2.4. STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP
For articles nominated for co-authorship or that have required the participation of other collaborators, a declaration of the different roles of authorship and participation must be included. To determine this classification (data visualization, research, writing, among others), we suggest consulting the taxonomy of academic collaboration networks (CRediT). Otherwise, the authors must declare, in a legend with their initials: “XX. and YY. jointly contributed to the writing of this article.”
2.5. BIBLIOGRAPHY
It is the list of bibliographic references made according to APA standards, located at the end of the article and in alphabetical order. All citations (textual or not) must correspond to a bibliographic reference. Any source or bibliography that is not referenced in the text should NOT be included.
CLARIFICATION: current indexing formats for academic publications require strict control of this correspondence between references within the text and what is included in the final list.
Details to take into consideration while compiling the bibliography:
Works should be arranged alphabetically by author's last name. If several works by the same author are mentioned, these will be in chronological order, starting with the oldest.
If in the same year there are more than one work of equal authorship, their order must be indicated with letters (1997a,1997b).
If the work has between two and seven authors, the last name and first initial of all of them must be indicated.
If the work has eight or more authors, the last name and initial of the first name of the first six will be indicated, then an ellipsis (...) and finally the last name and initial of the first name of the last author.
If the work has a compiler (Comp.) or director (Dir.), it must be identified by his or her last name.
If the work does not have an author, the title of the work will be stated first and then the date.
If the work does not have a date, the surname and first name of the author will be indicated and then (s. f.).
In works in a foreign language, the capital letters of the original titles will be maintained.
If the book has more than one edition and you are interested in identifying it, after the title it must be stated in parentheses which of them is being referred to.

2.6. SUPPORTING DATA OF THE RESEARCH
The authors must ensure the availability and preservation of the data used in the articles presented in accordance with Law No. 26,899 on Digital Repositories. If the article is accepted, prior to publication, it is recommended that the data generated should be deposited in one of the research repositories (e.g.: SciELO Data). The aim is to include the complete citation of the data, which facilitates the location of the article, its validation, metrics and impact, enhancing the transparency of the research.
