Author Guidelines

Guidelines for submission of manuscripts

Geousp - Espaço e Tempo is an academic journal in the area of geography, with the following publication standards:

 

1 All works must be unpublished and cannot be submitted to another journal awaiting evaluation.

1.1 Submissions in Portuguese or Spanish are accepted.

1.2 Manuscripts must have three abstracts: mandatory in Portuguese and English and the third in Spanish or French. If the manuscript is in Spanish, the abstracts will be, in that order, in Spanish, Portuguese and English.

1.3 All costs of the editorial process such as reception, evaluation, normalization, layout and XML markup are paid by the Graduate Program in Human Geography (PPGH) of the Faculty of Philosophy, Literature and Human Sciences and by funds granted by the USP Journals Portal of the University of São Paulo.

 

2 The submitted article can have one or two authors.

2.1 An author can only return to submitting manuscripts to Geousp after at least one year of their last publication.

2.2 When there are two authors, the contribution of each one in the elaboration of the article must be indicated.

 

3 For blind peer review, the manuscript cannot contain the authors' names.

3.1 When referring to the author himself, his last name must be replaced by the word "Author".

3.2 Figures, tables, maps, tables and other illustrations cannot bear the name of the author (s), but only (Author, year).

 

4 It is up to the editors to judge whether the manuscript is unpublished and aligned with the scope of the journal:

4.1 Article - unpublished text that is the result of research, and not a monograph of graduation conclusion, project of any nature or field research note. Maximum of 8,000 words in up to 25 pages, including abstracts and bibliographic references; each abstract can have up to 150 words and 3 to 5 keywords.

4.2 Field research notes - systematization of data or unpublished information collected in the field. Maximum of 8,000 words in up to 25 pages, including abstracts and bibliographic references; each abstract can have up to 150 words and 3 to 5 keywords. The submission must have been previously discussed with the editor to justify its pertinence, through the electronic address revistageousp@gmail.com or ricardomendes@usp.br.

4.3 Reviews - necessarily classic or reference text on geography (maximum 1,200 words). The submission must have been previously discussed with the editor to justify its pertinence, through the electronic address revistageousp@gmail.com or ricardomendes@usp.br.

4.4 Cartographies, images and other graphic expressions - maps, graphics and other figures describing the methodology or method of creation (software, techniques etc.) (maximum 1,200 words). The submission must have been previously discussed with the editor to justify its pertinence, through the electronic address revistageousp@gmail.com or ricardomendes@usp.br.

4.5 Thematic dossier - it can be a proposal by research groups or by opening a public call with a theme defined by the magazine's editorial board. Dossier submission is conducted in the same way as the others. Manuscripts are only considered and accepted on their academic merit, regardless of any personal influence. The submission must have been previously discussed with the editor to justify its pertinence, through the electronic address revistageousp@gmail.com or ricardomendes@usp.br.

Observations on dossier submission:
The submission must be discussed with the editor to justify its relevance to the scope of the journal and its originality (especially taking into account the recently published dossiers).
The Dossier will have a maximum of five articles, in addition to the introduction, which must be made by the organizer. An important criterion for accepting the proposal is the institutional diversity of the authors, who must have research in the thematic area.
The evaluation of the articles in the Dossier is conducted in the same way as the others: evaluation by blind peers.
The Dossier's proponent will be the organizer and will work together with the magazine's editor, electing referees by mutual agreement.
