Manuscript preparation

Scientific article:

Scientific articles should report results of original research on the related areas, with the sections organized in the following way: Title in English; Title in Portuguese; Abstract in English with keywords (maximum six words, in alphabetic order); Abstract in Portuguese with keywords (maximum six words, in alphabetical order); Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results and Discussion, Conclusions; Acknowledgements; and References. The headings should be in boldface without numbering. If there is a need to include a sub-heading within a section, it should be placed in italics, and if there are further sub-topics to include under a sub-heading, these should be numbered with Arabic numerals. (Example: Results and Discussion, Physical-chemical parameters, 1. Acidity, 2. Profile of sugars, 3. Minerals, 4. Color)

The submitted work cannot have been published elsewhere with the same content, except in the form of an Abstract in Scientific Events, Introductory Notes, or Reduced Format.

The work should be presented in the following order:

1. Title of the work, clear and as short as possible.

2. Abstract and Keywords: An informative abstract with a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words must be included, in the same language used in the text of the article.

3. Introduction: The introduction must be concise and contain only the review that is strictly necessary to introduce the topic and support the methodology and discussion.
If possible, use recent bibliographies. Include old references (over 10 years old) only when they are very important for the manuscript being written.

4. Materials and Methods: This section may be presented in a continuous, descriptive way or with sub-headings to allow the reader to understand and be able to repeat the methodology cited with or without the support of reference citations.

5. Results and Discussion: This section must be presented in a clear way, with the aid of tables, graphs, and figures, so that it does not raise any questions for the reader with regard to the authenticity of the results and points of view discussed.

6. Conclusions: These must be clear and presented according to the objectives proposed in the work.

7. Acknowledgements: People, institutions, and companies that contributed to the work should be mentioned at the end of the text, before the References section.

Notes:

Figures: The figures that are deemed essential will be accepted and should be cited in the text by their numeric order, in Arabic numerals. If any submitted illustrations have already been published, the source and permission for publication should be stated.

Tables: Tables should be accompanied by a header that will allow understanding of the data collected without the need to use the body of the text for reference.

8. In-text author citations

The APA Rules use the author-date system for indirect citations, that is, author's last name, comma, and year of publication. The page numbe is only entered when there is a direct citation. In this case, the surname of the cited author, comma, year, comma followed by "p." And the page number

When in the citations, the authors are outside the parentheses, always use "e" (Portuguese); and "And" (English); to separate the penultimate from the last cited author. The "&" is always inserted between the penultimate and last author when cited in parentheses and in references.

Citation:

A work by two authors: Name both authors in the signal phrase or in parentheses each time you cite the work. Use the word "and" between the authors' names within the text and use the ampersand in parentheses.

Exemple: The results by Hiromoto and Vello (1986) confirmed that ....
(Hiromoto & Vello, 1986)

Two or more works by the same author in the same year: use lower-case letters (a, b, c) with the year to order the entries in the reference list. Use the lower-case letters with the year in the in-text citation.

Ex: (Porter, 1999a, 1999b, 1999c)

Authors with the same last name: To prevent confusion, use first initials with the last names.

(E. Johnson, 2001; L. Johnson, 1998)

Two or more works by the same author with different publication dates (Chronological order).

Ex: Segundo Porter (1986, 1991, 1999, 2000),
