Clinical trial registration: 'Saúde em Debate' journal supports the policies for clinical trial registration of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), thus recognizing its importance to the registry and international dissemination of information on clinical trial. Thus, clinical researches should contain the identification number on one of the Clinical Trials registries validated by WHO and ICMJE, whose addresses are available at http://www.icmje.org. Whenever a trial registration number is available, authors should list it at the end of the abstract.

Articles with research involving human beings should make it clear, in the material and methods section, the compliance with ethical principles and send a declaration of responsibility in the act of submission.
The journal respects the authors' style and creativity regarding the text composition; nevertheless, the text must contemplate conventional elements, such as:
Introduction: with clear definition of the investigated problem and its rationale;
Material and methods: objectively described in a clear and objective way, allowing the reproductbility of the research. In case it involves human beings, the approval number of the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) must be registered;
