FORM AND PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
| Format and Structure When submitting a manuscript, author order should be defined and agreed upon by all authors, because if the article is approved for publication, the authors’ names will be presented in the exact order established when the article was submitted. Notes 2 Authors must take the following precautions when they submit their manuscript: Note 3 The maximum number of authors is limited to five. In the event of more than five authors, a justification must be given to be analyzed by the Editor. Authorship implies assuming responsibility publicly for the content of the manuscript submitted for publication and must be based on the effective contribution of the authors in: a) conception and design of the study or participation of the discussion of the study’s results; b) drafting the manuscript or critical revision of its contents; c) approving the manuscript’s final version. All three conditions should be met and described to each of the authors. Note 4 The manuscript’s initial page (Main Document) must contain the following information (in Portuguese, Spanish and English): title, abstract and keywords. The title and keywords are not included in the abstract’s total number of words. Regarding this information, please note the exceptions mentioned in item 1. 4.1 Title: must be concise and informative (up to twenty words). Notes 4.2 Abstract: must highlight the work’s fundamental aspects. It can include the main objective, the theoretical focus, the methodological procedures, the most relevant results and the main conclusions (up to 140 words). Authors should avoid structuring the Abstract in topics (Objectives, Methodology, Results, Conclusions). Notes 5 Footnotes are identified by small superscript letters in parentheses. 6 Manuscripts referring to research with human beings must include information on the approval by an Ethics Committee in the area, according to Resolution no. 466/2013 of Brazil’s National Health Council or Resolution no. 510/2016 related to ethical specificities of researches in Human and Social Sciences. Only the process number must be included in the body text, at the end of the methodology section. This number must be kept in the manuscript’s final version if it is approved for publication. 7 Manuscripts with illustrations must include their respective credits or captions. In case of images of people, the authorization for the use of these images by the journal should also be included. 8 Images, figures or drawings must be in tiff or jpeg format, with minimum resolution of 300 dpi, maximum size of 16 x 20 cm, caption, and 9-point Arial font.

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
| The journal Interface Comunicação, Saúde, Educação is aligned with the Open Science guidelines and is in the process of gradually adopting the Open Science principles and practices. This means the following: 1 Voluntary adherence of authors to the publication of articles in the preprint format. 2 We recommended that authors deposit the primary research data that gave rise to the article in certified repositories. 3 Voluntary adherence of authors to the publication of reviews. When submitting a manuscript, it is important to be aware of what a preprint is and how to proceed to adhere to this first stage of Open Science. Preprints make articles and other communications available before, or in parallel with, the journal’s review process. Preprints therefore speed up the dissemination of research results, guarantee intellectual authorship and allow the author to receive comments that contribute to improving their work before submitting it to a journal. While the article remains in the preprints repository (if the author does not want to submit it to a journal), journals continue to play a fundamental role in reviewing, preserving and disseminating research. In light of the above: 1 You can now submit your article to the SciELO preprints server (https://preprints.scielo.org) or to another credible server. If you do so, the article will be reviewed by a panel of experts from the servers to assess whether the manuscript meets the basic criteria for text structure and document type. If approved, it will receive a DOI, guaranteeing immediate international dissemination. 2 At the same time, if you wish, you may submit the article to Interface Comunicação, Saúde, Educação. The two processes are compatible. 3 You can opt to submit the article only to Interface Comunicação, Saúde, Educação. Submission to the preprint repository is not mandatory. 4 The submission process is performed only on-line, in the system ScholarOne Manuscripts. To submit manuscripts, is required to be registered in the system, accessing the link http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/icse-scielo and following the instructions on screen. Once registered and logged in, just click on Author to begin the submission process. Note 2 Interface - Comunicação, Saúde, Educação accepts collaborations in Portuguese, Spanish and English for all sections. Just original and unpublished works submitted only to this journal shall be evaluated. The authors must state they complied with these conditions in a specific field of the submission form. In case a simultaneous publication or submission to another journal is identified, the manuscript shall be disregarded. Submission must be accompanied by an authorization for publication signed by all the authors of the manuscript. The model of the document is available for upload in the system. 