Text
The text of all work submitted for publication must have a clear and concise organization.
Except for manuscripts presented as Review, Communication, Research Note, and Essay, the works must follow the formal structure for scientific texts:
Introduction: must contain a review of the updated literature relevant to the topic, adequate to the presentation of the investigation, and that highlights its relevance. It should not be extensive, except for manuscripts submitted as a Review Article.
Methods: this section must contain a clear and succinct description of the method used, accompanied by the corresponding bibliographic citation, including adopted procedures; universe and sample; measurement instruments and, if applicable, validation method and statistical treatment.
Regarding the statistical analysis, the authors must demonstrate that the procedures used were not only appropriate to test the hypotheses of the study, but also correctly interpreted. Statistical significance levels (e.g., p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001) must be mentioned.
It must be informed that the research was approved by an accredited Ethics Committee, together with the National Health Council, and provided with the process number.
When reporting experiments on animals, it should be indicated whether institutional or national research council guidelines — or if any national laws relating to the care and use of laboratory animals — have been followed.
Results: whenever possible, the results presented in tables, charts, or figures must, in addition to following the standards of the journal, be prepared in a self-explanatory manner and with statistical analysis.
Discussion: the results discussed in the light of other observations already registered in the literature must be explored, adequately and objectively.
Conclusion: the relevant conclusions must be presented, considering the objectives of the work, and the ways of continuing the study should be indicated. Bibliographic citations will not be accepted in this section.
Acknowledgments: Acknowledgments may be recorded in a paragraph not exceeding three lines, addressed to 1) individuals who have effectively contributed to the work, although they do not meet the authorship requirements, [explain the reason, for example: a critical review of the manuscript, collection of data, etc.]. It is mandatory to send the express permission of these persons. 2) Acknowledgments to institutions that supported the research may be included.
Abbreviations and acronyms: should be used in a standardized way, being restricted only to those conventionally used or sanctioned by usage, accompanied by the meaning, in full, when cited for the first time in the text. They should not be used in the title and abstract.
Citations and References in Vancouver style
Citations and references should be numbered consecutively, following the order in which they were first mentioned in the text, in Vancouver style. In references with up to six authors, all must be cited. In references with more than six authors, the first six should be cited and then include the expression et al.
The editors estimate contemporary references that dialogue with the current scientific community, so it suggests that the relevance of the references is at least 80% of the last five years and coming from indexed journals and 20% of the last two years. Citations to books should be avoided.
Citations/references from undergraduate theses, works from Congresses, Symposia, Workshops, Meetings, among others, and unpublished texts (classes, lectures, etc.) will not be accepted.
If a work under publication, authored by one of the authors of the manuscript and/or from other sources, is cited (i.e., an article in press), it is mandatory to send a copy of the letter of acceptance (article already approved with expected publication date) of the journal that will publish the article. Otherwise, the citation/reference will be deleted.
If unpublished data obtained by other researchers are cited in the manuscript, it will be necessary to include an authorization letter from the authors approving the use of such data.
When the cited document has a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number, this number must be informed, dispensing with the date of access to the content (see examples of electronic material). The prefix must be used: https://doi.org/...
Citations in the text must be numbered progressively in the order in which they appear in the text, in Arabic numerals, within square brackets after the citation (example: [1], [2], [3]), and must appear in the References list.
The accuracy and adequacy of references to works that have been consulted and mentioned in the text of the article are the responsibility of the author. All works cited in the text should be listed in the References section.
Examples of references
The abbreviations of the titles of the cited journals must be in accordance with the Index Medicus.
