Organization of Dossiers:

ALMANACK accepts proposals for dossiers that meet the following editorial guidelines and directions:

•  They may have one or two coordinators. Both should hold a doctorate and be recognized specialists in the dossier's subject matter, preferably from different institutions, with at least one of them being non-Brazilian;
•  Proposals can be submitted in Portuguese, English, Spanish, or French;
•  Proposals can include a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 original and unpublished articles with the following characteristics:
•  Dossier title and institutional affiliation of the proposed editors;
•  Presentation of the proposal (2 to 4 paragraphs);
•  Authors' names, along with their institutional information, titles, and article abstracts;
•  Indication of a schedule for the submission of the final texts, including the presentation by the coordinators (in Portuguese and English);
•  It is suggested that 50% of the texts presented in the proposal be in English, in addition to other languages accepted by the journal (Portuguese, Spanish, French);
•  All texts should be submitted by their respective authors through the journal's website;
•  The approval of dossiers is the responsibility of our Editorial Board and will be communicated to the proposers/organizers as soon as it occurs.

ALMANACK recommends that authorship be based on the following criteria:

•  Substantial contribution to the study's conception.
•  Data analysis or interpretation for the work.
•  Drafting of part of the work or critical review of its intellectual content for the version to be published.

All contributors who do not meet the authorship criteria should be mentioned in the Acknowledgments section, as well as the financial support from funding agencies.

The manuscript should be submitted in a Microsoft Office Word file, which should contain a maximum of 11,000 words, including the title, abstract, keywords, and footnotes, in Times New Roman font, size 12. The files should not exceed 2 MB.

To facilitate the evaluation process, ALMANACK recommends that authors submit their manuscripts in separate files as follows:

1.  A file with:

•  Title: The title should be clear and concise. For titles in Portuguese, French, and Spanish, it is mandatory to provide the title in English as well;
•  Authorship: Authors should be graduates, except for reviews. They should provide their full name, institutional affiliation (University/Department, City, Country), email, and ORCID – all authors should be registered with ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). In manuscripts with multiple authors, each author should indicate their respective ORCID;
•  Funding: All sources of research funding should be mentioned. Indicate the institutional responsibility and project number. The role of funding agencies in conducting the study, analysis, and manuscript writing should be declared in the acknowledgments;
•  Acknowledgments: Contributors who do not meet the authorship criteria should be included in the acknowledgments section;
•  Abstract: The abstract should briefly present the manuscript, not exceeding 250 words. Quotations should not be included in the abstract. Abstracts in Portuguese, French, and Spanish should be accompanied by an English version;
•  Keywords: Include three to six keywords separated by commas in English and the manuscript's language. Search for keywords in the controlled vocabulary of SIBI/USP is recommended.

2.  Another file with the text followed by the bibliography cited in footnotes.
3.  Other file(s) for each image or graphics used.

Authorship should be removed from Word properties. To do this, open the text in Word, click on the "File" menu, and select "Info." Then click on "Properties," choose "Advanced Properties," click on "Summary," and delete the content of the "Author" field. If the Author agrees to reveal his/her identity, as well as the original being available in a Preprint repository, this action is unnecessary.

At the time of submission, the authors choose whether they wish to consent to disclose their identity. In this case, the previous action to remove authorship is unnecessary.

When submitting, authors are requested to:

•  Express their agreement with the Open Science protocols adopted by ALMANACK;
•  Indicate whether they allow their identity to be revealed to reviewers;
•  Must indicate, in the case of 2 or more authors, that each author participated sufficiently in the work to assume responsibility for a significant portion of the content.

ALMANACK employs a system of footnotes for citations. In this system, all references (author, year, page) for books, articles, theses, or similar sources should be indicated as footnotes in a simplified manner. For example: Carvalho, 1980, p. 36. Only at the end, in the bibliography, should the complete references of the works actually cited in the text be provided.

The references mentioned in the manuscript should be numbered in Arabic numerals corresponding to the information cited in the footnotes.

•  Images: Images, along with their complete captions (including authorship and the holding institution's reference), should be numbered using Greek letters. They should indicate their position in the body of the text and be submitted as separate files, as supplementary documents (step 4 of the electronic submission system). Only images in TIFF or JPEG format with a resolution of 300 dpi will be accepted.
•  ALMANACK does not take responsibility for obtaining image copyrights.
•  Charts, Figures, and Tables: Tables and figures should be numbered in the order of their appearance in the text. They should include a title and be provided in separate files. They should have an open background and be entirely white.

For final bibliography citations, you should follow the following pattern: ABNT NBR – 6023.

Manuscripts should be submitted through the OJS system on the journal's website: https://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/alm/index.

Before the publication of accepted articles, corresponding authors will receive the referee reports and must adjust the text according to the suggestions received. Afterward, they will send the revised article to the journal, highlighting the changes made in yellow. Once the modifications have been verified, the article will be prepared for publication. Before that, the author will receive the revised text in a Word file. Corrections or changes that the author requests at this stage should be limited to typographical errors; the content or authorship cannot be altered.
