PUBLISHED SECTIONS:

Editorial

The text of the Editorial Committee responsibility to RBE, which may invite authorities to write it.

Original articles

Original and unpublished research of empirical, experimental, conceptual nature, with methodology (qualitative or quantitative), discussion and interface with national and international scientific literature. Limited to 15 pages (including abstracts, tables, illustrations, and references).

Review articles

Analysis of quantitative or qualitative studies aiming to search for evidence. Critical, comprehensive and systematized evaluative studies, resulting from original research, carried out exclusively in secondary sources. They should have a relevant, innovative character and a thorough description of the review method, describing the search process and the inclusion criteria for the selection of the studies analyzed. They should have a guiding question and answer it with relevance to the nursing, health, education and related areas. The methods accepted are meta-analysis, a systematic review and integrative review. Limited to 17 pages (including abstracts, tables, figures, and references).

Integrative Review: “It is a method to synthesize results obtained in research on a theme or question, in a systematic, orderly and comprehensive way. It is called integrative because it provides broader information on a subject/problem, constituting a body of knowledge. Thus, the reviewer/researcher can elaborate an integrative review with different purposes, able to be directed to the definition of concepts, review of theories or methodological analysis of included studies of a particular topic.”**

Systematic Review: “It is a method used to answer a specific question about a specific health problem. It is a rigorous synthesis of all research related to a specific question about the cause, diagnosis, and prognosis of a health problem, often involving the effectiveness of an intervention for the solution of this problem.”³ “Generally, the studies included in these reviews have the design of experimental research and are considered original works because they have methodological rigor.”**

PREPARING THE MANUSCRIPT

The RBE uses the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the EQUATOR Network to improve the presentation of research results as references not only to increase the potential for publication but also to promote the international dissemination of articles. Thus, the following international guidelines should be used:

Regardless of the category, the manuscripts for submission to the RBE should be prepared as follows:

• Microsoft^® Office Word article (*doc ou *docx).
• A4 paper (210x297 mm) and 2 cm margins on all sides.
• Times New Roman font, size 12 (throughout the text, including tables), 1.5 spacing across lines throughout the text (except for abstracts, illustrations, and references, which should have single spacing), paragraphs with 1.25 cm indentation.
• Pages should be numbered at the bottom right until the References consecutively.
• Bold should be restricted to the title and the primary sections of the article (Introduction, Material, and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion) and References of the manuscript.
• Italic should be applied only to highlight terms or expressions written in languages other than Portuguese when this is the source language.
• The titles of the text sections - Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion - should be uppercase in the first letter, bold, with no numbering and no indentation on the left.
• If necessary, the inclusion of subtitles in some textual sections is allowed, maintaining the same format as the section heading. Excessive subsections, large italicized words, and Microsoft® Office Word markers are not allowed.
• In the case of abbreviations and acronyms, the description in words followed by the abbreviation in parentheses should be in the first mention. The abbreviations should only be used in the body of the text. It will not be accepted in the footnotes.
• Alignment of the text, including the references, must be justified, so the text is distributed evenly between the margins.
• The speeches of research participants, with interview cuts, should not be in quotes. The following structure should be observed: indentation of the entire paragraph (1.25 cm), font size 11, in italics, single spacing. The speeches should be identified with coding at the discretion of the author(s), with their identification presented at the end of each one, between parentheses and without italics and separated from each other by a single space. Deletions should be indicated using ellipses between brackets. Interpolations must be enclosed in brackets (NBR 10520), in normal font, not using italics.

Examples:

Because I know that by the time I do the transplantation, I will stay for one to two years taking medicine without being able to take anything [alcohol], without being able to do half what I do now. I prefer to stay in the machine, come here for four hours, three times a week, get out of the machine, get home and have a beer [laughs]. (P2).

I started to do the exams, but then some devices were not working, I had to get a dentist [...] The treatment is expensive. Then, I became very discouraged. Then, I stopped [...] (P3).

