The Revista Brasileira de Linguística Aplicada (Brazilian Journal of Applied Linguistics) was created in 2001, initially as a semiannual, printed journal of the Graduate Program in Linguistic Studies at the Faculty of Letters of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. In 2010, the publication became quarterly. In 2015, the print format was discontinued and the journal became exclusively electronic, in accordance with open access policies. In 2023, the journal adopted a continuous publication model while maintaining four issues per year. In 2025, it started following research communication in the Open Science modus operandi.

RBLA has the mission of promoting research in the field of Applied Linguistics, publishing original papers that report on the many phenomena related to real-life language issues, language learning, or language use in diverse contexts. Articles that understand Applied Linguistics as mere application of linguistic theories are not accepted by the journal. It is currently directed by Prof. Junot de Oliveira Maia (UFMG).

RBLA was classified as A1 in the 2021–2024 quadrennium of Qualis Periódicos (CAPES).

RBLA follows the Open Access model, allowing virtual access without restrictions (including financial) to all scientific texts published by the journal.

Open Access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties through an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, research, or link articles in full, track them for indexing, transmit them as data to software, or use them for any other legal purpose, provided that the original work is properly cited.

RBLA follows the Diamond Open Access model and the research communication in the Open Science modus operandi. When submitting their contributions, authors are required to complete and send the Open Science Compliance Form.

RBLA relies on the Code of Conduct and Best Practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and on the “Guide to Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publishing” of the SciELO Network to guide the conduct of editors, reviewers, and authors. The journal does not accept unethical behavior of any kind and does not tolerate any form of plagiarism.

The journal follows the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) regarding the criteria that constitute authorship, namely: “1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work […]; 2. Drafting the work or reviewing it critically for important intellectual content; […] 4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved” (ICMJE, “Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals”, 2025, p. 2).

EDITOR DUTIES

Decision of publication: the editors are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published, guided by the reviews issued by the peer reviewers and by the policies established by the journal’s Editorial Board and Editor-in-Chief. These policies must comply with current legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. For decision-making, the editors may confer with the Editorial Board.

Transparency and respect: editors must evaluate submitted manuscripts without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality: the editor and other members of the editorial team must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript, except to reviewers and Editorial Board members.

Disclosure and conflict of interest: editors must not use unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript in their own research without the author’s explicit and written consent. Editors must recuse themselves from evaluating manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest due to competitive or collaborative issues, as well as other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions associated with the manuscripts.

Involvement and cooperation in investigations: editors must take appropriate and necessary measures when presented with ethical complaints regarding a submitted manuscript or published article.

REVIEWER DUTIES

Contribution to editorial decisions: reviewers’ assessment assist the editor in making editorial decisions and, through communication with the author, can help improve the article.

Punctuality: any reviewer who does not feel qualified to analyze the article or knows that an immediate review will not be possible must notify the editor immediately.

Confidentiality: works received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shared or discussed with others.

Objectivity standards: reviews must be conducted objectively. Reviewers must express their viewpoints clearly and support them with arguments.

Regarding sources: reviewers must identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. The reviewer must bring to the editor’s attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript in question and any other published article they are aware of.

Disclosure and conflict of interest: privileged information or ideas obtained by the reviewer through reading the manuscripts should be kept confidential and should not be used for personal gain. The reviewer must not review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest due to competitive or collaborative issues, as well as other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the manuscripts.

Regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI tools are legitimate for assisting in the preparation of reviews, but reviewers must be aware that they assume full responsibility for their use. Therefore, they must be extremely attentive to the content and judgements contained in their reviews. Naturally, to safeguard the authors’ rights and the originality of their manuscripts, any excerpt from the text submitted for review, however short, should not be copied into the AI used. Generally, AI should only serve as support for proofreading the review or organizing the reviewer’s own ideas. If used in this way, it is essential that the reviewer indicates in their evaluation which AI was employed and for what purpose.

AUTHOR DUTIES

General guidelines: authors of papers reporting original research must present an accurate account of the work done, as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Complementary data must be presented accurately in the article. The document must contain sufficient details and references to allow others to understand and evaluate the relevance of the work. Fraudulent or intentionally imprecise declarations constitute unethical conduct and are unacceptable.