3 Authors’ data are informed in a specific field of the submission form and include: Notes . If there is no institutional affiliation, please inform professional education. . Whenever the author uses compound names in references and citations, these data must also be informed. 4 If the text contains illustrations, they must be included as additional documents to the Main Document, in a specific field of the submission form. Note 5 The title (up to twenty words), the abstract (up to 140 words), the keywords (from three to five), in the manuscript’s original language, and the illustrations must be included in a specific field of the submission form. 6 To submit the manuscript, in Cover Letter, the author must write a letter explaining whether the text is original, whether it is the result of a Master's thesis or Doctoral dissertation, whether there are conflicts of interest (any commitment by the authors with the financing sources or any type of affiliation or rivalry that may be understood as conflict of interest must be explained) and, in case of research with human beings, whether it was approved by an Ethics Committee in the area, informing the process number and the institution. If the manuscript does not involve research with human beings, it is also necessary to state that in the Cover Letter, justifying the Ethics Committee’s non-approval. Similarly, if the authors include undergraduate students, it is necessary to inform that in this field of the form. 7 If a Critical review is submitted, authors must include all information about the reviewed work in the Cover Letter following the reference standard used in Interface (Vancouver), namely: 8 In the item Contribution to Current Literature, the author must answer the following question: Note 9 The author can indicate one referee (from Brazil or abroad) to evaluate his/her work, provided that they do not belong to the same institution as the manuscript’s author(s). If it is necessary, he/she should also inform about researchers with whom there may be conflicts of interest arising from the article. 10 All authors of manuscripts submitted to Interface – Comunicação, Saúde, Educação must fill in the Open Science Compliance Form, made available in the ScholarOne Manuscripts system at the moment of submission. It is important to note that authors who have deposited their research data in a repository must mention the URL and respective link on the form. |
EVALUATION OF MANUSCRIPTS AND PUBLICATION OF APPROVED MANUSCRIPTS
| Interface adopts the strict editorial policy of scientific merit evaluation by peers conducted in two stages: pre-evaluation and peer review. It is important to highlight that the peer review policy adopts the same criteria for manuscripts submitted to preprint servers or other platforms. Pre-evaluation: every manuscript submitted to Interface undergoes an initial screening to check if it follows the journal’s areas and if it complies with the editorial standards, and to identify missing documents in the submission process, including identifying plagiarism and self-plagiarism. Article submission will only be confirmed if all the journal’s guidelines are met and when all requested documents have been filled out and uploaded to the system.Initial screening is completed by the editors and associate editors and only texts that meet the journal’s requirements go on to the peer review stage:
Peer review: the text whose submission is confirmed follows for double-blind peer review and is evaluated by, at least, two referees considering the following criteria: theme originality and relevance, scientific rigor, and theoretical and methodological consistency. Referees are selected among the Editorial Board’s members or ad hoc consultants, researchers in the scope of work area, from different regions, and education and/or research institutions. The material is returned to the author if the referees suggest small changes and/or corrections. In this case, there will be a second round of evaluation of the revised manuscript. Notes Approved article edition: after the article’s approval, the authors receive a correspondence with specific guidelines on sending the final version of the text in order to begin the editing process for article’s publication. These guidelines include: The approved article’s editing process includes standardization, desktop publishing and review by Interface’s technical team and approval of the final version by the authors. All approved articles are continuously published in the SciELO collection with a DOI number. Therefore, they are available in this database for consultation and can be cited even before their publication in the corresponding issue. The authors are responsible for their texts. The texts do not necessarily coincide with the point of view of the journal’s Editorial Board. Note Interface started to adopt the continuous publication of its articles, published in a single volume a year, without interruption, in accordance with SciELO's guidance. In the journal's electronic Summary, in SciELO and on its website, only the section to which the article was submitted will be indicated. |
