Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• I understand that there are publishing costs APC (see 'Notices' section) when my item is accepted.
• The submission has not been previously published or submitted for consideration by any other Journal (or an explanation has been provided in the Editor's Comments).
• I attach the letter of authorship and assignment of rights with which all signatory authors agree.
• The file with the text is COMPLETE including: title, authors, summary, keywords, full text with built-in figures and tables, bibliography (see Publishing Standards).
  
  ATTENTION: To ensure anonymous peer review, DO NOT include here the cover letter, assignment of rights or any identification of the authors.
  
• The text has simple leading; Arial 12 points font size; italics are used instead of underscore (except in URLs); and all illustrations, figures and tables are placed in the appropriate text places, rather than at the end. The text is in a file formatted as: OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements summarized in the Author's Guidelines, which appear in About the Journal. Where possible, URLs and DOIs are provided for bibliographic references in accordance with Vancouver standards.
• Attached the main sheet containing:
  (a) Title (in Spanish or Portuguese and English); b) Authors and c) affiliation.
• IMPORTANT! Before sending the original, I will make sure that I have saved in the system the complete data of all the authors (names, work centers, e-mail, ORCID identifier, etc.). This is the obligation of the authors to guarantee the authorship of the originals. The publisher must not modify the authorship data that you enter.
