Here, we will respect the two-year interval between the publication of a submitted article and the beginning of a new submission process performed by the author, whether he is indicated as the main author or as co-author.

Complete completion of metadata and registration in the journal

We ask the authors and co-authors to be careful when filling out their registration form, as well as inserting all data when submitting the text.

Translations and adaptations generate the publication's metadata, making the text more reliable and improving the likelihood of registration in search engines (Google and others).

About metadata, we used the explanation of Carla Oliveira (UFMG):

Advantages of metadata consistency in scientific articles are: guaranteeing the principle of scientific credibility, efficiency in the information retrieval process, preservation of standardized and reliable data. The article by GulKa and Silveira (2020) is recommended by the Portal de Periódicos UFMG for editors interested in more information about this process.
