ATTENTION:
The non-fulfillment of ANY of the items described in the instructions to authors and in the checklist for authors is sufficient for the REFUSAL of the manuscript at any stage/round of evaluation, which is why the Editorial Commission strongly recommends the authors to make a thorough review/formal adaptation of the manuscript before submission.
The journals’ office will verify it: (a) compliance of the manuscript with instructions to authors (publication norms); (b) compliance of the manuscript with the authors’ checklist. If there are any pending issues, the authors will have TWO OPPORTUNITIES for adaptation. Manuscripts pending more than twice due to inadequacy of the instructions to authors (publication norms) and the checklist will not be able to be submitted/received again.
Manuscripts have to be submitted exclusively through the electronic publication process management system (ScholarOne) available at http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/paideia-scielo.

In the case of manuscripts on validation of scales, follow the guidelines below:
1. Forward the original version of the scale (in the original language) as an additional document in the system;
2. Insert the scale validated into Portuguese as an appendix of the manuscript (in this case, pages referring to this appendix will not be considered in the page limits established by the journal guidelines).
3. In tables related to the items of the scale, insert the name of the item in the original language and its correspondence in Portuguese (for cases in which the scale was originally published in other language).
In the submission, in the proper field, the author's ORCID® (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) registration number must be included in the system. All authors must have an updated record in ScholarOne, associated with ORCID. Remember that only the owners of their accounts can fill in or validate the ORCID with their own password. It is not possible for third parties to fill in and / or validate.
In the case of an author who does not have an ORCID number, they shall register through the link: https://orcid.org/register . The registration is free, for more information visit the link: https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/mission . The journal is not responsible for instructing the author about the registration in the ORCID platform.
Manuscripts submitted via ScholarOne receive a numerical identification protocol.
Paidéia fully adopts the publication standards of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition, 2020). The APA orientation prevails over any possible omission of information in the following detailing. It is important to observe some steps before submitting the manuscript: (1) carefully revise the text for grammatical correction, typos and bibliographic errors, also considering the items included in the submission; (2) check whether all requisites of the Publication Guidelines were complied with the submission checklist.
When submitting, the manuscript should be submitted to Paidéia in Portuguese, except for the cases of full foreign authorship (English and/or Spanish) one.
Texts should be formatted as follows: double lining (distance of 1 cm between lines), justified, in font Times New Roman, size 12, across the text, respecting the page limit. The manuscript should be numbered. The A4 format should be adopted, with 2.5cm margins (upper, lower, left and right) and indentation of the first line of the paragraph: tab = 1.25cm.
The presentation of the papers has to follow a specific order, considering:
1. Title page without personal data, including:
1.1. Full title in Portuguese, not exceeding 12 words;
1.2. Full title in English, compatible with the Portuguese version;
1.3. Full title in Spanish, compatible with the Portuguese version;
1.4. Suggested running title in English, not exceeding 50 characters (including letters, punctuation and spaces).
ATTENTION: As the manuscript is submitted to blind review. The authors are responsible for checking that there are no elements capable of identifying them in any part of the text. Paidéia is not responsible for procedures by authors who do not comply with this guideline. The author’s name should be removed from the file properties, using the tool “Properties”, in the file menu of MS Word, and from any other part of the submitted manuscript. It is essential that the file referring to the manuscript has no form of authorship identification, which includes mentions to institutions to which the authors are linked, details on the method that made possible the identification or origin etc. Authors whose manuscript was recommended for publication may include these information in the step of final revision.No attachments and appendices will be accepted, nor colored illustrations, reproductions of photographs, shadowed tables or footnotes in the text. Reproduction of any part of published works will only be permitted if accompanied by the authors’ authorization for publication in Paidéia.
In case of approval, papers will be published in the full version in English. In other words, for publication, the authors have to provide for the translation of the manuscript (as approved) to English and cover the costs of this translation. To guarantee the quality and uniformity of texts translated into English, only accredited translators are allowed to perform these translations. The Committee of Accredited Translators comprises highly qualified professionals with proven experience in scientific translations. Paidéia does not collect charges for submission, evaluation or publication (APCs and submission charges).
2. Abstract, in Portuguese. The abstract limit is 150 words. In case of research reports, the abstract should include: a short description of the research problem, purpose, relevant sample characteristics, data collection method, results and conclusions (or final considerations for qualitative studies). Final considerations should present the implications or applications of the produced knowledge. For research reports, the method should provide consistent information about the participants (number of participants and their stage of development: child, adult, teenager, elderly), name of the instruments and procedures used. Only the most important results, which respond to the research purposes, should be mentioned in the abstract (written in a continuous manner). No references should be included.
3. Abstract. The abstract limit is 150 words. It should comply with the same specifications as the Portuguese version, including the Keywords, in accordance with the Vocabulary of Terms in Psychology.