Originality and plagiarism: authors must ensure their work is entirely original and, if they use the work and/or text of others, that they are properly cited. Plagiarism, in all its forms, constitutes unethical editorial conduct and is unacceptable, including those who engage in the practice of self-plagiarism.

Multiple, redundant, and simultaneous publication: an author should not publish manuscripts that describe essentially the same research in more than one journal. Sending the same manuscript to more than one journal at a time and/or publishing the same article in more than one journal constitutes unethical editorial conduct and is unacceptable.

Regarding sources: the work of other authors must always be acknowledged. Authors should cite the publications that were important in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained in private, such as in a conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or reported without the explicit written permission of the source. Information obtained through confidential services, such as manuscript arbitration or grant applications, should not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.

Authorship: authorship of the work is restricted to those who made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who made significant contributions should be listed as coauthors. People who participated in certain aspects of the research project should be listed as collaborators. The lead author must guarantee that all coauthors are included in the article. The lead author must also ensure that all coauthors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and have agreed with its submission for publication.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest: all authors must disclose in the manuscript any conflict, financial or of another nature, that may influence the results or interpretation of the text. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published work: when an author finds a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is their obligation to immediately inform the journal editor or Editorial team and cooperate with the editor to correct the article.

DUTIES OF THE EDITORIAL TEAM
We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprinting, or any other source of commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions.

Our articles are peer-reviewed to ensure the quality of scientific publication.

RBLA focuses on promoting research in the field of Applied Linguistics through the publication of original articles that address the phenomena related to real-life language use. Its work ranges from reflections on language teaching and learning to contemporary social issues where language occupies a central role. We emphasize that articles that understand Applied Linguistics as mere application of linguistic theories are not accepted by the journal, nor are those that restrict their discussion to the field of education without considering aspects inherent to the field of language. Interviews are accepted, provided they contain bibliographic references and a document authorizing the disclosure of the piece by the interviewee.

RBLA follows the standards defined in the SciELO Program Digital Preservation Policy.

The journal is preserved by the UFMG Periodicals Portal, which, hosted on the Open Journal System, uses the LOCKSS system, allowing the participating journals to create permanent publication archives for preservation and restauration.

The Revista Brasileira de Linguística Aplicada accepts submissions of preprints from the following servers: SciELO Preprints, arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv. The acceptance of preprints from other servers will be reviewed by the journal’s editors.

A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready to be submitted to a journal, which is deposited in trusted preprint servers before or in parallel with submission to a journal.

The use of preprints is an option and choice of the authors. This condition must be communicated at the time of submission, without any detriment to the contribution.

The submitted work is first evaluated by the team of editorial assistants, composed of doctoral students in the field affiliated with different Applied Linguistics graduate programs in Brazil and abroad. In this initial stage, the assessment focuses on determining whether the article should proceed to peer review, considering its adherence to the journal’s guidelines, as well as to its focus and scope. Notably, this is the moment when any possibility of plagiarism related to the article is investigated, either through software verification or through individual investigation by the assistants.

Once approved, the articles are sent to two peer reviewers. In case of divergence in the reviews, the editor responsible for the text has the autonomy to make the decision they deem coherent, which may range from requesting a third review to deciding on approval or rejection based on the reviews received. Therefore, it will be up to the editor-in-chief or the associate editors to deliberate on the approval, rejection, or request for modifications to the manuscript. Copies of the reviews will be forwarded to the authors, with instructions for adjustments to the work, if necessary.

Works that do not fit the journal’s guidelines and policies or have pending mandatory documents will be returned to the authors before they can be considered for peer review.

Data and concepts presented in the papers, as well as their accuracy and that of the references, are the sole responsibility of the authors.

Double-blind peer review is adopted for all contributions, including preprints. The peer review will be open when, and only when, the author(s) and reviewers express their desire to do so. To this end, the author(s) must indicate their agreement in the Open Science Compliance Form (Supplementary Document WITHOUT WHICH THE ARTICLE WILL NOT BE EVALUATED). The reviewer, in turn, must indicate their choice in the review form. The final version of the article, published by the journal, contains the name of the editor responsible for the peer review.

