Authors should send a letter presenting the work and explaining its main contributions, as related to the promotion of Decent Work. The letter should indicate that the manuscript has not submitted for publication elsewhere.

Articles and reviews should not exceed 25 double-spaced pages (A4 paper with margins of 3 cm, font Times New Roman size 12, pages and lines numbered sequentially), including tables and figures. The Research Notes should not exceed 12 pages, including tables and figures.

The manuscript should be typed into the Microsoft Word program and double-spaced. The main divisions of the text (e.g. Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion and Conclusions) should be in uppercase and bold. Scientific notes do not have divisions.

The title of the manuscript must reflect the content of the work and should not have subtitles, abbreviations, formulas or equations and symbols. When the language of the text is in Portuguese or Spanish, it should have the English version below.

The names of the authors and co-authors should be included in the same order in which they appear in the final work. Please do not indicate the authorship of the work in the text of the manuscript.

The Abstract must be written in English and, when applicable, in the language used in the text. It must clearly and concisely state the goal of the research, the methods used and the most relevant results and conclusions. The abstract should not exceed 250 words and should include short sentences that are related to each other. It must not contain references.

The Key Words should not repeat title words. Words must be separated by a comma and begin with lowercase letters, including the first term. The author(s) should provide 3 to 6 terms, taking into account that a term may be composed of two or more words.

The Introduction should consist of no more than two pages. It should include the rationale for conducting the work and reference the importance of the scientific problem. The information contained in the Introduction should be sufficient to clearly establish the goal of the paper. The author(s) should cite recent studies published in scientific journals, however the citation of classical works will be accepted.

In Results and Discussion, the author(s) should present the research results and discuss the relationship of the variables examined to the objectives of the study. The mere comparison of results with the data presented by other authors does not constitute a discussion of the results. Further, authors should avoid excessive speculation.

The Conclusion must answer the question addressed in the research, confirming or not the hypothesis of the work, according to the objectives. The author(s) should be aware that the conclusion is not a summary of the main results.

Only references that are strictly necessary for the understanding of the article should be cited. We recommend around 25 references to articles and scientific notes. The list of references should begin on a new page.

References in footnote or endnote will not be accepted.
