Author Guidelines

  1. Submitted papers can be written in Spanish, French, English, Italian, or Portuguese. Authors may submit 1 paper every two years, even as co-authors. Only unpublished papers written by authors with a doctorate degree will be accepted. That is, professors or researchers without a doctorate degree (undergraduates, graduate certified, master students, masters, and doctoral students or ABD, may submit their papers if at least one other co-author has a doctorate degree). Papers will be published, after peer-review approval, as long as those papers are written following these editorial rules.

  2. Peer-review will be conducted according to the following evaluation criteria:

                1 Clear statement of paper’s purpose;

                2 Clear, consistent, and purposeful theoretical background;

                3 Paper is developed accordingly with chosen theory;

                4 Convincing arguments;

                5 Knowledge of up-to-date bibliography;

                6 Personal perspective of the chosen topic;

                7 Adequate revision and adherence to publication norms.

  1. Papers should be between 12 and 24 pages, including appendices, and should be written in Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, or Italian. The paper should be organized as follows: title of work in the language it is written in and in English (in case of papers written in foreign language, the title should be in Portuguese), capitalized and centered; abstract in the language of the article and in English (or Portuguese for articles written in foreign languages); keywords in the original language and in English (or Portuguese for articles written in foreign language); text; references; and appendices. The submitted paper should not contain the identification of the authors and the personal information must be removed.

  2. Text should be typed using Word for Windows (6 or superior), and must be in Times New Roman, 12pt. 1.5 spaces between lines should be used, justified, and without indentation in the first line. Only one 1.5 space should be used between parts of the text and/or examples, quotations, tables, illustrations, etc. Paper format should be A4, regular margins. Automatic spacing should be avoided in the text.

  3. All abstracts should have the capitalized word ABSTRACT before them, followed by a colon. Abstract text must be in Times New Roman, 10pt, and should have between 100 and 150 words. They should state the corpus, goals, methodology, and the results of the research.

  4. Keywords should have the capitalized word KEYWORDS before them, followed by a colon. Use between 3 and 5 keywords that specify the content of the paper in Times New Roman, 10pt, with capitalized first letters, separated by periods.

  5. Section titles should be in Time New Roman, 12pt, in bold, two lines below the last paragraph of the previous section. Only the first letter of each subtitle should be capitalized, except for proper nouns.

  6. Text references should be listed following the ABNT’s author-date parameters: (SILVA, 2005, p. 36). In the cases where the surname appears outside the parentheses, its first capitalized letter should be used.

  7. Quotations should follow ABNT guidelines. Quotations of up to three lines should be inserted in the text body between quotation marks and never italicized (which should be used only for foreign words). Longer quotations should be as follows: indented by 4 centimeters, single space, Times New Roman, 10pt.

  8. If phonetic transcriptions are necessary, or if the paper uses a non-Latin alphabet, the author should send the font used together with their manuscript, in order for that font to be installed which will allow editing of the paper.

  9. Footnotes, if truly necessary, should use a numeric sequence, and 10pt font. If there is a footnote in the title, use an asterisk (*). Do not use a footnote to quote a reference.

  10. Tables, charts, and authorized illustrations (drawings, pictures etc.) should be scanned and inserted in the text, hence ready for editing. Pictures’ titles should be in Times New Roman, 10pt, normal, and centered. Tables, charts, and illustrations should be identified by labels.

  11. Appendices should be also delivered ready for editing. For appendices that consist of published papers, the author should include a complete bibliographic reference.

  12. References, following current ABNT guidelines, should be listed after the word REFERENCES, in bold. The first reference should be written in the second line following that heading. The quoted authors should appear in alphabetic order, without numeration, without space between each entry, and without indentation. References from the same author should be ordered from most to least recent, repeating their name in all of them.

  13. All relevant information about the authors should be included in the Submission’s Metadata: a) names of authors, b) degrees, c) the institution to which they are affiliated and d) funding acknowledgement statement (if applicable).

  14. The translations should follow the same formatting standard as the other papers. Only translations submitted with the authorization for publication by the copyright holder of the original text or with proof that the original work is free of copyright or in the public domain will be evaluated.

  15. We emphasize that the papers published by Contexto are evaluated in the double-blind peer-review system, characterized by mutual anonymity between authors and reviewers. To guarantee the double-blind peer-review, we ask the authors to reference any publications by the manuscript’s author with: “(Author, year)” in the reference list and in the footnotes. The submitted paper should not contain the identification of the authors and the personal information must have been removed in accordance with the guidelines provided in: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/remove-hidden-data-and-personal-information-by-inspecting-documents-presentations-or-workbooks-356b7b5d-77af-44fe-a07f-9aa4d085966f
  16. Contexto does not charge processing or submission costs.
