OBSERVATIONS REGARDING THE RULES OF CADERNOS DE ESTUDOS SOCIAIS

Guidelines for authors

Non-observance of the rules for publication by the authors or the absence of a direct relationship with the interdisciplinary field of the journal may result in the rejection of the article without evaluation of the work, and the author may resubmit it after its adaptation.

The responsibility for the initial review, referencing and formatting of the original text according to these standards is the sole responsibility of the authors. The non-observance of the Portuguese rules that result in the ineligibility of the content of the work is one of the criteria for refusal for publication.

To ensure the integrity of the blind peer review for submissions to the journal, some measures must be taken so that the authorship and review of the text are not revealed. For such, authors, editors and reviewers must take the following measures:

1. The authors of the document should exclude their names from the text, replacing them with “Author(s)” and the year of publication, in references and throughout the entire work, instead of authors’ name(s), article title, etc., which must be included in the relevant area in the online submissions item;

1.1 The authors of the document must attach another file, different from the main manuscript, containing the identification, institutional affiliation and ORCID number;

2. In the text editor used, the author’s identification must be removed from the document properties (usually in the menu File > Properties). In the case of Microsoft Office, starting from File in the main menu and clicking on the sequence: File > Save As... > Tools (or Options on Mac) > Security Options... > Remove personal information from file on save > OK > Save;
3. In PDF, authors’ names must also be removed from Document Properties, under File in the main menu;
4. For original submissions, the journal prefers the “doc”, “odt” or “rtf” formats;
5. In case of co-authorship, the names of all authors must be added at the time of submission. If some are not registered in the journal, it is necessary for them to register so that they can be notified of the evaluation process and included as authors in the case of acceptance and publication of the work. It is the responsibility of the authors and co-authors to include their names, with their respective titles and institutional affiliations, in the Cadernos de Estudos Sociais’online system, and the responsible author must, for the submission, to be legally responsible in the case of non-inclusion of all those involved in the elaboration of the text.

Submissions must follow the rules of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) for publications in scientific journals.
