Structured abstract

In place of the common summary, IJSM now asks authors to include a structured summary (maximum 250 words + title + keywords = in Portuguese, English and Spanish) comprising:

Title

Objective of the study (mandatory): The objective of the work, that is, what it intends to demonstrate or describe.

Methodology / approach (mandatory): The scientific method and approach used in conducting the study. In the case of theoretical essays, it is recommended that the author (s) indicate the theoretical approach adopted.

Originality / Relevance (mandatory): The theoretical gap in which the study is inserted, also presenting the scientific relevance of the theme.

Main results (mandatory): Briefly indicate the main results achieved.

Theoretical / methodological contributions (mandatory): The main theoretical and / or methodological implications that have been achieved through the findings of the study.

Social / management contributions (optional): The main managerial and / or social implications achieved through the findings of the study.

Keywords: between three and five keywords that characterize the work.

Introduction

The body of the manuscript follows the abstract, beginning with the INTRODUCTION.

Footnotes

Footnotes should be used in moderation and if possible avoided. In any case, authors should not use footnotes to include references to discussions or presentations of concepts. In these situations authors are asked to consider whether the text is relevant and should be included in the body of the text or whether it is marginal and can be excluded.

Titles and subtitles

The main section titles should be written in bold and align to left.

Second-order titles or subtitles should be aligned to left and written in italic.

Tables and figures

All tables and figures should appear in the text when cited the first time. All tables and figures should be numbered sequentially and should have an explanatory title.

The title number of tables and figures should appear at the top (before the table/figure), with font size 12. Sources and notes should appear at the end, with font size 10 points. 

A representation with columns and rows should be considered as a table and any other type of illustration as a figure. Differentiations between figures, illustrations, graphs, etc., should be avoided, and all should be considered as figures.

References

At the end of the manuscript, a complete list of the references used in the manuscript should be provided. This list should begin with the statement REFERENCES and be alphabetically organized by last name of the first author (or publisher or journal in cases where no single author is identified). References to the same author should be arranged chronologically and, in the case of referencing several works by the same author and the same year, differentiate using the indication of a, b, c, after the year.

The references should be formatted in accordance with the standards of the American Psychological Association (APA). An example is provided below:

Citations in the body of the text

Quotes from or references to works in the body of the text should follow the norm of indicating the names of the authors and the year of publication in parentheses. For example: "several studies (see, Ferreira & Serra, 2009) noted that ..."

The page number should be indicated only in direct and accurate quotes. In these cases, the page number follows the year, separated by comma (,) and a "p.". For example, Ferreira and Serra (2009, p. 23).

If the work in question has multiple authors, the following procedures should be adopted. If the work has only two authors, both names should be used in all citations. If the work has more than two authors, all the names should be cited on the first reference in the manuscript and subsequently simplified using the expression "et al.". For example:

In the first citation: Serra, Fiates e Ferreira (2009)

In the following citations: Serra et al. (2009)

Language and Declarations

The IJSM is making efforts to become an internationalized journal with a greater impact. These efforts intent to increase the number of readers of the journal and, consequently, to increase the impact of published articles. As a way of adapting to international standards, from 2021 onwards, the journal is implementing a bilingual publication policy. All articles will be published in English and in Portuguese or Spanish.

After the article is accepted for its scientific merit, the authors will be responsible for providing the approved version of the text in a second language, accompanied by a translation declaration issued by a qualified professional, with the translator's identification data.

The authors are also responsible for conducting a grammatical / orthographic review of the language in which the article is written (Portuguese, English or Spanish) and the APA standard of the entire article by a professional, who prepares a Text Revision Statement (TRS).

Note: The translated article, the translation certificate and the Text Revision Statement must be attached on the OJS platform as supplementary documents for the submission.

We emphasize that the information contained in the text is the sole responsibility of the authors and the full approval of the publication will be subject to proof of translation and proofreading of the work.

Collect: During registration, the author provides data that are collected, archived, and stored in the journal's database. We do not collect sensitive data. Registration is done voluntarily, and the password is personal and non-transferable.

Use: We use some of the collected data to insert into the formatted articles that will be published. This includes: full name, institution, email (if authorized by the authors), and title. Such data are evaluation criteria for journals, by CAPES/Qualis and indexers. Current indexers can be checked here.

Use of Email: Emails are sent regarding the editorial flow, review statements, published numbers and articles, special calls, guideline changes, and editors. The use of email in the published article is done with the author's permission.

Access: We access the data when editing/updating metadata before publishing to avoid conflicts in depositing the DOI, Orcid id, and Lattes Curriculum.

Transmit: To ensure digital preservation, the journal automatically transmits published issues to the LOCKSS System and Cariniana Network. It is also transmitted for indexing in repositories by the Open Archives Initiative – OAI.

Anonymize: To ensure blind evaluation, all articles sent for evaluation are checked for personal names in properties. If names are found, Word's tool is used to inspect the document and remove properties. The same procedure is adopted when the reviewer annotates the article, and it is necessary to send it to the authors.

Process: Submission data are processed in an XML file or sent by the system to Crossref to generate a DOI number, providing a persistent link for the article and its individualization.

Archive: Registration and submission data, both published and those rejected and archived, remain in the journal's database. In the former case, they are transmitted to LOCKSS and the Cariniana Network according to the Preservation Policy.

Store: Registration and submission data, both those published and those rejected and archived, and registrations that have been requested for deletion, are stored in the journal's database.

Delete: Registration data are not permanently deleted; they remain undefined, or access may be blocked, in the case of an author who committed plagiarism and/or self-plagiarism, as defined in the Plagiarism Policy. Submission data are not deleted to maintain the article's history and issue statements by authors and reviewers, in accordance with Article 16 of Law no. 13.709/18. Document properties of articles are deleted to maintain the integrity of blind peer review. At any time, users are free to request deletion from the Journal's database and thus no longer receive communications from it.

Evaluate: Submission data are evaluated for correct completion to avoid conflicts with DOI, Orcid id, Lattes Curriculum, and indexing. Every user can request an information update, as well as make them in the edit profile.

Data Holder Requests

Any and all requests from data holders can be made through the email: riae@uninove.br

  • Some possible requests include: email changes, name corrections due to misspelling, title, institution, city, country, among others.
