RULES FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Scientific articles must have a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 40 pages (A4 size), typed in Microsoft Word format, spaced 1,5 (between lines), font Candara size 12.

For the other modalities of text, the rules are the same, except for the maximum extension, which is defined as follows: 20 pages for interviews, 25 pages for translations of classical texts and 06 pages for reviews. In this total of pages, tables, figures and references should be computed (remembering that all bibliography cited should be in references, and vice versa).

All texts must be attached on the electronic platform of AMBIENTES: Revista de Geografia e Ecologia Política (the access link will be created), and the files should not exceed the maximum size of 25 MB.

All authors must be registered, separately, in the electronic submission form (as well as their area of formation, qualification and institution of professional action). The absence of such information will entail direct exclusion from submission. In no case will authors be added or withdrawn after submission has been accepted.

In no case should the author (s) be identified (either at the beginning of the text, or along the same or in the organization of Illustrations or Tables). It is suggested to use the term "author" to replace the appropriate names. All such data should be inserted into the manuscript after its evaluation, when editors request corrections of the article for publication.

The articles should be edited according to the TEMPLATE available on the journal page.

Scientific articles must have a summary of at least 200 words and a maximum of 400 words, in Portuguese, English and another foreign language (French, Spanish, Italian or German). The title and the keywords (maximum of 5) should also be translated into English and into the other foreign language in which the abstract is presented.

In addition to articles and texts in the Portuguese language, texts will be accepted, sent by non-Lusophone authors, written in English or Spanish. However, their insertion in a number of environments should not compromise the principle of clear predominance of the Portuguese language (at least 70%), as a means of communication of the journal.

Texts that are not sent in Portuguese should contain the title, an expanded abstract (between 300 and 500 words) and the key words in Portuguese.

References to authors, in the texts to be published in the journal, should be made in the body of the text, indicating the surname in the upper or lower case, according to the cases, followed by the year of publication of the work. Example: (SILVA, 2007), Silva (2007). If there are more than one work with the same surname, published in the same year, the letters of the alphabet should be added in lower case, after the year of publication, by order of citation in the references presented at the end of the text. Examples: (SILVA, 2007a), (SILVA, 2007b), (SILVA, 2007c).

The literal quotations of excerpts from other authors' texts, if they contain up to three lines, must remain in the body of the text in quotation marks and, if they have more than three lines, should be highlighted with a 4 cm indentation in Candara 11 font, without quotes.

Expressions or excerpts from your text, to which the author wishes to highlight, should be in italics, which should also be applied to expressions maintained in a foreign language. Example: tout court, e-mail, a priori. Authors should not use bold, which is reserved for headings and subheadings of the text.

The figures should be sent in digital format (JPEG, TIF) with a resolution of 300 dpi and cannot exceed the size of 23 x 16 cm. They can be black and white or colored, and should be attached next to the article file, which cannot exceed the maximum size of 10 MB. Figures must be submitted without frame, with graphic scale and legible legends. Photos and images should be at least 1.3 and at most 2 megapixels.

We recommend that authors use only the illustrations tables necessary and essential to understanding the content of the text. Situations of excessive illustrations, poor quality of the graphic information and no observation of the resolution of 300 dpi will imply in the refusal of the text.

The illustrations (drawing, diagram, flow chart, photograph, graphic, map, organogram, plant, picture, portrait, figure, image, among others) and tables must be preceded by their designative word. Its identification must be made at the top, followed by its serial number in the text, in Arabic numerals, indent and its title.

The illustration/table should be quoted in the text and inserted as close as possible to the section to which it refers.

In all cases, there should be an indication (entered in the body of the text and soon after the Illustration / Table) of: source [ex: Source: IBGE (2000)], organization [eg Org .: Author (2000)], adaptation [ex: Adapted from Silva (2000)], or elaboration [ex: Elaboration: Author (2015)].

References and citations should follow ABNT guidelines. It is important that the names of the authors in the references, at the end of the text, come complete. Example: SILVA, José Pedro da; SOUZA, Aline. The titles of the works must be highlighted in italics.

Notes should be inserted as footnotes in the page where they are indicated.

It will be the responsibility of the authors to send the text obeying the cultured norm. The Editorial Coordination reserves the right, regardless of the position of the invited reviewers, to request a review of Portuguese, if necessary, so that the submission can be effectively accepted. The same applies to abstracts in foreign languages. It is recommended to consult specialists for the correction of complete articles as well as summaries in other languages. The quality of the spelling and syntactic revision of the texts is the responsibility of the authors.

The content and opinions expressed by the authors of the texts are their exclusive responsibility, not necessarily representing the opinion of the members of the Editorial Committee and the Scientific Council of AMBIENTES: Revista de Geografia e Ecologia Política.

The selection of the texts will be done by two referees, belonging to the Scientific Council; in exceptional cases, ad hoc guests may deliver opinions. In cases where there is no consensus in the opinion, the arbitration shall be decided by means of the opinion of a member of the Editorial Committee.

In the selection process, three situations are considered: text approved for publication, text forwarded to the author for modifications or rejected text. The texts, after being modified by the authors, will be sent to the same reviewers who evaluated the first version.

The journal will not provide any form of copyright remuneration and will not distribute any printed copies of the articles.