4. Resumen. The abstract limit is 150 words. It should comply with the same specifications as the Portuguese version, including the Palabras clave, in accordance with the Vocabulary of Terms in Psychology.
5. The text itself. The organization of the manuscript should be easy to recognize, signaled by a system of titles and subtitles that reflect this pattern. The text should start with an introduction and include the following headings: Method, Results and Discussion. As the introduction of the manuscript is easily identified by its place in the text, the heading Introduction is not necessary. This section should be about the development of the problem in research; at the end, it should state the purpose of the study, whose wording must be identical to that in the summary in Portuguese. In the research reports, the Method section must include the following subheadings: Participants (must adequately describe the characteristics of the participants and the inclusion and exclusion criteria used to compose the study sample), Instruments, Procedure (the latter subdivided into Data collection and Data analysis) and, finally, the subheading Ethical Considerations, in which the authors should mention the approval of the Research Ethics Committee, but not the name of the institution the committee is affiliated with and the CAAE number since this information should be in the identified title page, as mentioned before. Authors whose manuscript was recommended for publication must include this information during the final revision step. Authors should finish the Discussion section with a well reasoned comment, justifying the importance of the study findings. In this section, the authors should present the main contributions the research offers to the knowledge area within Psychology. Besides the implications and possible applications of the knowledge produced, authors should also point out the limitations of the study and its consequences in terms of prospects for future investigations.
Suggested places to include figures and tables have to be indicated in the text. Quotations of other authors have to be done according to APA standards, as exemplified under section VII. Full transcriptions of a text have to be delimited by quotation marks and reference to the author, followed by the number of the page referred to. A literal quotation with 40 or more words has to be presented in a single block, starting with a new line, 05 (five) spaces from the border, in the same position as a paragraph. The font size should be 12, similar to the rest of the text. This type of citation should be avoided Authors are fully responsible for the contents and exactness of citations.
6. References. The references used should be coherent with the study’s theoretical-methodological framework. In this sense, literature on the research theme should be recovered, privileging scientific papers to the detriment of other publication modes. References should be up-to-date. The manuscript must present between 20 and 28 references, and 50% of these references must be from journal articles published in the last five years. Exception: manuscripts in the "systematic literature review" category. Non-compliance with this guideline implies return of the manuscript to the authors. Only two (total) self-citations/references to the authors of the manuscript submitted are allowed. Manuscripts with more than two self-citations will be returned to the authors at any stage of the editorial process, even after approval for publication. If this correction is not made, the manuscript will be filed.
7. Figures and Tables should be inserted in the text of the document. The words Figure and Table in the texts should always be spelled with the first letter in upper case, followed by the respective number they refer to. Expressions like “the Table above” or the “Figure below” should not be used, as locations can change during the editing process. APA standards do not include the names Charts and Graphs, but only Tables and Figures. Figures and Tables should be presented with their respective legends and titles, one per page.
7.1 Figures, including subtitles, in black and white. As the published version cannot exceed 8.3 cm width for single figures and 17.5 cm width for complex figures, the author should make sure that no subtitle quality is lost in case width reduction is necessary. Reproductions of drawings will not be accepted. The quantity of figures and tables cannot exceed five. Figures and drawings must have a resolution of 600 dpi or higher. Graphics and drawings should be generated in vector drawing programs (Microsoft Excel, CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator etc.). Graphs displayed with gridlines are not supported, and elements (bars, circles) cannot display volume (3-D). For figures or tables published in other sources, one must attach in the system a document that certifies the specific permission to the authors of the submitted manuscript and Paidéia magazine for publication. In the body of the figure or table, the appropriate source must be mentioned. In the case of photographs, it is necessary to send a declaration with the authorization for use of specific image to the authors of the manuscript and to Paidéia magazine. In addition to being included in the manuscript file, the figures must be attached in an editable format, as an addition document in the system.
The following editing programs are supported: Excel, GraphPrism, SPSS 22, Corel Draw Suite X7, Word and Power Point. Only the following extensions are accepted: .cdr, .pzf, .spv, .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .vsdx, .vst.
7.2 Tables, including titles and notes, should be produced in black and white, one per page. The table cannot exceed (17.5 x 23.7) cm (width x length). When preparing them, the author should limit the width to 60 characters for single tables to occupy a diagrammed column, including three character-spaces between table columns, limiting complex tables to a 125-character width to occupy two diagrammed columns. The table length cannot exceed 55 lines, including title and footnotes. For other details, especially for anomalous cases, please refer to APA’s manual. The quantity of figures and tables cannot exceed five units.
Numerical and statistical information should be presented in compliance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition, 2020).
The authors should solve occasional inconsistencies between APA standards and writing in Portuguese, in view of general rules for writing in that language.
Formatting of the manuscript, tables, figures and other elements should strictly comply with the APA manual. Non-compliance with these elements can represent a reason for the Editorial Board to reject the manuscript.
