Author Guidelines

The article submission process will be carried out exclusively online through the journal's OJS platform, published on the intranet and internet.

Submitting your article consists of five very simple steps:

1st “DETAILS” …The title that was previously entered is entered in English and Spanish. Here, if the author wishes, he/she can change or correct the title. Enter the same keywords in the three languages ​​(Portuguese, English and Spanish). The same goes for the abstract (it is necessary to have previously checked that no version of the abstract exceeds 250 words because the platform will point out the error). Finally, at this stage, enter the bibliographic references. All this information is taken from the original document that will be sent.

2nd “UPLOAD FILES”… A link will appear that allows you to search your computer for the article that will be evaluated in Word format. The images, tables, graphs and figures will be inserted into this document containing their respective links in the text.

3rd “COLLABORATORS”… Here the system recognizes as the first author the person who is submitting the article with all of their data entered during registration, without which the submission could not be made. However, you have the possibility to edit this data to add or remove it.

Here the co-authors will be added and ordered as agreed; it is not enough for them to appear in the original that was uploaded, they must be placed here, this is where the editors will take the information necessary for the production process.
4th “FOR EDITORS”… There is no need to take any action unless you want to send specific information to the editors, such as a proposal for who or who could be the reviewers of your work. If you send proposals for reviewers, you must attach the correct first and last names of each one, the ORCID, the institution to which they belong, email and a summary of your CV that will allow us to decide whether you are a suitable professional to fulfill the role of external reviewer for this journal.
Bearing in mind that this journal assumes open review where all those involved can communicate to achieve the highest possible quality article. Save and continue.
5th “REVIEW”… This last step is important because the system will notify you of any errors or pending information during the submission process. The author also confirms his/her agreement with the copyright statement by clicking on the corresponding box.
It is worth noting that the submission process is not an action that must be completed at the same time as it is started; the information can be saved in the current step and continued at any other time. Likewise, at each step you can return to the previous one and make the necessary corrections.
Upon completion of the submission process, authors will receive an email notifying them that their work has been received.
From that moment on, they will be able to monitor the progress of their manuscript through the journal's online platform, after identifying themselves with a “username” and “password”.
To submit a manuscript electronically, you must consult and follow the instructions available in “Uniform Requirements for Manuscript Submission”.
