Author Guidelines

Only unpublished manuscripts in Portuguese, English, French or Spanish will be considered for publication.

The original manuscript must be submitted only via the Electronic Editing System for Journals (SEER) under the Online Submissions option. Information about authorship should be included only on the Short Bio field, under the Profile section, upon registration, and include: name, title, institution and other information considered relevant by the author. Authorship information should be written both in the manuscripts’ original language and in English. The manuscript sent to Contemporanea can not make any reference regarding authorship or institution link, in order to guarantee the text’s double-blind review process. In case there is the need for information in the text that allows for the identification of the author, this information should be removed, but it can be added to the final version, in case the manuscript is accepted for publication.

Manuscripts published by Contemporanea will be made available at other databases and online indexers. From the moment of the submission of an original manuscript, the proponent is aware of this practice, and can not argue on the contrary.
