Article Recommendations and Procedures for the Final Version

Authors of articles recommended for publication through modifications according to the consultants' suggestions must forward the reformulated article, informing their acceptance of the suggested reformulations.
Often, an article can be improved. The consultant’s suggestions, which are specialized colleagues, are routine and aim to qualify the scientific content of the journal and, consequently, the published manuscript. Therefore, the suggestions that the consultants make about the manuscript should not be considered as personal criticism, considering that the identification of both the authors and the consultants is preserved.

Ex.
Apontamos um tipo de organização familiar distanciado, no qual os pais não davam atenção ao comportamento de seus filhos ou respondiam de forma autoritária. As ações oscilavam da negligência à violência. As respostas parentais dependiam mais do próprio humor dos pais do que do comportamento dos filhos. A falta da previsibilidade das respostas parentais prejudicava a compreensão dos filhos com relação às regras e ao desenvolvimento do seu autocontrole. O controle permanecia como uma área de domínio dos pais e era de natureza imprevisível. (Minuchin, 2009, p. 19).

Secondary quotes must be avoided or, if necessary, must be informed the original references in this way: Last name of the author of the original quote, the date, “In”, the name of the manuscript consulted and the publication date.
Ex. (Haley, 1976, as cited by Imber-Black, 1994).

Text quotes with multiple authors

Two authors: cite both names every time that the manuscript is mentioned in the text, with study date in parentheses.
Ex.: (Moody & White, 2003) or Moody and White (2003), depending on whether the quote is presented in parentheses or outside them.

Three or more authors: cite only the last name of the first author, followed by “et. al.” and date, when is the first quote in the paragraph.
Ex.: (Boscolo et al., 1993) or Boscolo et al. (1993), depending on whether the quote is presented in parentheses or outside them.

However, in the References section all authors’ names should be listed.

Include the authors name alphabetically followed by the year of the paper reported.

Quotes with sources changed that requires an explanation

Omitting information: use suspensions points separated by spaces (. . .) in a sentence to indicate that material has been omitted from the original source. Use four points to indicate omission between two sentences. The first point indicates the end of the first quoted sentence, and the other points of suspensions points. Do not use it at the beginning or ending of any quotation unless it is necessary to emphasize that the quotation begins or ends in the middle of sentence.

Inserting material: use square brackets and not parentheses to include material (additions or explanations) inserted in a quotation by someone other than the original author.

Emphasizing::if you want to emphasize a word or words in a quotation, italics and add in square brackets [our italics].
