Psicologia Escolar e Educacional (Educational and School Psychology) adopts the standards of APA (4th edition, 1994), except in situations in which such norms are in conflict with the necessity of ensuring blind revision by peers, usage rules of the Portuguese language, ABNT general standards and internal procedures of the journal, including operational infrastructure characteristics. In case of omission of the following detailing information, the orientation of APA shall prevail.

The original manuscripts must be submitted in four hardcopies and an electronic copy on disk, written with double spacing, with Times New Roman typeface, size 12, and must not exceed the number of pages prescribed for the category in which the paper is inserted. The paper must be numbered on every page, starting on the identified face sheet, which must be numbered as “page 1”. The size of the pages must be letter or A4, with margins, both superior and inferior (2,5 cm minimum), and left and right (3 cm minimum).

In case of reformulation of a text, the new version will be submitted in three hardcopies, as well as an electronic copy in disk, in the same format as above indicated for the first version. A letter signed by the authors must accompany all and every submission to the journal, in which the intention of submission or resubmission, of the paper in question, for publication must be clearly stated. Furthermore, the authors must take full responsibility over all ethical procedures necessary when conducting research with human beings, as well as grant Educational and School Psychology full copyright rights over the article, if published.

2.9 Complete postal address and electronic address of all authors.

3. Abstract sheet, in Portuguese.
The abstract must contain a maximum of 150 words for papers that fall under the category of Articles. The 3 to 5 keywords used for indexation of the paper must follow the abstract. Such words must be chosen in order to classify the paper with a reasonable degree of precision, and permit that it is retrieved among similar papers, and which any researcher, conducting bibliographical investigation, would likely evoke. In the case of research report, the abstract must contain: summarized description of the object of study, pertinent characteristics of the sample, method used for data collection, results and conclusions, its implications or applications. The abstract of a critical review or a theoretical study must include the topic in question (in one sentence), objective, thesis or construct under analysis or the organizer of the study, sources used (e.g. Observation conducted by the author, published literature) and conclusions.

4. Abstract sheet, in English, compatible with the Portuguese version. . Abstract in English must obey the same specifications of the Portuguese version, and be followed by the keywords, compatible with the keywords in Portuguese.

5. Text. In all categories of original work, the text must be organized in order to ensure easy recognition, signalized by a system of titles and subtitles, which reflect such organization. In the case of research reports, the text must necessarily include: introduction, methodology, results and discussion. The non-bibliographical notes must be limited to a minimum, and be displayed at the foot of each page, numbered in Arabic digits, which must be displayed immediately after the text segment to which they refer. The suggested places for the insertion of pictures and tables must be indicated in the text. Citations of authors must be done according to APA guidelines, as exemplified in the end of this text. In the case of an integral transcription of a text, such transcription must be indicated by quotation marks, and the citation of the author followed by the number of the page being quoted. Any literal quotation, which is comprised of 40 words or more, must be presented in a separate block, on a new line, with indentation of 5 spaces from the margin, in the same position as a new paragraph. The size of the typeface must be 12, as in the remainder of the text.

6. References, listed in order according to the following general rules. Papers of a single author and of the same author should be listed in order of publication date, with the oldest one first. Papers of single authorship will precede the ones with multiple authors, when the surname is the same. Papers in which the first author is the same, but co-authors are different, should be listed by co-author surname. Papers with the same multiple authorship will be listed by date, with the oldest one first. Papers with the identical author and date will be listed alphabetically by title, disregarding the first word in case it is a pronoun or article, except when the title itself indicates the order; the year will immediately follow by lowercase. Whenever repeated, the name o the author must not be substituted by a dash or any other signals. The format of the reference list must be appropriated to the task of revising and editing – besides double spacing and typeface size 12, standard paragraph with indentation only on the first line, without dislocation of the margins; stress must be indicated by underlining the word (e.g., underline). The format of the paragraphs with indentation and stress in italics is reserved for the final phase of article editing.

7. Appendices, only when containing original important information, or essential for the comprehension of any part of the paper. We strongly recommend avoiding annexes.

8. Exhibits, including captions, one per hard copy page, at the end of the paper. In order to ensure the quality of reproduction, the exhibits containing drawings must be submitted with photographic quality; pictures, which contain graphics, must not be printed with impact printers. As the published version may not exceed 8,3 cm in width for plain, and 17,5 cm for complex pictures, the author must ensure that the captions will maintain reading quality, in case resizing becomes necessary.

9. Tables, including title and notes, one per hardcopy page and in electronic file. In the printed version, tables must not exceed 17,5 cm in width x 23,7 cm in length. When preparing such tables, the author must limit their width to 60 characters, for plain tables, which are to occupy one printed column, including a space of 3 characters between columns in the table, and for complex tables, limit to 125 characters, which are to occupy two printed columns. Table length must not exceed 55 lines, including the title and footnote (s). For any other details, especially in anomalous cases, the APA manual should be consulted.
