Presentation of illustrations

Illustrations should follow the standard adopted by the Journal. The title appears at the TOP of the image preceded by the word that designates it (Drawing, Figure, Flowchart, Chart, etc.), followed by the Arabic numeral, according to the order of occurrence in the text and the respective title. The title should be in a smaller font than the text, justified, with single line spacing.

The authorship information of the illustration should also be in a smaller font than the text, containing the information “Source:” followed by the source information. If the illustration is from other authors, it should be: “Source: Garcia, Guerra, and Castro (2024, p. 21)”. If it was adapted from other authors, use: “Source: Adapted from Garcia (2024)”. When the illustration was created by the authors of the submission, use: “Source: Castro (2020)”.

Regarding charts, they should have all borders closed, the body should be in Arial 10, single line spacing, without spacing before and after the paragraph, with alignment to make the content of the table understandable. The window should be auto-adjusted. It is noteworthy that charts contain only text.

Example:

Descrição de atividades A (Arial, 10)	Descrição de atividades B
Editores executivos: (espaço simples) Revisão textual Revisão de formatação Linguagem e nível de escrita Encaminhamento de artigos para avaliadores	Editores adjuntos: Decisões políticas  Atualização em conhecimentos editoriais Orientações aos editores executivos Designações de artigos para editores

Source: Authors (2020). (Arial, 9, normal)

Presentation of equations and formulas 

Equations and formulas should be highlighted in the text to facilitate reading. They should be presented centered, with numbering in Arabic numerals placed in parentheses and aligned to the right. They should be separated from the preceding and succeeding text by an “enter” (Arial, 10, regular). 

Example:

 

                                                          x2 + y2 = z2                                                                            (1)

                                                    (x2 + y2) / 5 = n                                                                          (2)

Presentation of tables

It is important to note that tables present numbers, unlike charts which contain only text. At the top of the table, the word “Table” should appear, followed by the numbering (using Arabic numerals), according to the order of occurrence in the text, and the title, separated by a dash. The word “Table,” the number, and the dash should be in bold.  

The body of the table should be in Arial 10, single line spacing, without spacing before and after the paragraph, with alignment to make the content of the table understandable. The left and right sides should not have borders and should be auto-adjusted to the window.
