INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

• Instructions for manuscript preparation and submission
• Manuscript preparation
• Examples of references

These instructions aim to advise authors on the Standards RLAE adopts in the manuscript review and publication process. These instructions are based on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publications, Vancouver style, formulated by the “International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), 2008, translation by Sofie Tortelboom Aversari Martins, University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing.

Periodical mission
To publish scientific research results in nursing and related areas which contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and professional practice.

Editorial policy
The Latin American Journal of Nursing – RLAE prioritizes articles on results of recent original research.
Besides its regular issues, RLAE sometimes publishes special issues, which follow the same publication process as regular issues, with all manuscripts going through peer review.
Manuscripts should be submitted to RLAE only. Simultaneous submission of the full or partial texts is strictly prohibited.
RLAE strongly discourages reports on the same research in multiple manuscripts.

Thematic area
Nursing and related areas

Target Public
Researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, nurses and professionals from related areas.
 
Copyrigth
Copyright ownership is of exclusive property of the Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem (RLAE) and is transferred through the Transfer of Copyright Agreement (which is in the individual declaration form) signed by all the authors. For the use of articles, RLAE adopts the Creative Commons License CC BY-NC, Attribution non-commercial (summary or full license code). With this license is allowed access, download, copy, print, share, reuse, and distribute the articles, since for non-commercial use and citation of the source, giving due copyright credits to the RLAE. In such cases, no permission is required from the authors or the publishers.

Review process
RLAE’s publication process is managed electronically. Authors submit their manuscript online and receive a reference number. Then, editors review the study to check for its contribution to scientific knowledge advancement in Nursing. Next, the manuscript is sent to three reviewers for analysis, based on RLAE’s review instrument.
The anonymous peer review system is used, in which authors’ and reviewers’ names are omitted. Associate editors check reviewers’ opinions in relation to the contents and pertinence. Manuscripts can be accepted, returned for reformulation or rejected.
After associate editors have accepted the manuscripts, the article is forwarded for approval by the Scientific Chief Editor, who has full authority to decide on acceptance and/or required changes. Afterwards the journal’s opinion is sent to the authors.

Clinical trial registration
RLAE support clinical trial registration policies by the World Health Organization – WHO and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors – ICMJE, acknowledging the importance of these initiatives for the registration and international dissemination of information on clinical studies, through open access. Thus, clinical research articles will only be accepted if they received an identification number from one of the Clinical Essay databases, validated by the criteria set by WHO and ICMJE, whose addresses are available at: HTTP://www.icmje.org. The identification number should be registered at the end of the abstract.

Article categories

Original articles
These contributions aim to disseminate results of original and unedited research, with possible replication and/or generalization.
This category also includes in-depth theoretical reflections and qualitative research in general.

Systematic review
Uses a research method conducted by summarizing the results of original quantitative or qualitative studies and aims to answer a specific question of relevance to Nursing and/or health. Describes the process of seeking original studies in detail, the criteria used to select the publications included in the review and the procedures used to summarize the results obtained by the reviewed studies (which may be meta-analysis or meta-synthesis procedures or not). Systematic reviews depart from the following premises: exhaustive search for studies, selection justified by explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria, assessment of methodological quality and use of statistical techniques to quantify the results.

Letters to the Editor
Includes letters to discuss recent articles published in RLAE, report on original research or significant scientific findings.

Manuscript structure
Although RLAE attempts to respect the authors’ creativity and style in the manuscript format, a conventional structure should be adopted, including introduction, methods, results, discussion and conclusion, highlighting the study’s contributions to the advancement of nursing knowledge.
The Introduction should be short, clearly define the research question, highlighting its importance and knowledge gaps. References should also be included if strictly relevant.
The Methods used, study population, data sources and selection criteria should be described objectively and completely.
The Results section should be limited to a description of the results found, without including interpretations or comparisons. The text should complement and not repeat the content of tables and figures.
The Discussion emphasizes the new and important aspects of the study and resulting conclusions. Data or any other information included in the Introduction or Results should not be repeated. For experimental studies, starting the discussion with a brief summary of the main findings is useful, and then exploring possible mechanisms or explanations for these results, comparing and contrasting the results with other relevant studies. Articles published in RLAE should clearly indicate their contributions and limitations, and also explore how their findings influence future research and clinical practice.
The Conclusion should be linked with the study objectives, describing only the data found. Authors should specifically avoid assertions on economic benefits and costs, unless the manuscript contains appropriate economic data and analyses. New hypotheses can be established when this is the case, clearly indicating that these are hypotheses.

Authorship
RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
 Authors are fully responsible for the concepts disseminated in their manuscripts, which do not necessarily reflect the editors’ and editorial board’s opinion.

Publication
Articles are published in three languages. The print version is issued in English, while the online version, available for open access, is available in Portuguese, English and Spanish.

Submission
Authors are expected to submit their manuscript in one language (English, or Portuguese, or Spanish) and, in case of approval, the authors should provide for the translation in accordance with RLAE recommendations.
The submission of manuscripts is available only through the on line system at www.eerp.usp.br/rlae.
At the moment of submission the author must add to the system:
- filled-out checklist (download www.eerp.usp.br/rlae)
- signed and scanned individual declaration form (download www.eerp.usp.br/rlae)
- article file
- Approval of the Research Ethics Committee or declaration informing that the research did not involve human beings directly or indirectly.
The checklist is essential to help the author in the preparation of the manuscript according to RLAE rules.
The Journal will check the manuscript, the checklist and the documentation, and if there is anything missing or incorrect, adjustments will be required. If requirements for adjustment are not fulfilled, the submission will be automatically canceled.

Manuscripts annulment policy
Manuscripts received by and cancelled or refused by RLAE will be immediately removed from the Journal’s files.
Files of published articles will be stored for five years and then eliminated.

Translation and grammatical correction
All papers are published in Portuguese, English and Spanish. After Editorial Board approval, the papers are forwarded for grammatical correction of the original language and translation to the other two languages.
To guarantee translation quality, translations will only be accepted after certification by one of the companies RLAE has accredited for this purpose.
Authors are allowed to choose one among the accredited translators, complying with deadlines for returning the translated version. Authors should settle any translations costs directly with the company hired for this purpose.

Submission fee
A submission fee of R$ 150 is charged, to be deposited on behalf of EERP/USP Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem, Account Number: 8486-7, Agency number: 1964-X - Banco do Brasil, CNPJ: 63025530/0027-43. This fee will not be returned for manuscripts not accepted for publication.
