Full guidelines on document formatting, including citations and references (APA style) are included in the template.

Proofreading and translation
Proofreading policy, approved by the Editorial Committee of Linhas Críticas and valid for all submissions as of 04/20/2021:
After approval, the text must go through proofreading, under the responsibility of the authors. The service must be performed by a qualified professional, with a later presentation of the receipt and / or declaration of service provision, in addition to the final file with the revision marks (in another color or with the text editor's review control tool enabled). The maximum deadline for returning the revised text is 7 (seven) days.
There will be no commercial agreement between Linhas Críticas and the proofreaders. The entire process will have as parts only the authors and the proofreader, including, but not limited to: budget, contract, payment and invoice issuance.

Co-authorship
We consider authors to be those who have an effective intellectual and scientific contribution to the work. The main author is responsible for submitting, identifying the other authors, communicating with the journal's editorial board and the ethical integrity of the article as a whole, assuming responsibility for the effective participation of each author and that all authors have agreed with the content of the article.

Articles that will not be evaluated

• Concomitantly forwarded to more than one journal;
• Simultaneous (two or more articles by the same author);
• From the same author or co-author in the same biennium, either as the main author or co-author of the article;
• From authors at the University of Brasília in a percentage greater than 5% of the annual volume.

Review process
After submission, manuscripts are submitted to desk review. Articles and essays also undergo double-blind peer review. Interviews, book reviews and dossier presentations do not undergo double-blind peer review. The Linhas Críticas assessment process is detailed below:

Desk review
In desk review, the formal aspects of the manuscript are checked: citations, references, general formatting, similarities and attachments. In case of non-compliance with any of the journal's guidelines, the authors will have 7 days for adjustments.

Double blind peer review
After the desk review, articles and essays will be submitted to double blind peer review, being analyzed by at least two external reviewers (another institution or country) blindly (without the identification of authorship and reviewers) for issuing opinions.
The opinions issued may recommend: Accept Submission; Revisions Required; Resubmit for Review; Resubmit elsewhere; Decline Submission.
If divergent opinions occur, a third reviewer may be appointed.

Text rewording request
The opinions of the text evaluation are sent to the authors, and may indicate necessary changes or adaptations. This procedure aims at the transparency of the evaluation and the improvement of the text.
When requested, the article must be reformulated and resubmitted to the journal (through the system) within 30 days from the date of the reformulation request. After 30 days, if there is no response from the authors, the text will be rejected.

Refusal
The editors have the right to refuse the article for which reformulations were requested that were not complied with, or delivered after the deadline, as well as, with regard to publication, the final word belongs to the editors.
After review, and the article is not approved for publication, the journal will inform the author about the editorial decision through the system, and will archive the article.
