Preparing the Manuscript

The manuscript should follow the following template provided by the editorial staff of Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas). Adapting to the template makes it easier for the Journal team to identify information and speeds up the process of normalizing and standardizing articles, which also has an impact on the final publication deadline after approval.

 

Article Submission Format

When the manuscript is submitted using the template provided by the Journal, it follows the docx format of Microsoft's Word text tool. Other forms of submission such as PDF or other text editing tools will not be accepted.

 

Digital Assets

Tables and Figures:

Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) accepts manuscripts with up to 7 (seven) illustrations in any format (e.g. tables, charts, images, graphs). The formats and extensions, sizes and resolutions are given in the Model.

However, with readers' accessibility in mind, we recommend using Tables and Charts, which are easier to read using assistive technologies, such as screen-reading software. Images and column graphs, among others, require more elaborate audio descriptions, which are not yet available in the Journal.

 

Citations and References

The journal Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) adopts the publication standards of the American Psychological Association - APA (7th edition, 2020), with some adaptations of its own style.

 

Citations

Article with two authors: cite both authors whenever the article is referred to.

Article with three or more authors: cite the surname of the first author followed by et al. and the year from the first appearance in the text. E.g.: Carneiro et al. (2011) or (Carneiro et al., 2011).

Quotations in a foreign language translated by the authors should be footnoted with the quotation in the original language. The source should read: Our translation. E.g.: (Pfeiffer, 2015, p. 24).

Literal quotations of up to 40 words should appear in the body of the text in quotation marks, indicating the author's surname, the date and the page. E.g.: It is possible to understand that “the material for artistic content and style is seized from reality and worked from there” (Barroco & Superti, 2014, p. 23).

Quotations of more than 40 words should be in a new paragraph, single-spaced, in font size 11 and indented 4cm from the left margin. Highlights in quotations should be justified as the author's emphasis (when the highlight is from the original) and our emphasis (when the highlight is yours).

 

References: Sort the items in the list of references alphabetically by author. Apply an offset indent of 1.27 cm to each item, which means that the first line of the reference is left-aligned and subsequent lines are indented 1.27 cm from the left margin. Use your word processor's paragraph formatting function to apply the offset indentation
