Informação para Autores

The articles must be original and unpublished and they must be based on results from research. Articles derived from theses and dissertations are welcome.

We do not accept texts that contain a simple bibliographic review, without the research method or approach being original. If part of the results presented have already been disclosed, the design of the text and its main conclusions must be original and unpublished.

Please read the Peer Review Process carefully prior to writing or submitting the article.

Articles can be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English.

Files should not contain user information (in properties) and should not exceed 5MB.

Preparing your manuscript

Title: the title of your article should be brief (maximum 15 words) and sufficiently specific and descriptive, containing the keywords that reflect the content of the text.

Responsibility: indication of authorship of the article must be made only in the System (never in the submitted file), providing the full name, main current occupation, main institution to which you are associated, professional address, telephone and e-mail of all the authors, according to the example below:

NAME, Postgraduate Program in Civil Engineering (PPGEC), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Caixa Postal 7100; CEP 03999-999, Porto Alegre - RS, Tel. 51 33169000, E-mail: fulano@ufrgs.br

Abstract: your abstract must be 100 to 200 words in Portuguese, followed by a translation into English. The abstract should present clearly and succinctly the context, the research problem, objective, a brief description of the method and results achieved, characterizing the contribution to scientific knowledge.

Keywords: after the abstract, at least three and at most six keywords should be included to help identify the main subjects addressed in the article.

Article: the text should include an introduction with the purpose of informing the reader about the subject that will be addressed and updating them about any existing knowledge. A brief bibliographical review should be presented, referring to the main references on which the work was based.

A substantial part of the article should be for describing the development of the research and discussing the results obtained. The description, although brief, should be clear, enabling the reader to fully understand the procedure adopted, or to have access to it by references cited. The research method should be presented in detail, including the outline or strategies used, as well as clearly specified data collection and analysis tools.

An item containing conclusive comments is considered essential, highlighting the main aspects of the research and their contributions to the existing knowledge.

References should be presented according to the instructions, but you should not include too many. If possible, avoid:

- references to general knowledge on the topic addressed;

- secondary references (apud);

- many references to a single argument;

- predominance of own references.

References: references should be cited at the end of the article in alphabetical order, according to NBR 6023 - References - Elaboration (2002).