• The numerical citations of the authors (Vancouver) should be presented in the text, consecutively according to the order in which they are cited. References should be numbered according to the sequence in which the author´s works were cited. The inclusion of many references in the same citation should be avoided.
• The numbering of citations must be consecutive, according to the numerical system, with Arabic numerals, superscripts and in parentheses, without mention of the authors´ names (except those constituting a theoretical reference). When they are sequential, the first and last number separated by hyphen should be indicated, with no space between the word and the number of the quotation and preceding the full stop, for example (1-4). When they are interleaved, the numbers should be separated by commas, with no space between them, for example (1-2,4). In the citations, the name of the authors should not be mentioned, excluding expressions such as “according to...”, among others.
• In ipsis litteris authors´ quotes (direct quote), with up to three lines, initial and final quotes, without italics should be used and inserted them in the normal sequence of the text. In these cases, the page number should be informed after the citation number and separated by a colon, for example (1:35). It is recommended the careful use of this resource, according to the norm of ABNT NBR 10520/2002 (Information and Documentation - Citations in documents - Presentation).
• Direct quotes with more than three lines should not be used.
• When the quotation is inserted at the end of the paragraph or sentence, the number corresponding to it must be placed before the full stop; when inserted next to a comma, the number must appear before it. There should be no space between the reference number and the word or punctuation that precedes it.
• Citations in the Conclusion section should not be entered.
• The minimum number of acronyms must be used and only after they have been quoted in full in the text; Acronyms in article and section titles, abstract, illustrations and tables should not be used.

 STRUCTURE

The structure of the manuscript should have the following order:

 Title

 It should reflect the object of the study, being concise and understandable. It should have a maximum of 15 words, in the source language, in bold and in the uppercase. Abbreviations and acronyms should not be used.

Abstract

Written in a single paragraph, in the language of origin of the manuscript with simple spacing between lines, containing up to 150 words in the language of the manuscript. Structured in Objective(s), Method, Results, and Conclusion, without highlighting these expressions with bold. The conclusion to answer the study objective(s) should be described. It must not contain acronyms or abbreviations not standardized internationally.

The information presented should ensure the clarity of the text and the reliability of the data; never with divergent data.

For articles in Portuguese, abstracts in English and Spanish (Resumen) will be required only for articles accepted for publication in the translation of the text in its entirety. For articles in other languages once accepted for publication, the abstract and the full text in Portuguese will be required.

Descriptors

Three to six descriptors identifying the study topic should be used, located shortly after the abstracts. The terminology descritores for Portuguese texts, descriptors in English and descriptores in Spanish should be used. They should be extracted from the vocabulary Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) prepared by the Latin American and Caribbean Center for Health Sciences Information (BIREME) or Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) prepared by the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

These descriptors should be separated from each other by a dot and the first letters of each word of the descriptor in uppercase, except articles and prepositions.

Introduction

It should situate the research topic as an object of scientific and social relevance. The problem of study, object of study, justification, explanation of the concepts should be used, justifying the importance and the knowledge gaps, based on updated national and international references.

The text must contain a nexus, a logical sequence and a complete description of acronyms and abbreviations to precede the first occurrence in the text (unless it is a standard unit of measure). The Objective(s) should be inserted at the end of the Introduction and correspond to the abstract(s).

Objective(s)

In the case of a clinical essay, the study identification number should be presented in one of the World Health Organization (WHO), and ICMJE validated Clinical Essay Registry systems and be by the recommendations of BIREME, Pan American Organization (PAHO) and WHO on the Register of Clinical Essays to be published.

Results

The results without discussing them and without citing authors should be described. The results should be consistent with the objective(s) of the study, presenting nexus and logical sequence. If illustrations are used, they should be inserted in the body of the text (maximum of five). Thus, a summary description of the main results should be given without repeating the entire contents of the illustrations and tables.

Discussion

The discussion should be separated from the results, assuming exception for qualitative studies, consistent with the results, having relevant and consistent argumentation, based on the concepts/theory/references adopted. The text must contain a nexus and a logical sequence. It should highlight the results and their relationship with the national and international literature, highlighting the new and/or fundamental aspects, the limitations of the study and the indication of new research.

Information entered in the Introduction or Results sections should not be repeated in detail. In the experimental studies, the discussion should start with a summary of the main findings and then explore the possible relationships/explanations for these results, comparing them and contrasting them with other relevant national and international studies.

At the end of the Discussion, the limitations and contributions of the study should be shown.
