Rev. psicol. polít. Instructions to authors

The editorial process will only begin if the submission is sent with all metadata fields fully completed on the platform and if it meets the guidelines presented below. Otherwise, it will be archived and the author informed of the need for a new submission with the necessary corrections. We emphasize that submissions archived twice due to non-compliance with the following items will not be accepted again.

Because of the double blind review, authors must eliminate all kinds of identification in any part of the manuscript, including the file properties. Authors information provided in the online form will not be disclosed to ad hoc reviewers under any circumstances.

Institutional information or methodological details that may identify the author must be suppressed, using, for example, expressions as "University XXX" and "School XXX".

Avoid quoting your own work multiple times. If unavoidable, the body of the text must bring "Author (publication year)" and, in the beginning of the references list, the following information (do not follow the alphabetical order in this case): "Author (publication year) - include reference after peer review".

There are several ways to suppress the author identification from the file properties, depending on the version of the word processor. In the Help section of your word processor, look for "Properties" or "Inspect document" and follow the instructions to remove personal information from your document.

Authors with accepted submissions will have the opportunity to include additional data during the final revision. However, in case reviewers deem necessary, the technical proofreading for Portuguese may be required from the authors. In this case, editors would recommend a professional and the authors would pay the service directly to the proofreader.

Documents to be submitted must be in .doc or .docx format, within the maximum number of characters according to each category as described below (including Abstract, Abstract and Resumen Pictures, Tables, Attachments and References, besides the body of the text):

Letter of Authorship
An Authorship Letter, in PDF format, duly signed by all authors, must be included with the submission. The file must be uploaded in the second step of the submission (2. Manuscript Transfer/Submission Files) immediately after uploading the main text. Failure to include this letter when submitting the text to the PEPSIC Platform will result in the immediate rejection and archiving of the proposal.
The journal Psicologia Política adopts the publication guidelines of the APA: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition, 2020). https://www4.uwsp.edu/psych/mp/APA/apa4b.htm

b) Spacing of 1,5 cm throughout the file, including Front Page, Abstract, Body of Text, References, Attachments, etc.

c) Typeface Font: Times New Roman 12 (except for direct citations, blocked, 4 cm indentation on the left margin.

j) All the URL http://pkp.sfu.ca ) must be active links inside the text and leading directly to the quoted document.

a) Presentation: A short text (maximum 3,500 characters, which will not be counted in the total character count of the article) should be included on the first page, before the manuscript, without author identification. The text should answer three questions:
- What is the relationship between the presented text and the field of Political Psychology?

- What is original and specific about this text compared to other works on the same topic?

b) Front Page: without author identification (this should be in the metadata). It must bring the title in Portuguese (maximum of 14 words), Spanish and English. It must include the title and abstracrt in French only if the publication is in this language. In the case of Articles, abstracts should be inserted immediately after the titles, and may occupy more than one page.

c) Abstract: must comprise between 100 and 150 words, in the original language of the text and followed by translations in English, Spanish and Portuguese, if this is the case. The same is valid for the manuscript title. If the original text is in French, abstracts in English, Portuguese and Spanish must also be included. Below each abstract 5 (five) keywords must be listed. Translations must preserve the abstract content, but also adapt to the grammar rules of each language. The RPP reserves the right to require amends in the abstracts if needed. This is a very important item, as in case of publication it will be available in all the magazine indexers.

Unfortunately, PEPSIC resources do not support video. However, we encourage authors to record videos to summarize the content of their papers so that we can publish them in our social media. We commit to publish and disclosure separately your paper with the video. The video can be recorded in a mobile or video camera, but the resolution of audio and image must be of quality. We recommend that the videos do not exceed a 3 minutes length, as longer videos are less viewed. Videos above 10 minutes will not be accepted. The videos must be shared through the magazine email revistapsicopol@gmail.com, cloud apps (DropBox, Google Drive) or similar. We will download it and publish in the RPP page on Facebook.

d) Body of Text: it is not necessary to repeat the title of the manuscript in the first page. If there are subdivisions in the text we recommend a maximum of 3 levels of subheadings. Subheadings must bring only the first letter of each word in capitals. Do not italicize.

Footnotes must be avoided whenever possible. However, if unavoidable, footnotes must be referenced in the text by Arabic algorisms. Footnotes must not be used to inform bibliographic references. Bibliographic references must be listed at the end of the paper. Footnotes font size must be 10 with simple spacing.

References must be listed at the end of the text, in alphabetical order, according to the APA norms adapted by RPP (find below some examples of how to quote papers, books, chapters, theses and dissertations, respectively). Do not leave extra space between references.

