PAPER STRUCTURE

Title of the article: articles must contain the title in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, the first one is the language of the paper; only the first word and proper names should start with a capital letter. On the next line, the title is translated into English and followed by Spanish, if the article is in Portuguese. Article written in English must provide a translation into Portuguese followed by Spanish. Article written in Spanish must present English translation, followed by the Portuguese.

Resumo, Abstract, and Resumen: Each one should contain no more than 250 words and present the purpose, approach, methodology, results, and conclusions in a single paragraph in the corresponding language, following the same order of languages of the titles.

Palavras-chave, keywords, and palabras clave: minimum of 3 and maximum of 5, beginning with a capital letter and separated by a full stop and in the same language as the article.

In the text: this should begin below the items outlined above, without page breaks. The conventional order of a theoretical and empirical scientific article should be an introduction, theoretical and reference framework, methodology, results and analysis, conclusion, and references. Theoretical essays should be formatted in coherence with the approach adopted by the author.

The number of submissions: the editorial policy of Cadernos EBAPE.BR limits the number of submissions, per author, to two per year, irrespective of contribution to the authorship; modified versions of rejected articles are also not eligible for submission.

The number of authors: Since June 2020, the maximum number of authors per article is 4; no alterations to authorship are permitted (inclusion or substitution) after an online submission has been made. Requests to change authorship will result in the article being shelved.

Identification of authors and co-authors: submitted articles should not identify the author or co-authors. If it is possible to identify the author in the text or in the references, the article will be shelved.

The authors should be identified in a separate file containing the title of the work, the full name(s) of the author(s), the institution(s) with which they are connected, the position(s) they hold, and e-mail address and academic background. When a work has been written by more than one author, their names should be listed according to their contribution to the article.

Overlapping publication: the publication of two articles with considerable overlapping is not acceptable, even in different academic journals. Several publications with a single set of data can only be permitted: (a) if it is not possible to write a single article in a maximum of 30 pages; and (b) if the articles have different purposes and approaches. The editor must be informed upon submission if the article is in some form available online.

The originality of the article: articles and reviews submitted should be unpublished elsewhere, either in Brazil or overseas, and should not be under consideration for publication and/or published in any other journal or other media source, except for works presented in Proceedings of conferences.

The content of submitted articles is the sole responsibility of the author(s). When submitting an article, the authors guarantee that there is no violation of copyright or any other right of third parties. Articles may be cited without prior authorization provided that the source is clearly identified.

Articles will only be forwarded for blind review by members of the editorial committee if they fit in these submission rules and have been submitted through the online submission system. The same procedure applies to the submission of Book Reviews and Case Studies & Teaching Cases.

Book reviews are critiques of national or international books and scientific publications or publications of scientific interest in the field of Administration. A review should summarize, analyze, compare and criticize the work in question, thereby constituting a theoretical or scientific contribution to the field. In this sense, a review does not only mention the publication or existence of the work but should offer some contribution either to the field or theme in question by way of critical analysis.

The first page should contain the title, names of the authors, and publishing data of the reviewed work (location, publisher, year of publication, number of pages, and ISBN) without identifying the author of the review. The review should be no longer than three pages and should include a scan of the book cover on the last page.

Case Studies & Teaching Cases: the documents must obey the same rules of submission of the journal regarding the minimum and a maximum number of words and formatting/standardization. The work should be divided into two parts: one formed by the case itself and the other in which the teaching and/or research notes will be presented.

When an article, book review, or case studies & teaching cases is accepted for publication, the copyright (including translation rights) is ceded by the author(s) to Cadernos EBAPE.BR.

Submission

Articles, book reviews, and case studies & teaching cases should be submitted using the online submission system ScholarOne Manuscripts.
