The text should be submitted in pdf format without author identification and in Microsoft Word 2019 format with author identification, through the web submission system.

Papers should not exceed 80,000 characters or 18 pages, including figures, tables and references at the end of the text. The first paragraph should be reserved for the name of the scientific area in which the authors propose to include the paper, in capital letters, Times New Roman, 10, normal and left justified.

After inserting a space (one blank line), the second paragraph should include the title of the paper, in capital letters, Times New Roman, 12, bold and left justified.       

After inserting a space (one blank line), the third paragraph should begin with the full name and surname of the authors, followed by the e-mail address and affiliation, Times New Roman font, 11, normal and right justified.

After inserting a blank line, the fifth paragraph should begin with the expression ‘KEY WORDS’, in capital letters, Times New Roman, 11, bold, and the key words should be mentioned in Times New Roman, 11, normal, left justified and separated by commas. Between three and five keywords should be indicated. The keywords can be presented in Portuguese or Spanish, always with ‘KEYWORDS’ or English translation only. A line is inserted after the keywords.

After two blank spaces, the first heading will begin and then the text, which should be written in Times New Roman, 10, normal, without tabs, justified, separating the paragraphs with a blank line. Titles and subtitles should be identified with Arabic numerals (1,2,3…), in capital letters, Times New Roman, 10, bold, justified, preceded by two blank lines and followed by a blank line. Footnotes[1] should appear at the bottom of the page in Times New Roman, 8, normal and justified.

  1. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

After two blank spaces, the first heading will begin and then the text, which should be written in Times New Roman, 10, normal font, without tabs, justified, separating the paragraphs with a blank line. The titles and subtitles of the text will be identified with Arabic numeration (1,2,3…), in capital letters, Times New Roman, 10, bold, justified, preceded by two blank lines and followed by a blank line.

The titles presented in this template are merely illustrative. Authors may rename them and create the subtitles they consider pertinent, but obeying the rules described above. Figures (graphs, flowcharts, etc.) should preferably be in black and white, centered, with numbered legend and font below, written in Times New Roman, 10, normal, inserted in the text and made with Microsoft Office applications or, alternatively, inserted as images (see Figure 1).

Tables should be in black and white, centered, with numbered title above and font below, written in Times New Roman, 10, normal, to be inserted in the text (see Table 1). Acronyms and/or abbreviations presented in the tables, their meaning should be presented in ‘Note to the table’, separated by a semicolon, in Times New Roman, 8, normal.

Note: μ, mean population; σ, standard deviation; n, number.

[1] Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page in Times New Roman font, 8, normal and justified.

 

Citations of sources in the text will be in international format (American Psychological Association [APA], 2013). Various publications (e.g., Anthony & Young, 1999; Moreira, 2009) may serve as examples of citations. Only the sources cited throughout the paper may be included in the list of references, presented at the end of the document, prepared according to the APA standard in Times New Roman, 9, normal. The examples to be presented in the final references, in alphabetical order of the cited authors, refer to the APA manual itself (American Psychological Association [APA], 2013), another book (Anthony & Young, 1999), a scientific article (Balakrishnan, Pugely, & Shah, 2017), a book chapter (Moreira, 2009), a legal document (Decree-Law no. 108/2011, November 17) and a website (Jornadas Luso-Espanholas de Gestão Científica, 2025).

The theoretical framework (item 2) and the results (item 4) can be renamed by similar denominations, on the one hand, and subdivided into subheadings, on the other, whenever the authors deem it more appropriate.

Equations should be numbered sequentially, in parentheses, stand alone on one line and be referenced in the text (Eq. 1).
