Original texts that fall into the following categories will be accepted:
In special cases, texts that have already been published in foreign journals, subject to the same evaluation of unpublished originals, will be accepted. However, in such cases, the author must submit an authorization, with the signature of the editor of the journal in which the text was originally published, attached online, by the publishing system of the Journal.
After adapted to the norms, the original texts should be submitted electronically at the site www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/PsicolEstud, in text editor Word for Windows 6.0 or later version, double-spaced (everywhere of the manuscript) in Times New Roman font, size 12, not exceeding the number of pages appropriate to the category of the work. The page layout should be A4, with a 2.54cm formatting for the top and bottom, left and right margins. Do not use the “AutoCorrect - Track Changes” feature of Word.
The figures, tables and graphs must, in addition to the specific instructions below, consider that: a maximum of five (5) will be accepted, considering the sum of these categories.
Figures, including legend, one per page in paper, placed at the end of the text, in the same file, in sequence to the references. To ensure quality reproduction, the figures containing drawings must be submitted with high-quality (300 dpi minimum resolution). As the published version cannot exceed the width of 11.5 cm for figures, the author must take care that the subtitles maintain reading quality, if reduction is necessary.
Tables, including title and notes, must be presented one per page, placed at the end of the text, in the same file, following the references section. In the publication, the table cannot exceed 11.5 cm wide x 17.5 cm long. The length of the table should not exceed 55 rows, including title and footnote(s). For further details, especially in cases not included in these Guidelines, the APA manual should be consulted.
Any text submitted online to the Journal must be accompanied by a letter signed by all authors (see the template below), where the intent of submission or new submission of the work to the publication is made explicit. This letter must also contain authorization for reformulation of language, if necessary to meet the standards of the Journal. In the case of multiple authored text, a maximum of six authors will be accepted. In case of more than four authors, it is necessary to include a note at the end of the manuscript indicating the contribution of each. It is important to note that the total of the files sent electronically cannot exceed 3MB and in the file containing the text there can be no identification, not even in Word properties, to guarantee the blind review evaluation.
Use single space in the references section, with double space to separate them. References should be cited in alphabetical order by surnames of the authors. In cases of reference to multiple studies by the same author, use chronological order, that is, from the oldest to the most recent study of this author. Author names should not be replaced by dashes. For more information, consult APA manual (6th edition) https://www.apastyle.org/.
