Authorship credit must be based on substantial contributions, such as study conception and design, or data analysis and interpretation. The inclusion of names of individuals who did not provide substantial contributions is not justified. The first page of the article must also contain the name of the institution(s) and academic titles of each author.

The Journal strongly recommends that all authors and coauthors have their curricula updated in the Lattes Platform when submitting articles.

Manuscript assessment will only begin after the inclusion of this information in the title page.

The manuscripts must explicitly include in the identification page the contribution of each author.

Include the ORCID® (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) registry number. If you do not have one, get one for free at: <https://orcid.org/register>. Learn more here.

The authors should indicate three possible referees for the manuscript with their respective e-mails and institutions. Alternatively, the authors may indicate three referees that they would not like to assess their manuscript.

EXECUTIVE BOARD APPRAISAL

Original copies will be accepted for evaluation as long as they have not been previously published and are accompanied by the following: request for publication in the Journal, responsibility, transfer of copyright and compliance with the principles of research ethics, when involving humans.

At submission, the article must be linked to at least one of the lines presented in FOCUS and SCOPE.

The manuscripts submitted, when derived from studies involving human subjects, must have been approved by the Research Ethics Committee, according to Resolution No. 510, dated April 7, 2016, which provides for the rules applicable to research in Humanities and Social Science. Authors should insert the scanned copy of the institution's Ethics Research Committee approval statement.

The editorial process will only begin if the manuscripts submitted comply with the instructions. Otherwise, they will be returned for regulatory compliance, inclusion of letter or other documents, even before they are submitted for merit assessment of their work.

When reproducing previously published material in the manuscript (including text, charts, tables, figures or any other material), applicable copyright laws must be complied with; in addition the source should be cited.

It is strongly recommended that the author(s) seek professional language advice (proofreaders and/or certified translators in Portuguese and English) before submitting original copies that may contain inaccuracies and/or morphological, syntactic, idiomatic or style inadequacies.

Originals containing inaccuracies and/or inadequacies will be returned even before they are submitted for evaluation regarding the merit of the work and the convenience of its publication.

Manuscripts may also be rejected without detailed comments after initial review by the Executive Board of Revista da Educação PUC-Campinas Journal, if the articles are considered inappropriate or of insufficient scientific priority for publication in the Journal.

Revista de Educação PUC-Campinas does not publish more than two articles by the same author in the same year (volume). This procedure aims at increasing the number of subjects and collaborations from national and international authors. Likewise, there is a maximum limit of 1 (one) article written by PUC-Campinas’ professors-researchers per year (volume), to avoid endogeny.

At the end of the year, the list of the ad hoc consultants who collaborated in the evaluation of the manuscripts will be published in the PUC-Campinas Scientific Journals Portal (https://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/reveducacao/index).

EVALUATION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS

Manuscripts will be forwarded without the name(s) of the author(s) to at least two ad hoc reviewers of the area. In the event of divergence of assessment and/or identification of conflict of interest, a third reviewer will be appointed. Ad hoc reviewers will recommend acceptance/refusal of the articles or may suggest their reformulation. In this case, the article revised by the author will either return to the reviewers for final evaluation or will be evaluated by the Executive Board.

With two approving opinions, the article will be sent to the Editorial Board for ad referendum and communication to the author. Minor changes to the text may be made by the Journal's Executive Board in accordance with internal operating standards and criteria.

With the double-blind review system, the names of the reviewers will remain confidential; in addition, the names of the authors of the manuscripts and of their institutions will be maintained under secrecy.

Papers that receive suggestions for changes will be returned to the authors for corrections, together with the opinions or a synthesis of the reviewers’ opinion, and should be returned within the time limit set forth by the Executive Board. If the authors do not return the revised manuscript and the response letter within the stipulated deadline, the editorial process will be terminated at any stage of submission. The title and code of the manuscript should be specified.

Reviewed version based on reviewer’s opinion: the reviewed version should be forwarded via website <https://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/reveducacao/index>. The author(s) should submit only the last version of the paper. The article’s text should use a color font (blue color) for all changes made, along with a letter to the editor, reiterating the author’s interest in publishing his/her articles in this Journal and informing which changes were made in the manuscript. If there is disagreement about the reviewers' recommendations, the author(s) should present the arguments that justify their position.

The manuscript evaluation process ends in the second version. The final decision on whether or not to publish the manuscript is always the editors’. Minor changes to the text may be made by the Journal's Executive Board in accordance with internal review criteria and standards.

ARTWORK PROOF

PDF proofs will be sent to the authors to check the article's artwork. The proofs must be returned to the Editorial Center by the stipulated date (48 hours). Other changes to the original manuscript will not be accepted at this stage.

Only spelling corrections, change of a word, and numeric data in tables and charts are allowed. Inclusion and/or exclusion of sentences, paragraphs, images and references will not be accepted. If something to be corrected is detected, write down notes as follows:

a) In the PDF article using available resources;

b) Note in lowercase letters on the edge of the paper and send only the scanned corrected pages;

c) List in Word documents, informing page, column (if right or left), corresponding paragraph, beginning of the sentence and its respective line.

Authors must sign the terms of agreement of the final art (text and illustrations), using the forms delivered with the proof.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

All articles must be submitted electronically only through the PUC-Campinas Scientific Journals Portal website. <https://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/reveducacao>. If this is the first access, the author(s) must fill in their personal data in the item “Register”. If they are already registered, just the login and password should be entered.

Illustrations (Tables, Figures and Charts)
Illustrations are any types of tables, figures, charts, drawings, schematics, flowcharts, photographs, maps, organization charts, diagrams, plans, portraits, etc., which serve to illustrate research data. Information about the place and year of study is essential for empirical articles. Figures are not allowed to represent the same table data or data already described in the text.

A maximum of 5 (five) illustrations per article are accepted, including all typologies mentioned above.

Illustrations must be inserted after the References; they must also be submitted separately in their original program via the SEER platform at the time of submission of the manuscript.

Illustrations must be editable, and the following editing programs are accepted: Excel, GraphPrism, SPSS 22, Corel Draw Suite X7, Adobe Illustrator, and Word. If you choose to use the program, you should use the standard font Arial, font size 7, adopted by the journal in the issue.

Charts presented with gridlines are not accepted. In addition, elements (bars, circles) cannot have volume (3-D).

The author is responsible for the quality of the illustrations, which should allow reduction without loss of definition, for the sizes of 8cm or 16cm, respectively, since the use of landscape format is not allowed.

Each illustration should be given a short and concise title, should be numbered consecutively and independently, with Arabic numerals, according to the order of data mentioned. Charts and tables will have open side borders.
