ANAIS DA ACADEMIA BRASILEIRA DE CIENCIAS
Instructions to authors
OPEN ACCESS POLICY
The journal Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências from 2012 onwards only considers online submissions. Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the instructions below, please visit the new, improved online submission website at https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/aabc-scielo. Please read these instructions carefully and follow them strictly. In this way you will help ensure that the review and publication of your paper are as efficient and quick as possible. The editors reserve the right to return manuscripts that are not in accordance with these instructions. Papers must be clearly and concisely written in English.
Aim and editorial policy
All submitted manuscripts should contain original research not previously published and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The primary criterion for acceptance is scientific quality. Papers should avoid excessive use of abbreviations or jargon, and should be intelligible to as wide an audience as possible. Particular attention should be paid to the Abstract, Introduction, and Discussion sections, which should clearly draw attention to the novelty and significance of the data reported. Failure to do this may result in delays in publication or rejection of the paper. Articles accepted for publication become property of the journal.
Texts can be published as a review, a full paper (article) or as a short communication. Issues appear in March, June, September and December.
Types of Papers
Reviews
Reviews are published by invitation only and still have to undergo our peer review process. However, a proposal for a Review may be submitted via e-mail to our editorial staff (aabc@abc.org.br). The e-mail should state the topics and authors of the proposed review, as well as the abstract, academy section and the justification why the topic is of particular interest to the field.
The AABC allows authors to deposit preprints of their submission in community preprint servers such as ArXiv.org and bioRxiv.org. However, the authors must updated their entries expressly acknowledging that the article has been accepted/published by AABC.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor will be subjected to editing and revision and should not contain material that has been submitted or published elsewhere. Letters in reference to an article published by the AABC should not exceed 250 words (excluding references), and must be received within four weeks after online publication of the article. Letters not related to an article published by the AABC should not exceed 500 words (excluding references). A letter can have no more than ten references and one figure or table.
Articles
Whenever possible the articles should be subdivided into the following parts: 1. Front Page; 2. Abstract (written on a separate page, 200 words or less, no abbreviations); 3. Introduction; 4. Materials and Methods; 5. Results; 6. Discussion; 7. Acknowledgments, if applicable; 8. Author Contributions (when the paper has more than one author); 9. References. 10. Figure legends, if applicable. Articles from some areas such as Mathematical Sciences should follow their usual format. In some cases, it may be advisable to omit part (4) and to merge parts (5) and (6). Whenever applicable, the Materials and Methods section should indicate the Ethics Committee that evaluated the procedures for human studies or the norms followed for the maintenance and experimental treatments of animals.
Short communications
Short communications aim to report a concise, but important contribution on research, which has progressed to the stage when it is considered that results should be publicized to other workers in the field. A short communication should also have an Abstract (100 words or less), a short introduction (up to 200 words) and should not exceed 1,500 words. Tables and Figures may be included but the text length should be proportionally reduced. This section of the AABC should contain extremely relevant contributions and competition is very high.
After the first screening, the articles will be evaluated by at least two reviewers, them being from educational and/or national and international research institutions, with proven scientific production. After due corrections and possible suggestions, the paper may be accepted or rejected, considering the reviews received.
We use the integrated Crossref Similarity Check program to detect plagiarism.
There are no APC and submission charges in the AABC.
