Submissions

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3) RED publishes exclusively unpublished papers resulting from research, studies, and artistic and scientific practices in the field of Dance. Unpublished papers are published in Portuguese or English.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)____________. If you encounter difficulties in making the paper anonymous, you should mention this in the "comments to the editor" section during the online submission process so that personal assistance can be provided.

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). Papers should be formatted in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or RTF file as follows:

(10.1) single-spaced, no indentation, justified paragraph alignment;

(10.2) font Arial or Roboto 12 points;

(10.3) all margins of the document are 2.5 cm;

(10.4) quotations longer than 40 words should appear detached from the body of the text, single spaced, without quotation marks and indented two cm from the left and right margins;

(10.5) double quotation marks only for direct quotations in the body of the text;

(10.6) italics are used for foreign words, neologisms, for particular uses, and titles of works. Do not use bold or underline in these cases;

(10.7) underlining is used only in URL addresses;

(10.8) footnotes are used instead of endnotes;

(10.9) tables (demographic, factor analysis, correlation, regression, etc.) as visual representations composed of columns and rows, in which numbers, text, or a combination of both are presented, should be numbered and ordered, with the table number (e.g., Table 1) appearing above the title and body of the table. When necessary, notes may be added below the table for the description of content, definitions of abbreviations, explanations of asterisks, and/or copyright attribution. https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/tables-figures/sample-tables;

(10.10) figures (graphs, flow charts, drawings, maps, photographs, infographics, and other illustrations) should be numbered and ordered, where the figure number (e.g., Figure 1) appears above the figure title and the image. When necessary, notes may be added below the figure for description and/or copyright attribution https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/tables-figures/figures;

(10.11) the research funding entity, when applicable, should be mentioned at the end of the document;

(10.12) the article should be sized for A4 paper and have between 10 and 20 pages, with references, footnotes, and figures/tables (minimum 300 dpi);

(10.13) in-text references must use the author/date system as follows: (Author's last name, year) for indirect citations and (Author's last name, year, page) for direct citations (Examples: (Alves, 2007) or (Alves & Moura, 2020, p. 45). Different titles of the same author and year should be identified with a letter that differentiates them. Example: (Alves, 2007a, p. 21) https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/paraphrasing;

(10.14) the list of bibliographical references should be unique, integrating all textual and/or audiovisual works used that specifically support the ideas, arguments, and concepts in the article; it should take the format indicated by the 7th edition of the APA style and, when available, the DOIs should be indicated. Examples: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples

11) Scientific Transparency

It is also mandatory to declare and specify the contribution of each author. The Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) is recommended, providing guidance on 14 roles typically performed by collaborators in academic output.

Recommendations for applying the CRediT taxonomy are as follows: list all contributions, whether from authors or other individuals, assigning multiple roles to individual contributors or, for a given role, assigning multiple contributors; specify, if applicable, the degree of contribution as 'major', 'equal', or 'supportive'; and provide the opportunity for all contributors to review and confirm the roles assigned to them;

The statements and specifications mentioned are recorded in the document "Authorship Statements and Specifications," which must be signed and submitted with the article. A signature from all authors of the paper is required, and this can be done via electronic signature.
