Scientific/Technical Article
This refers to the report on an original research, with a well defined hypothesis, favoring innovative topics. The texts should cover the items highlighted in capital letters and in bold, without a paragraph and without numbering, leaving two spaces (twice ENTER) after the previous item and one space (a single ENTER) to begin the text in the following order: title, abstract, and keywords (in English) título, resumo and palavras-chave (in Portuguese), The peer analysis will be single-blind.
TITLE: Centered; it should be clear and concise, allowing immediate identification of the article content, trying to avoid words such as: analysis, study and evaluation. The manuscripts should present the title in English andPortuguese , enabling the presentation of a bilingual summary.
AUTHORS: The number of authors should be the minimum possible, considering only people who actually participated in the manuscript preparation and are able to answer for it fully or in essential parts. The authors must present complete affiliation, indicating the institution, city, state and country. When necessary, the Editorial Board may request justifications to explain the presence of the authors in the paper, as well as present the indication of the contribution made by each author. The authors will be identified in the paper sent for evaluation. The editors will remove the authors’ names before sending them to the reviewers, and the information will only be inserted into the articles after the paper is approved.
ABSTRACT: The text must begin on the second line after the item, it should be clear, concise and must explain the intended objective(s) seeking to justify their importance (without including references), the main procedures adopted, the most significant results and conclusions, with a maximum of 12 lines. Below it, on the second line after the item, should appear the KEYWORDS (at most six trying not to repeat the words in the title), written in small caps and bold.
INTRODUCTION: This presents the topic to be discussed, its objectives and purposes, informing what methods were used, precise delimitation of the research in relation to the field of knowledge, periods covered, and other elements needed to situate the topic of the work, using recent bibliography (last 5 years) and, preferably periodicals.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Depending on the nature of the work, a characterization of the experimental area must be inserted, clarifying the conditions under which the study was performed. When the methods are specifically known to be used, the reference alone will be enough, otherwise it is necessary to describe the procedures used and the adaptations made. Units of measure and symbols must follow the International System of Units.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Illustrations (figures, charts and photographs, etc.) must be presented with sufficient size and details for the final composition, preferably in the same position in the text, and may be colored. Illustrations can have parts that are colored, and the caption below. They must be numbered successively with Arabic numerals. Tables: avoid long tables with superfluous data, adapt their sizes to the workspace of the paper and, as far as possible, place only horizontal continuous lines; their captions should be concise and self-explanatory, and should also present the title in English. All internal elements of Figures and Tables must be in English. In the discussion compare the results with the data obtained in the bibliography.
CONCLUSIONS: They should be based only on the results of the study. Avoid repeating the results in a subsequent listing, seeking to compare what was obtained with the initial objectives established. The conclusions should be written making it easier to interpret the article without the need to consult other items of the same.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT(S): insert it (them) when necessary concisely, after the conclusions.
REFERENCES: The references should be placed in alphabetic order and normalized according to Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. All authors mentioned in the text and in tables, figures or illustrations should be referenced. Avoid citations of abstracts, unpublished papers and personal communications. It is suggested that at least 70% of the references be from the last 5 years and 70% from articles and periodicals.
AUTHORS CONTRIBUTION: The authors must present the individual contribution in the manuscript (in English, after the References).
APPENDICES AND SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: Appendices should be identified as A, B, etc at the end of the manuscript. It is also possible to add supplementary information on-line in different files.
CITATIONS: All citations in the text should be in the list of References. The citations in the text should appear in small letters and, when inserted between parentheses at the end of the paragraph, should be in capital letters. If there are other citations of the same author(s), in the same year (other publications), they will be identified by small letters (a, b, c), after the year of publication. When there are three or more authors only the first author will be cited in the text, followed by et al, without italics, but in the final bibliographic list, the other names should also appear. When making a citation the work consulted directly is identified: the author and/or the work cited in this is indicated as follows: SILVA(2010) apud Santos (2012). If there are any doubts, consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. It is advisable that before drafting the manuscript, the authors take an article published in the last issue of the journal as a formatting base.
Technical Note
It must present technological advances without presenting a hypothesis. When it is a case study, the conclusions should present propositions. It should be written in technical language, easy to understand, on an issue related to the fields of knowledge covered by the Journal, by author(s) showing experience on the subject matter, providing guidance for the different RBRH users. Only the presentation of articles that contribute to the subject is justified, not simply personal cases or cases with a limited interest. There is greater freedom of style than for scientific articles, and technical notes should mostly contain the following items: Title, Author(s), Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Description of the Subject, Conclusions and References. The articles must be written according to the same guidelines for Scientific Articles, with the following particularities;
The header of the first page should show the identification:: TECHNICAL NOTE, in capital letters, underlined, bold, centered and spaced 1.1 cm from the top margin.
The number of authors should be as small as possible, considering only the people who actually participated in the article, and who are able to answer for it in full or in essential parts. Authors must present full affiliation, indicating the institution, city, state and country and email address of all authors. It is necessary to explain the presence of the authors in the work, through the description of each author's contribution. The identification of authors and their contribution will be described in a specific document, attached during the manuscript submission phase.
INTRODUCTION: should contain a brief history, explaining the importance, the current status of the subject based on a review of literature, clearly presenting the purpose of the article.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT: with different titles that can be divided into sub-items, one should discuss the subject, pointing out the theoretical bases, presenting experiences and recommendations, discussing and critiquing situations, based as much as possible on bibliography and technical standards.
CONCLUSIONS: when appropriate, they should be written clearly and concisely, consistent with the goals set. It should not be a simple restatement simply presenting the other paragraphs of the article again.
OTHER TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS
RBRH accepts the submission of other types of manuscripts:
- Case studies: description of cases with significant technical contribution.
- Software: developed computer tools applicable in technical and scientific studies. The software must be made available on SciELO Data.
- Databases: description of databases of interest to other users. The files described must be made available at SciELO Data.
- Special Session: set of original articles on a specific topic.
