Journal's Publication Characteristics and Review Process
Original manuscripts should be electronically submitted in a document attached to a formally sent e-mail
to the Editors. Texts in “ODT”, “SXW”,
“DOC” or “RTF” file formats are preferred.
Figures can be formatted as “JPEG”, “BMP”,
“TIFF”, with high quality to allow electronic
(“PDF”) viewing with sufficient details.
Manuscripts should be accepted preferably in English but also in Spanish and Portuguese (with two Abstracts, both in English and Spanish/Portuguese).
There is no a priori limitation in the
manuscripts number of pages, inclusion of high resolution color
figures (photos, maps, etc.) or tables in each article, since authors
fit them in A4 pages with minimum margins of 2 cm. Please, see all details in the Instructions for authors' section before submitting a manuscript.
Submitted manuscripts will be first checked by the
Editors to determine if they are within the Journal’s scope and
have the minimum requirements in terms of organization and content.
After acceptance by the Editors, the manuscript will be send to three
external referees. They will be asked to send their comments and
acceptance/rejection recommendations back in a four weeks time. After
receiving the reviews, authors will have 15 days to provide a new,
corrected version of their manuscript.
After the Editors' final approval, a PDF
proof of the article will be sent to the first author to be checked.
The final version will be sent to the first author and also be freely
available in the Journal's site, even before the current
Volume/Number is completed.
Besides traditional research articles our Journal may also accept for publication:
* Scientific original illustrations,
including author's full information, specimen information and
scientific data, with comments from the artist (one page). Obs.: these
images cannot be used by other people without direct authorization from
the artist.
* Scientific photos including author's
full information, specimen and site information and scientific relevant
data, with comments from the photographer (one page). Obs.: these pictures
cannot be used by other people without direct authorization from the
photographer.
The latter two items (original illustrations and photographs) will not have neither the “full article” nor the “short note” status but will be considered as scientific diffusion material, only.
* Brazilian researchers: please cite this material as “other production” in the Lattes Platform C.vitae. *
* Communication of scientific books published
and also useful software produced by the scientific community.
