1. The originals may be written in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. Texts in Portuguese and Spanish shall feature the title, abstract and key words in the original language and in English. Texts in French and English shall have the title, abstract and key words in the original language and in Portuguese. Footnotes or notes at the end of the article shall not be accepted.
2. The texts shall be double-spaced, in Times New Roman with a font size of 12, with 2.5 cm margins, in MS Word format and sent by electronic mail only (http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/csc-scielo) in accordance with the guidelines of the site.
3. Published articles shall be the property of C&SC journal, the full or partial reproduction thereof being prohibited in any medium, whether printed or electronic, without the prior permission of the editors-in-chief of the Journal. The secondary publication shall indicate the source of the original publication.
4. The articles submitted to C&SC shall not be offered simultaneously to other magazines.
5. Ethical issues relating to research publications involving human beings are the sole responsibility of the authors and shall be in accordance with the principles contained in the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association (1964, as revised in 1975, 1983, 1989, 1989, 1996 and 2000).
6. The articles shall be submitted with authorization to reproduce previously published material, use illustrations that may identify people and to transfer copyright and other documents.
7. The concepts and opinions expressed in the articles, as well as the accuracy and validity of the quotations shall be the exclusive responsibility of the authors.
8. The texts are generally (but not necessarily) divided into sections with the title headings Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, with the inclusion of subheadings within some sections sometimes being required. The titles and subtitles of the sections shall not be organized with progressive numbering, but with graphical features (upper case, decrease in margin, etc.).
9. The title shall have no more than 120 characters with spaces and an abstract with a maximum of 1400 characters including spaces (extending from the word "abstract" to the last keyword), which shall specify the scope, objectives, methodology, theoretical approach and the results of the research or investigation. Immediately below the abstract the authors shall indicate no more than five (5) key words. We draw attention to the importance of clarity and objectivity in writing the abstract, which shall certainly elicit the reader's interest in the article, and the key words that will assist in the multiple indexing of the article. The key words in the original language and in English must be mandatorily included in DeCS/MeSH (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ and http://decs.bvs.br/).
10. When submitting articles to the Journal platform, it is mandatory that only one author has an ORCID registration (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). However, when the article is approved to be published in SciELO, all authors must have an ORCID registration. Therefore, for authors who do not have it yet, it is recommended that they register and validate it in ScholarOne. To register with ORCID go to the website (https://orcid.org/), and to validate the ORCID on ScholarOne, go to the website (https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/csc-scielo) and then, in the Log In page, click the Log In With ORCID iD button.
Authorship
1. The people designated as authors shall have participated in the drafting of the articles such that they can publicly assume responsibility for their content. Qualification as an author shall assume: a) the conception and design or analysis and interpretation of data; b) drafting the article or revising it critically; and c) approval of the version to be published. The individual contributions of each author shall be specified at the end of the text (e.g. LMF worked on the design and final text and CMG worked on the research and methodology).
2. The maximum number of authors per paper is eight. If this is exceeded, the exceeding authors’ names will be included in the acknowledgments. Some papers may have more authors in the case of research groups or in exceptional cases with the authorization of the editors.
Nomenclature
1. The rules for public health/community health nomenclature, as well as abbreviations and conventions adopted in the specialized disciplines, shall be rigidly adhered to. Abbreviations shall be avoided in the title and abstract.
2. The full designation to which an abbreviation refers shall precede its first appearance in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement.
Illustrations and Scales
1. The illustrative material of C&SC journal includes tables (demonstrative elements such as numbers, measures, percentages, etc.), charts (demonstrative elements with textual information), graphs (schematic demonstration of a fact and its variations), figures (schematic demonstration of information by means of maps, diagrams, flowcharts, as well as by means of drawings or photographs). It shall be borne in mind that the magazine is printed in one color only, namely black, and if the illustrative material is colored, it will be converted to grayscale.
2. The number of illustrative materials shall not exceed five per article, with exceptions relating to articles of systematization of specific areas of a thematic field. In this case the authors shall negotiate with the editors-in-chief.
3. All illustrative material should be produced in Word or Excel formats and submitted with titles and sources. Note: The IBGE link (http://biblioteca.ibge.gov.br/visualizacao/livros/liv23907pdf) contains the guidelines for the development of tables. Tables should be set in rows and columns, without extra spaces and without "page breaks". Each data must be entered in a separate cell. Important note: Tables and charts should bear a brief information. Tables and charts should not be more than 15 cm wide x 18 cm high and should not exceed two pages (A4 size, single-spaced and font size 9).
4. The tables and charts should be produced in Word or Excel formats and submitted with titles and sources. Note: The IBGE link (http://biblioteca.ibge.gov.br/visualizacao/livros/liv2390.pdf) contains the guidelines for the development of tables. Tables should be set in rows and columns, without extra spaces and without "page breaks". Each data must be entered in a separate cell. Important note: Tables and charts should bear a brief information. Tables and charts should not be more than 15 cm wide x 18 cm high and should not exceed two pages (A4 size, single-spaced and font size 9).
5. Graphs and figures can be produced in Excel, Word or PPT. Authors must submit the file in the original program, separated from the text, in an editable format (which allows the "copy and paste" feature) and in PDF or JPEG formats, GRAY SHADES. Graphs generated in image programs should be submitted in JPEG, GRAY TONES, with a minimum resolution of 200 dpi and maximum size of 20cm height x 15cm width. The original image must be of good quality, since there is no point in increasing resolution if the original figure is compromised. Graphs and figures should also be submitted with titles and sources. Figures and graphs must fit at most one page (A4 size, 15cm wide x 20cm high, font size 9).
6. Picture files such as maps or photos should be saved in (or exported to) the JPEG, TIF or PDF formats. In any case, the material must be generated and saved at the highest resolution (300 DPI or more) and the largest possible size (within the 21cm height x 15cm width). Any text in the figure must be formatted in Times New Roman, font size 9. Fonts and captions should also be submitted in an editable format that allows the "copy / paste" feature. This type of figure should also be submitted with titles and sources.
7. Authors who insert scales in their works must explicitly state in the letter of submission of their articles, whether they are in the public domain or if they have been granted permission to use them.
