Author Guidelines
- The magazine Medi@ções publishes original, theoretical or empirical articles in English, Spanish, French or English. The review is limited i.e., the reviewers will not know the identity of the authors of the articles submitted and the authors are aware of reviewers' opinions but not their identities.
- Proposals for papers should contain a maximum of 30,000 characters, including spaces and be presented in 1.5 space, with 3 cm. margins. They should include an abstract in the language of the article and in English with a maximum of 200 words and a list of keywords ( a maximum of six). Pages should be numbered consecutively.
- Figures should be submitted (possibly on separate sheets) to a quality that allows reproduction, and should also be numbered and captioned, as should any tables. References must be formatted according to APA style. Authors can download this template.
- Proposals for papers should be written so that anonymity is guaranteed in the review process, avoiding mention of local institutions or identifying the authorship of the text. If the author wishes to refer to personal work, you can do so indicating them in the text and in the reference list as follows: (XXXXX, 2013).
- Full information will be included in the article after the review process is completed. Proposals submitted for publication must be placed on the website of the magazine in a Word attachment without identifying the authorship and including the summary in both languages mentioned above and keywords.
- Full identification of the article - title, name and affiliation of the authors and their email addresses must also be submitted on the website of the magazine but in a separate file.
- At the end of each article, a brief biographical note of the authors will be added, including institution, academic or professional activity, publications and project experiences.
