Author Guidelines

We recommend using either the MS Word template supplied here or the LaTex template supplied here (or available on Overleaf) when preparing the article.

The paper must be typed in a format that is either open or compatible with MS Word, have from 12 to 30 pages, including the References, and formatted as follows:

pages configured in A4 format, without numbers, with 2.5 cm margins;

text formatted in one column, Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.5cm spacing between lines from the Introduction section (except in References, which have single spacing between lines) and indentation of the first line of 1.25 cm (except in References and section titles, which are left-justified and should not be indented);

all text typed before the first section (1. Introduction) must be formatted with single spacing between lines.

Papers will be presented according to the following sequential organization:

TITLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT (same font and size of the text, typed in the same language as the text, in upper case, centered, and in bold; please underline two or three words in the title that should be highlighted).

TITLE OF MANUSCRIPT IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE FROM THE TEXT (with the same formatting of the TITLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT, and separated from it by two blank lines by pressing the "Enter" key twice, which should also be done to separate the title in a foreign language from the type of contribution).

Type of Contribution (same font and size of text, left-aligned, in bold, only the first letter capitalized): Theoretical Essay, Pilot Study, Project Registry, Experience Report, Research Report, Literature Review, Tutorial. Press the "Enter" key twice after the Contribution Type.

Author(s) (same font and size of the text, left-aligned, in bold, only the first letter in capital letters. In the case of more than one author, the first will be considered the author and the other co-authors; their names must be separated with an "Enter" between them. A footnote should be inserted indicating the following information about the authors, separated by a period: title, affiliation (university, school, department, etc), city, state, country, email, iD ORCID, and, in the case of co-authorship, the roles of each author in the production of the article, according to CRediT taxonomy). Press the "Enter" key twice after the last author's name.

ABSTRACT (same font and size as the text, typed in uppercase, justified alignment, in bold). The text of the ABSTRACT must be typed in the same font and size as the text, written in the language of the manuscript, with only the first letter capitalized, without bold, in only one paragraph of text, containing 150 to 250 words. When appropriate, it should present the objective(s) of the research, the methodology, and the main results).

KEYWORDS (separated from the ABSTRACT with an "Enter." There must be 3 to 5 keywords separated by a dot, written in the language of the manuscript, and typed in the same font and size as the text, with only the first letter capitalized).

ABSTRACT (separated from KEYWORDS with two lines by pressing "Enter." ABSTRACT in a different language of the manuscript, following the same characteristics described above for the abstract in the language of the manuscript).

KEYWORDS (separated from ABSTRACT with one line by pressing "Enter." KEYWORDS in a different language from the manuscript, following the same characteristics described above for the keywords in the language of the manuscript).

LAY SUMMARY (separated from KEYWORDS with two lines by pressing "Enter." The lay summary should summarize the focus and findings of the article using non-technical terminology as it is intended to make the work of the author(s) accessible to the interested non-expert. The text in the lay summary should be written so that it will be accessible to a non-academic person. The lay summary should be no longer than 200 words. As with the main abstract, avoid citations, acronyms, and abbreviations. Please read our Lay Summary Guidelines).

Section titles (e.g., Introduction, Section on theoretical background, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion). Section titles should be numbered (except for Introduction, Acknowledgments, if any, and References), formatted in bold, only the first initial capital letter, and separated from the text before and after it by a blank line (one "Enter").

The illustrations (Tables, Graphs, Figures, Tables) should have their legends and contents in the text font, size 10, without bold. The legend (title) of each illustration should begin with the name of the illustration to which it refers (in bold), numbered sequentially (for example Table 1., Table 2., Graph 1., Graph 2.), and inserted below the illustration. The source should be cited (in case of previously published illustrations). All illustrations should be inserted in the body of the text immediately after the paragraph in which they are cited and not in the form of annexes. Please try to use grayscale illustrations whenever possible. If you have to use colored images, please make sure that they are friendly to colorblind people.

Special symbols must be typed in Unicode. For information on phonetic fonts in Unicode, visit the SIL website.

Italics should only be used to mark words or phrases in a language other than that used in the body of the text.

The notes should appear as footnotes rather than endnotes and be restricted to content, not to citations. Times New Roman font, size 10.

Acknowledgments and mention of research funding (scholarships, financial aid, and the respective funding agencies) that enabled the research should not be included in a footnote but in an Acknowledgments section at the end of the article before the References.

The citations should follow the ABNT norms. Examples of citations:

In indirect citations (paraphrases), the author should be cited in parentheses by last name, in capital letters, separated by a comma from the year of publication (SWERTS, 1997). If the name of the author is cited in the text, only the year should be indicated in parentheses: According to Oliveira Jr (2000), [...].

When it is necessary to specify the page in the case of direct quotations, the page number should follow the year, separated by a comma and preceded by p. (OLIVEIRA JR, 2000, p. 95). Direct quotations of up to three lines are made inside the text in double quotation marks, while direct quotations of more than three lines should be separated from the text with a 4cm indentation to the left, font size 10, without quotation marks, and without indentation of the first line.

The citations of several works by the same author published in the same year should be distinguished by lower case letters after the year without a space (FERREIRA, 2007a).

When the work has two or three authors, all may be indicated, separated by semicolons (HUETTIG; ROMMERS; MEYER, 2011); when there are more than three authors, the first name is indicated, followed by et al. (ALMEIDA et al., 2013). In this case, it is advisable to indicate all authors in the References.

After the main text but before the reference list, the following information must be included, when applicable.

Competing interests (required)

If any of the authors have any competing interests, then these must be declared. Information about competing interests can be found here. If there are no competing interests to declare, then the following statement must appear in this section: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper. If there are competing interests to declare, complete the following statement: The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: [LIST HERE].

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

CadLin's peer review process is open and transparent. In this process, the authors and the reviewers are not anonymous to each other and the reviewer's detailed feedback is published as part of the paper, along with the author's responses. We believe that this approach corroborates the scrutiny and curation of a peer-reviewed publication and helps to re-establish bonds of trust with the community. Besides, it allows reviewers to be recognized and rewarded for the important work they do. The reviewers’ contribution is duly credited in the published article.
