Full papers
Authors have until September 8 to submit full papers
The full text of the papers presented during the VIII Media Ethics can be sent to the Scientific Committee until September 8, 2024. The articles will undergo a new peer review for subsequent publication.
There is no obligation to submit texts. The material will form part of a digital book and texts can be submitted in Portuguese, Spanish and English in accordance with the following rules:
Author Guidelines
Length
- Full articles and interviews should be 5,000 to 8,000 words, including title, footnotes and references.
- Both the title and the subheadings should not exceed 120 characters with spaces.
- The abstract should be 200 to 300 words and keywords should be limited to five.
- The biographical note should not exceed 150 words.
Formatting
Manuscripts should be edited single-spaced on standard pages (A4), font Times New Roman, 12 pt.
Graphs and tables must be editable.
Information structure
The first page of the document must contain the following information in Portuguese or Spanish and in English: title of the work, abstract and keywords.
To ensure blind peer review, any information that may identify the author should be removed from the manuscript. So, a separate document (with the article's title) should contain the following information:
1) author(s) name(s);
2) biographical note of up to 150 words, complete institutional addresses (including street, postal code, city, and country), email address, and ORCID. This data will be available in the published version, and by providing it, you consent to its disclosure;
3) complete information on the affiliation of all authors, including the name of the home institution at three levels (ex: Postgraduate Programme/Department/Centre, Faculty/School and University), city and country;
4) acknowledgements (optional) should include only references to funding and, eventually, to institutions that may have facilitated access to data;
5) individual contribution of each author according to the principles established in the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRedit) methodology. That does not apply to works with only one author or introductory notes.
Interviews must be accompanied by a declaration of consent from the interviewee, who must validate the transcription.
Texts in Portuguese must be consistent with the new Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement of 1990. Furthermore, considering the differences in spelling among Portuguese-speaking countries, it is recommended that the wording specificities of Portuguese spelling in all its variants (Brazil, Angola, Mozambique...) be respected, despite the new orthography.
Style guidelines
The publication follows the APA style (7th edition).
