Guidelines for Authors
Revista ACTA Geográfica accepts submissions for the publication of previously unpublished studies in geography and related areas of study. Articles are accepted in Portuguese, English, French, Spanish or Italian, as long as they are written in the author's or authors' native language.
Revista ACTA Geográfica has four sections open for external submissions:
- articles: featuring theoretical or empirical research results
- undergraduate research: results of studies developed in undergraduate research projects, co-signed by supervising professors.
- short communication: releases about research projects currently underway, records/reports of field research or scientific gatherings
- abstracts: reviews of books, Doctorate Theses, Master's Dissertations and movies (these may contain critical evaluations).
Material sent to Revista ACTA Geográfica should follow the following guidelines pertaining to extension:
- articles: 10 to 25 pages (including bibliography)
- abstracts: 2 to 5 pages
- short communication: 3 to 9 pages
- undergraduate research: 10 to 15 pages
All material should be sent in .doc format (compatible with Microsoft Office Word 97-2003), in size 12 Times New Roman font, with 1.5 line spacing and in A4 page format. Margins: upper and lower: 2.0cm; left and right: 2.5cm. The text should be formatted into a single column. Articles must be preceded by an abstract in the language the article was written in, with a version of the abstract in a different language (English, Spanish, French or Italian). Abstracts must have a maximum length of 250 words, be single-spaced and feature a list of keywords (minimum three, maximum five). The hiring of a professional translator is recommended for the required version of the abstract in a different language (machine translations should be avoided).
The text should be divided without numeration and with subtitles (size 12 font, bold face, no tabs).
Tables and illustrations (Brazilian Association of Technical Norms - ABNT NBR 14724/December/2005), should be cited in the text and numbered according to sequence. The tables should have titles or captions above them (size 12 font, single spaced) and illustrations should have titles or captions below them (size 12 font, single spaced). Illustrations (graphs, maps, photographs and drawings, among others) should be delivered already imbedded in the body of the text, in GIF or JPG format.
References should be cited in the text by the surname(s) of the author(s), written in upper-case letters, with the date and page number, when in brackets; e.g., (FREITAS, 1993, p.76). They should be written in lower-case letters when cited in the text; e.g., According to Freitas (1993, p.76). If a single author cited has more than one publication in the same year, identify each of them with letters; e.g., (FREITAS, 1993a, p.66). Complete references (only those cited in the text) should be listed at the end of the text, left-aligned, in alphabetical order and elaborated in compliance with ABNT NBR-6023:2000.
Reference should be organized in compliance with ABNT NBR-10520:2001 and should follow the following models and examples:
- Book: SURNAME, Given names. Book Title. Publishing location: Publisher, year of publication. ?p. (total number of pages)

Quotes of less than three lines in length pertaining to the text should appear within the text itself, in the same font (not in italics) and between quotation marks. Quotes that take up more than three lines should be inserted separately from the main text, indented, without quotation marks and not in italics and in size 10 font. In both cases, the SURNAME of the author, the year and the page number should be cited.
