Submission Preparation Checklist

  • To ensure blind review and the confidentiality it requires you have removed any mention of the authorship from the text in all parts of the file, including the option properties on Word; you have also removed notes and references to institutions, groups or researches that may indirectly identify the authors of the text. If you have any questions on this matter, see: “Ensuring blind peer review”.

Author Guidelines

1) The Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença publishes only unpublished articles resulting from research, studies, debates, artistic and scientific practices in the area of the performing arts and associated fields. We publish previously unpublished texts in Portuguese or Spanish. The editors may invite Portuguese or Spanish-language authors to send English versions for bilingual publication (is mandatory). The journal accepts unpublished texts in English and French from foreign authors and provides Portuguese translations for bilingual publication.

2) The texts should be in the form of articles, emphasizing the theoretical dimension and presenting a unique and important contribution to the area. The author(s) is(are) fully responsible for the format and content of his/her (their) article.

3) It is recommended that the texts about performances, spectacles, or similar, present images and/or video which should be included in the text body, captioned below the insertion, single-spaced and centralised. The authors declare that they have permission to use the images inserted.

4) Texts composing thematic sections organised by invited or voluntary researcher must be entered into the system by the author themselves, and go through the same process of peer review. See details under “Peer review process.”

5) The texts must be sent through the SEER system (www.seer.ufrgs.br/presenca) where the authors' data have to be entered exclusively into the electronic form, including the email address and a biography of a maximum of three lines, emphasizing institutional links, as well as academic and artistic education. The funding source of the research, when appropriate, must be mentioned in the appropriate box. The text file must be free from any kind of identification, be it the authors' names in the text body or in the file properties, or the mention of any information through which the authorship of the text might be inferred. If you have difficulties in anonymising the article, just mention that in “comments to the editor” during the online submission process.

6) The texts must be in Word format as follows:

(6.1) 1.5 line spacing;

(6.2) font: Times New Roman, size 12 points;

(6.3) quotations longer than three lines should be detached from the text body, single spaced, font size 10, without quotation marks and indented 4 cm from the left margin;

(6.4) justified margins with paragraphs 1.25 cm from the left margin;

(6.5) double quotation marks are only used for direct quotations in the text;

(6.6) italics are used in foreign words, neologisms, particular uses and titles of works. Bold is not used in these cases;

(6.7) underline is used only in URLs;

(6.8) the articles should be formatted for A4 paper size and have between 25,000 and 60,000 characters (with spaces), including references, notes and tables;

(6.9) the article must start with a cover sheet stating the title (up to 100 characters), abstract (between 400 and 700 characters) and five keywords; title in French, résumé, and five mots-clés (of the same size).

7) References should be in the author/date format as follows: (Author's surname, year) for indirect quotations and (Author's surname, year, page) for direct quotations. Examples: (Silva, 1997) or (Silva, 1997, p.452). Different titles by the same author and year should be identified with a letter that distinguishes them. Example: (Silva, 1997a, p.452).

8) References at the end of the text must comply with ABNT rules (available at http://www.ufrgs.br/faced/setores/biblioteca/referencias.html [Portuguese only]). We point out to the fact that the journal does not make use (due to the electronic data retrieval) of a dash to replace the author's name to avoid repetition. Titles should not be in italics but in bold.