Pictures and Tables must be presented with their respective title and caption. They must be done in formats that allow edition in Word. The title must be bold, without period. Do not use capitals, italics or bold inside the Table. The titles of the Pictures must be presented just after the expression "Picture" and their respective number (must be underlined), following the specification for Tables.

The words Picture, Table and Attachment inside the body of text must be capitalized in the first letter at all times and followed by the respective number (for Pictures and Tables) or letter (for Attachments).
Tables titles, pictures and attachments must be placed at the top of themselves, after the expression "Table" and its respective number. Tables and their titles identification must be separated by hyphens.
Expressions as "the Table above" or "the Figure below" must not be used as the location of images and tables may vary during the editing process.
The sides of the table must not be closed with vertical lines in their extremities. Do not use horizontal lines inside the table except for first and last lines and heading.
Attachments must be including only if they bring essential information. Attachments with more than one page must be numbered in sequence with text and font Times New roman size 12. Attachments must be referenced inside the body of text by capitalized letters of the alphabet (example: A, B, C and so on).

Direct quotations must be exact, even if the original brings mistakes. If this is the case, add the word [sic], underlined and between square brackets just after the mistake.
Omissions from an original font must be indicated by ellipsis without parentheses. Material insertions as comments or notes must be placed between brackets.
Highlights on one or more words must be underlined and followed by [griffon added].
Direct quotations (verbatim) with less than 40 words must be inserted in the body of text, between quotation marks and including punctuation. The name of the author, year of publication and page number (preceded by "p.") must be placed at the end of the quotations between round brackets.
Direct quotations (verbatim) above 40 words must be blocked, separated from the text, indented in 4 cm from the left margin, in font size 10 and simple spacing, without quotation marks.
Indirect quotations do not require indentation or quotation marks and must be followed by the name of the author and publication date, in the end, between brackets or inside the body of text.

They certainly do not exhaust all citations possibilities in your work. Use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020, 7th edition) [ https://repositorioaberto.uab.pt/bitstream/10400.2/9889/10/NormaAPA7W.pdf ], to check the standards for other references, considering the adaptation of the Revista de Psicologia Política, regarding the full name of the authors being mandatory in the references and optional in the body of the text.

The last name of the authors is detailed in all quotations using "and" or "&" according to the following situations:

First quotation inside the body of text: "The analysis proposed by Marco Aurelio Prado and Frederico Viana Machado (2014)".

Subsequent quotations inside the body of text: "The analysis proposed by Prado and Machado (2014)".

The "&" must be used only when the quotation is between round brackets: "The analysis was initially proposed to the study of ideologization (Prado & Machado, 2014)".

The last name of all the authors must be detailed in the first quotation. From the second quotation on, only the last name of the first author must be detailed, followed by "et al." and, if this is the first quotation of a reference inside the same paragraph, the year.

First quotation inside the body of text: Allan Gomes, Letícia Andrade and Kátia Maheirie (2018) evidenced that...

Subsequent quotation to the first in the paragraph: Gomes et al. (2018) verified that...

Omit the year in subsequent quotations inside the same paragraph: Gomes et al. verified that...

In the text, since the first quotation, only the first author is mentioned, followed by "et al.", except if the format originates ambiguity. In this case, the previous item guidelines must be followed. The first quotation presents name and last name, subsequent quotations presents last name and date.

The manuscript uses as source a work discussed in another study without having consulted the original work (for example, a study by Foucault quoted by Hamann, 2012). This type of quotation must be avoided, used in specific cases that must be communicated and justified to the editor in a private message. Inside the body of text use the following quotation:

First quotation inside the body of text: Michel Foucault (as quoted by Cristiano Hamann, 2012) adds that those studies…

In the Reference section, inform the secondary source (for example, Hamann) according to the appropriate format.

Author (original publication date/date of the consulted edition) Ex.: Comte (1856/1948).

Works from one and same author must be classified by publication year, the oldest in the first place, at the top of the list.

Whenever the last name of the author is identical, works from one author precede works from multiple authors.

Works in which the first author is the same and the coauthors differ are organized by the coauthors last names.

Works from the same author and with the same date are classified by title in alphabetical order, disregarding if the first word is an article or pronoun, except if the title itself brings indication of order, the year is immediately followed by lower case letters (and that way it must be also indicated in the quotation and call for reference). The name of the author must not be replaced by dashes or other signs whenever repeated.

It must be in font size 12 and simple spacing. Each reference must be in a new paragraph, with indentation of 0,5 cm from the left margin, from the second line.

Read carefully the magazine's Publishing Guidelines before preparing your references so to comply with all criteria.

We strongly recommend that all authors full names are clarified. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references. Following are some examples of common references:

References for theses and dissertations must be avoided. Prefer quotations of the indexed papers that originated the reference. If there is no published paper derived from the thesis or dissertation, quote another paper regarding the same topic.
