Author Guidelines
1) Registration in the OJS system and subsequent access through login and password are mandatory for paper submission and for the subsequent editorial process.
2) As part of the submission process, authors are required to verify the compliance of the submission with all items listed below. Submissions that do not comply will be returned to the authors.
3) RED publishes exclusively unpublished papers resulting from research, studies, and artistic and scientific practices in the field of Dance. Unpublished papers are published in Portuguese or English. The journal accepts original submissions in English from foreign authors.
4) The texts to be published must be in paper format, emphasizing the theoretical dimension and presenting a unique and important contribution to the field of Dance. The author(s) are entirely responsible for the form and content of their paper(s).
5) It is recommended that texts referring to performances, presentations, or similar include images and/or videos, which must be inserted within the body of the text, with subtitles placed below the insertion, single-spaced, and centered. The authors declare that they hold the copyright for the inserted images.
6) All submissions will undergo scientific evaluation through the double-blind peer review system. Papers that are part of thematic sections organized by a guest editor must be submitted by the author and will go through the same peer review process.
7) Submissions must be made through the RED OJS system, where the data of the authors and co-authors must be entered exclusively in the system’s form. Meta-data, including email address, affiliation (with the name of the institution, acronym, and country), ORCID ID, and a biography (with a maximum of 200 words) emphasizing institutional links and academic and artistic backgrounds, should be provided. During the submission process, an illustrative image of the work may also be uploaded (JPG or PNG, minimum 300 dpi), for which the author ensures permission to publish. This image will be used if the article is published on the RED website.
8) The paper document must be free of any identification, either through the authors' names typed in the body of the text or in the file properties, or through any mention of information that could reveal the authorship. If the authorship of the paper can be identified by the bibliographic references included in the body text, these should be replaced by Author (20XX)____________.
Authors must remove personal information from the file properties by following these steps:
Microsoft Word for Windows:
File → Info → Check for Issues → Inspect Document → Select the type of content to inspect → Inspect → Remove All → Close → Save.
Microsoft Word for MacOS:
Tools → Protect Document → Remove personal information when saving → OK → Save.
If you encounter difficulties anonymizing the article, this should be mentioned in the "Comments to the Editor" section during online submission to receive personalized assistance.
9) All quotations must be presented in the original language. In the case of a less common language, it is recommended to include the translation into English immediately afterward, enclosed in square brackets.
10) Papers should include an abstract (200-300 words) and 3-5 keywords (keywords should address essential elements of the paper, such as the research topic, population, method, application of results or findings, and can be listed in any order, not necessarily alphabetical).
