Authors should avoid any mention of authorship in the body of text, as well as in the footnotes, in order to guarantee a blind peer-review assessment.
7. Submission: the author should register in the USP Scientific Journal Portal, filling out the form available.To start the submission process, the first step is clicking on “Make a new submission (paper submission).” The system displays a screen with five tabs that need to be filled out one by one to complete the process. When the submission is complete, confirmation is requested to send the manuscript to the journal.
8. Images: they should be inserted in the body of text or included in the supplementary documents (step 4 of the submission). Reference to figures should be placed directly in the body of text, in parentheses, for example: “as we can see on the handle of the teapot (Figure 1)”. Numbering should be sequential and without decimal indications. The files should be named according to their reference in the text. All figures shall be accompanied by their respective captions and identification of image origin. The captions should be arranged throughout the text at points close to the figure insertions and should provide a brief description of the element represented graphically, with complete credits, not exceeding three hundred characters.

            Examples:

            Figure 1, Figure 2, etc., and Figure 1a, Figure 1b, etc. for cases of grouping of    images.

9.7. Translated texts

BARTHES, Roland. O sistema da moda. Tradução de Lineide do Lago Salvador Mosca. São Paulo: Nacional: Edusp, 1979.

In the case of supplementary elements (book edition, translation), it is necessary that all references in the text follow the same pattern. Therefore, we recommend that only crucial data is included. Additional data is exceptionally allowed in articles comparing different translations or editions of a work, for example.

Anais do Museu Paulista does not use APA standards for quotes. Additional information on authorship should follow in notes.

10. Quotes: indirect quotes should come in notes, which should be gathered at the end of the manuscript, numbered sequentially with the same formatting as the main text.

The journal adopts the abbreviations provided by the ABNT, such as Id. (when the subsequent quotation originates from a work by the same author of the previous quotation), Ibid. (when the subsequent quotation  from the same work of the previous quotation), and Op. cit. (used to refer to a work by the same author already mentioned above, but in case of interspersed quotes).

Leaving excerpts out of quotes should be indicated by using square brackets with suspension points: […].

10.1 In indirect citations one should indicate the author’s surname, followed by the document’s year of publication. Example: Prado (2012). In direct quotations it is also indicated the page number. Example: Prado (2012, p. 15).

10.2 In case of title citation without author, use the first three words, followed by suspension points. Example: Carta aos fazendeiros… (1871).

10.3 if the year of publication of works by the same author coincides, the lowercase sequential letter is added. Example: Holanda (2009a, 2009b).

10.4 Only mention to works (without direct quotation) whose title or author is not mentioned before the reference to the note in the body of text is accompanied by “cf.”

10.5 Whenever there is an indication of work pagination, either in direct quotation or mention, “cf.” in the notes, is not used, only Author (year, p.).

10.6 The links quoted in the manuscript should be compressed through the URL shortcuts: https://bitly.com/ or  https://goo.gl/

 Example:

UNIÃO de facto regulamentada em Angola ao fim de mais de 25 anos. Diário de Notícias, Lisboa, 9 fev. 2015. Disponível em: http://bit.ly/2oh5PfB. Acesso em: 6 jun. 2016.

11. Article edition: the titles of works cited in the body of text, in notes, and in references are highlighted in italics, as well as words in a foreign language. Transcripts of excerpts from documents or bibliographical works (if not exceeding three lines) will be quoted within the paragraph and not highlighted at the source.

11.1 The reference to notes in the text’s title and in the author’s name should use numbers.

The standardization of titles and subtitles should comply with the following pattern:

11.1.1 The manuscript’s title should be in the upper/lower case letters format just as in a sentence: uppercase in the first letter of the first word and in the others only if there is grammatical obligatoriness (such as in proper names). Example: Antes do Parque Ibirapuera: a história do vazio (1890 – 1954).

11.1.2 Subtitles should be formatted in upper case letters. Example: CONFLITO PÚBLICO-PRIVADO: HIPÓDROMO VERSUS VIVEIRO (1929-1933).

11.1.3. Subdivision of subtitles should be in the upper/lower case letters format just as in a sentence: uppercase in the first letter of the first word and in the others only if there is grammatical obligatoriness (such as in proper names). Example: Composição química da atmosfera.

Manuscript submission and assessment procedures

As long as they meet the formal specifications related in the previous items, the papers undergo an initial screening, made by the Editorial Board.

After approval in the first screening, the texts enter the merit assessment process by asking two ad hoc reviewers (experts in the area or themes concerned, at least holding a Ph.D. degree) appointed by the Editorial Board, ensuring the double blind assessment system.

Subsequently, expert opinions and texts are reviewed together by the Editorial Board. In case of conflicting opinions, a third ad hoc reviewer may be appointed. This evaluation results in the approval or disapproval of texts, as well as the request for the author to make the reformulations that partially or fully meet the reviewers’ concerns and suggestions. If reformulation is required, the author has thirty days to submit a new version of the text, which is reassessed by the Editorial Board or by the reviewers who suggested changes.

The same procedure is applied to thematic dossiers, whose proposal should be submitted to the Editorial Board before the manuscripts are submitted, by means of a justification notice, titles, and abstracts of the articles planned.

Anais do Museu Paulista has the right to arrange the manuscript pages according to its graphic standard.

The journal offers free and immediate access to its content, following the principle that making scientific information freely available to the audience enables a greater global democratization of knowledge. Authors do not pay any fee for the submission or assessment of their manuscripts.
