ATTENTION: Author(s) will have 5 business days to correct their submission (review registration and metadata) during the DeskReview process. After this period, the submission will be archived

Interval: Each author or co-author may only have one article under internal review between the submission process and the final publication date. Similarly, each author or co-author may only publish one article in the journal respecting a minimum interval of two years between publications. In this case, we will respect the two-year interval between the publication of a submitted article and the start of a new submission process initiated by the author, whether they are listed as the main author or co-author. Exceptions may apply to special issues with specific calls for papers.
Complete filling out of metadata and registration in the journal
Authors and co-authors are asked to pay close attention when completing their registration, as well as when entering all data at the time of text submission (including translations).
Translations and adaptations generate the publication's metadata, lending credibility to the text and improving the likelihood of it being listed on search engines and indexers (Google and others).
Regarding metadata, we resort to Carla Oliveira’s (UFMG) explanation:
Advantages of consistent metadata in scientific articles include guaranteeing the principle of scientific credibility, efficiency in the information retrieval process, and the preservation of standardized and reliable data. The article by GulKa and Silveira (2020) is the suggestion provided by the UFMG Periodicals Portal for those interested in more information about this process.
