Submissions

Author Guidelines

1 General rules

Manuscripts are to be submitted in Portuguese, Spanish, or English; translations must be into Portuguese.

The submitted text must be original (not previously published in national or foreign journals, nor in book format or book chapter); texts presented orally in congresses are considered original; manuscripts that expand upon material that has already been published in conference proceedings must make a statement to this effect on the front page and it will be up to ad hoc referees to assess whether the development of the article content has been sufficient to be considered original.

The main file with the submitted text must be sent without any type of identification of the authorship, to guarantee the blind evaluation. In case of acceptance, the author will submit a version with the incorporation of his data, as well as his institution in full, a summary of the biography in the first footer and e-mail for contact.

Step 3 of the submission process (metadata), must appear in the three languages, and must include:

- Title [Only the first letter in capital letters, except proper names; subtitle with lowercase words].

- Keywords [First letter in uppercase - Fill each term and end with <ENTER> in each of the three to five keywords].

- Knowledge Area [Disciplines / types of study / branches of knowledge].

- Language [main language code of the text - pt: Portuguese / en: English / es: Spanish].

- Research agencies [Source of funding, optional].

2 Format of submissions

Texts must be submitted in files that can be edited by Word, preferably in .doc or .docx formats.

Papers must be formatted to fit A4-sized paper; 2.5 margins all around (left, right and top, bottom); Arial 12; justified margins, 1.5 cm spacing; 2.0 cm first-line paragraph indentation; page numbers at the bottom right margin, Arial 10.

When acronyms are used, their first occurrence must appear in full.

Example:

Disc titles should appear in italics and track titles should appear in quotation marks, when used in the text. In the references, the highlight follows the ABNT rules.

3 Format of submissions

Articles must have a title, abstract (up to 250 words) and three to five keywords.

English articles must be submitted with the translation of the title, abstract and keywords into Portuguese.

The articles can occupy between 15 and 25 pages (between 6 and 8 thousand words, approximately), including title, abstract, keywords (pt; en; es) and references. Reviews should be between 4 and 6 pages long.

Articles can be divided into sections or subsections with intertitles.

The articles can be accompanied by images, in JPG format and with a resolution of 300 dpi, already inserted in the body of the text and sent in separate files.

Both musical examples and figures or tables must be preceded by a succinct, centralized caption, with simple paragraph spacing, font Arial 12, italic. Such captions must be identified as Ex., Fig. Etc., numbered sequentially (examples: Ex. 1– Excerpt from the score of ...; Ex. 2– Photo of the back cover of the disc ...; Ex. 3– Table with ...) and referenced in the text. Below the illustration, the source must be identified.

Examples:

- Source: elaborated by the author.

- Source: extracted from Favaretto (2007).

- Source: extracted from the Brazilian Digital Periodicals Library.

- Source: available at: https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/whos-who-on-the-beatles-sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club-band-album-cover/

Note: to avoid distorting the layout of the illustrations, it is suggested to insert a table with three lines, with the outlines of the table invisible, and with the caption centered in the first line, the figure or example in the middle line and the data source in bottom line.

The authors of the articles, reviews or interviews accepted for publication, may be asked for the originals of the image files.

Initials of musical notes should always be capitalized (C, D, E, etc.). For specific symbols, such as sharps, flats, and naturals, musical fonts, like BACH may be used and is available for download at the URL http://www.mu.qub.ac.uk/tomita/bachfont.

Equations and formulas must be highlighted in the text and numbered with Arabic numerals in parentheses, right aligned.

Italics are used exclusively for foreign terms and titles of works, both in pre-textual and in-text elements. If there is a need to highlight words or passages, they should be highlighted in bold or placed within quotation marks.

Regarding note position, middle C is designated C4.

4 Citations, references, and notes

Quotations of three lines or less should be inserted in the body of the text enclosed within double quotation marks (single quotation marks are used to indicate a quote within a quote), followed by the reference in the “Author-Date” format. For quotations that are more than three lines, highlight the quotation in a block of text indented 3 cm from the left margin, without indenting the first line, and separated from the text with a blank space and followed by the reference in the “Author-Date” format (omit quotation marks, font 11, single space).

The journal uses the author-data system in parentheses in the text; the author's last name must be in capital letters only when it appears in parentheses.

Example:

According to Pessoa (2012, p. 74), [...] “presume-se que o processo formativo deva perdurar” (CAPORALETTI, 2018, 14).

Footnotes with explanatory character may be used. They should not be used as reference notes, as they will appear in the text itself. However, they may indicate a complementary bibliography. Notes should be indicated in the body of the text by Arabic numerals, in ascending order, and listed at the bottom of the page in size 10.

For quotations in a foreign language, the translation is included within the body of the text and the original quote placed in a footnote enclosed in quotation marks and accompanied by the reference.

5 – Reference formatting

Source information in parentheses, following the author-date system, should be structured as follows:
