbols. The formatting of the reference list should be appropriate for the task of reviewing and editing - in addition to double spacing and font size 12, normal paragraph with indentation only on the second line, without shifting the margins; emphasis should be indicated by italics (e.g., italics). References should not exceed the limit of 30 productions.

6. Annexes: only when they contain important original information, or essential highlights for the understanding of some section of the work. It is recommended to avoid attachments.

Submission of manuscripts for publication, as well as all follow-up correspondence that may be necessary, should be sent exclusively online at http://www.scielo.br/pee.

1. Figure(s) - including caption, in the body of the manuscript, and should appear as soon as it is mentioned. To ensure reproduction quality, figures containing drawings should be sent in photographic quality. Since the published version cannot exceed the width of 8.3 cm for simple figures and 17.5 cm for complex figures, the author must ensure that the captions maintain reading quality, if reduction is necessary.

2. Table(s) - including title and notes, in the body of the manuscript, and must appear as soon as they are mentioned. When preparing them, the author must limit  its width to 60 characters for simple tables occupying one printed column, including 3 characters of space between table columns, and limit it to 125 characters for complex tables occupying two printed columns. The length of the table should not exceed 55 lines, including title and footer(s). For further details, especially in exceptional cases, the APA manual should be consulted.

The titles of Figures and Tables should follow the following model
