The
journal PSICOLOGIA publishes original research in the general scope
of psychology and behavioral sciences. PSICOLOGIA welcomes empirical
research contributions and literature revisions within specific scientific
areas of Psychology. How
to submit Manuscripts
should be solely submitted electronically to the PSICOLOGIA submission site. The
PSICOLOGIA electronic submission system may be accessed via the APP
site - www.appsicologia.org - or
via the PSICOLOGIA site http://www.appsicologia.org/gestaorevistas/index.php/rpsicologia/user/register.
To submit a paper authors should first register as “authors” in the
PSICOLOGIA site. This registration allows authors not only to submit
new manuscripts but also to follow online the reviewing process of the
submitted manuscripts in the author’s personal area. Before
submitting a manuscript please make sure it conforms to PSICOLOGIA norms
(see below) and the APA publication norms (American Psychological Association,
2010, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,
6ª ed., Washington, DC: APA). Types of Publication PSICOLOGIA welcomes the submission of two
types of manuscripts. Articles,
with a maximum number of 10.000 words; and brief articles, with a maximum number of 2500 words (excluding tables,
figures, references, footnotes and appendixes, for both cases). All
manuscripts should present original fundamental or applied research
based on qualitative and/or quantitative methodologies. Preference is
given to manuscripts that make innovative contributions; that are deemed
to be of general theoretical significance and of broad interest across
specialties of psychology and related fields; and that are written to
be intelligible to a wide range of readers. Manuscript style and structure Manuscripts
style and structure should be prepared according to the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition. However,
to make the review process more manageable for editors and reviewers,
we ask that authors embed figures and tables within the main text rather
than including them at the end of the manuscript. Some
guidelines to facilitate manuscripts’ preparation are presented below
(for more details please consult the APA manual as aforementioned). Manuscripts must be submitted in Word format. Pages should be A4 (21 cm x 29.7 cm), with 3 cm
margins. Spacing between lines should be double-spaced. Font should be Times New Roman; font size: 12
pt. Paragraphs’ first line should be indented (1 cm)
(including titles) Manuscripts in Portuguese language should include
an abstract in Portuguese and in English (150 words maximum length for
both cases). Authors should also indicate at least 4 key words and the
manuscript’s title in both languages. Manuscripts in English language
are exempted from presenting the abstract and key words in Portuguese. This information should be made available in the
3rd step of the online submission (inclusion of metadata),
and in a Word document as an appendix in the 4th step of
the online submission (transference of complementary documents). Manuscripts should not be identified. However,
the cover page should indicate the type of manuscript and the total
number of words (excluding tables, figures, references, footnotes and
appendixes). Names, affiliation and addresses for correspondence with
the authors should be entered in the 3rd step of the online
submission Titles and subtitles should follow the following
format guidelines: Level 1: Centered,
bold Level 2: Aligned to the left, bold. Level 3: Aligned
to the left, bold, italics. Level 4: Aligned to the left, italics. Words in foreign languages should be presented
