Author Guidelines

The journal Alea: Estudos Neolatinos operates through the Scielo online submission system. Therefore, articles will be sent exclusively through this platform. In order to submit their work to the journal, each author must register by simply accessing the link:

http://submission.scielo.br/index.php/alea/user/register

Authors must correctly fill in their profile, observing the mandatory fields (those with an asterisk). They must also inform the ORCID account address in the ORCID Id field and fill in the “Institution/Affiliation” field. In “Register as”, choose the “Author” option. Click on “Register” at the bottom of the page to “save” the given information. Once registered, the user can proceed with the steps requested by the system to submit and send their manuscript, through the following link:

IMPORTANT: If the author is already registered, it is necessary to verify, and eventually provide, the ORCID and institutional information. To do so, after logging in, you must edit the “Profile” (in the user menu, at the top right of the page). There, in the “Contact” tab, fill in the “Institution/Affiliation” field. Then, in the “Public” tab, click on the “Create or connect your ORCID iD” button and follow the instructions.

Authors who opt for preprint and subsequent or simultaneous submission to Alea: Estudos Neolatinos must: a) have their manuscript deposited exclusively on the SciELO Preprints server (https://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo); and b) inform that the manuscript is deposited on the SciELO preprints server, as well as its name and URL/DOI both in the “Comments to the Editor” field and in the “Open Science Compliance Form” (document to be filled out and attached as a supplementary PDF file at the time of submission).

In the case of collectively authored works, the main author must include the names of all coauthors in the submission metadata, following a descending order according to the different degrees of participation.

Format, Author Data and Bibliographic References

The format of works must be compatible with Windows, and the texts must have side margins of 3 cm, font size 12 and 1.5 line spacing, sent in a file without author identification.

Content notes must be formatted as footnotes. The bibliographic references will follow the ABNT style [in the body of the text and in parentheses: AUTHOR, year of publication, and page number(s)]. At the end of the article, the author must list the bibliographic references cited throughout the text in alphabetical order, containing the author’s name, the title of the work or article and the work in which it is included, the place, the publisher, the date of publication and page number(s), as shown in the examples below. Quotations in a foreign language must be accompanied by a translation in Portuguese.

ENSURING BLIND PEER REVIEWING: It is important to remember that the author’s name cannot appear in the text sent to the journal. If the author cites his, her or themself in the work, he, she or they must replace the references to his, her or their name with “author”, in addition to not citing the title of the work in question. If the article is accepted, this information must be included later, in the review stage, along with a small biographical presentation (up to six lines), stating full name, degree, institution, position and most relevant publications.