RBLA encourages its authors to make all content (data, program codes, and other materials) underlying the manuscript available in a data repository, before or at the time of publication. Exceptions are allowed in cases involving legal and ethical issues.

Information regarding the availability (or non-availability) of the content underlying the contribution must be included in the Open Science Compliance Form (a document to be completed and attached as a supplementary file at the time of submission, WITHOUT WHICH THE ARTICLE WILL NOT BE EVALUATED).

For more information on the availability of research data, see the “Guide to promoting the opening, transparency and reproducibility of research published by SciELO journals”.

For guidance on how to cite research data and repositories, access the “Guidelines for research data citation”.

For a list of the repositories recommended by SciELO, access the “List of repositories for research data deposit”.

RBLA does not charge its authors any fees for the submission, processing, or publication of their contributions.

At the time of submission to RBLA, authors must declare that the contribution is original and has not been published, fully or partially, in any other medium, whether print or electronic, even in another language; nor has it been submitted to another journal simultaneously for review. The authors also commit to informing the journal when they detect any error or inaccuracy in their paper, at any stage of its processing or after its publication, and to collaborating with the editors to make the appropriate correction or retraction to the text, when necessary.

In the case of coauthored work, authors must send the supplementary document signed or with digital confirmation, declaring each author’s responsibility for the content, according to the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Brazilian Copyright Law (Law No. 9,610, of February 19, 1998, art. 15, § 1). RBLA considers as authors those who significantly contributed to research development, data interpretation, and preparation of the text. All collaborators who do not meet these criteria, including master’s, doctoral and postdoctoral supervisors, should not be included as authors and may instead be mentioned in the “Acknowledgments” section.

Authors must have authorization from the research participants to disclose the produced data, even if anonymity is guaranteed.

Authors must observe CNS Resolution No. 674/2022 regarding whether there is a need for assessment through the CEP/Conep System. Studies that directly or indirectly involve human beings and do not fall under the exemption cases foreseen in art. 26 of the aforementioned Resolution must present, at the time of submission, the approval from the Research Ethics Committee (Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa – CEP), including the CAAE number, or from other equivalent research ethics institutions. Exceptional cases, duly informed and justified by the authors, will be assessed by the journal’s Editorial Board.

The articles resulting from dissertations and theses must explicitly indicate this condition so as not to constitute self-plagiarism.

Written and oral papers by other authors, whether published or not, must be cited and referenced according to the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT).

EDITORS’ AND REVIEWERS’ ETHICAL COMMITMENTS

Editors and reviewers commit to reviewing the articles submitted to the journal in an ethical and objective manner and for its intellectual content, without discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, geographical origin, or political thought.

They also commit to handling the submissions to which they have access confidentially, not disclosing their content or data, either fully or partially, in any way, prior to publication. The papers will only be subject to evaluation or discussion with third parties with the express authorization of the journal’s editor-in-chief.

If the reviewer identifies that the submitted work presents important content that has been previously published – by the author or by third parties −, whether statements, arguments, or reproduction of excerpts, they must inform the editors directly, and the authors must arrange for that content to be adequately referenced according to ABNT standards. When there is substantial similarity or indication that the article under review has already been published in another journal, the reviewers must inform the editors that the article breaches the journal’s ethical principles.

Any deviations or other cases not foreseen in this declaration must be reported to the journal’s editor-in-chief, who will take the necessary measures to resolve the issue presented, based on the COPE guidelines and the “Guide to Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publishing” of the SciELO Network.

To ensure the integrity of its content, RBLA publishes Errata, Addenda, and Retractions, according to the case presented and based on the following documents prepared by the SciELO Network:

• Guide for the registration, markup, and publication of Erratum
• Guide for the registration, markup, and publication of Retraction
• Guide for the registration, markup, and publication of Addendum

RBLA follows the guidelines of the “Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest”, by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), regarding conflicts of interest.

Conflicts of interest can be of a personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial nature. They can occur when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or review of manuscripts.

If there are, even potentially, conflicts of interest that may have influenced the work, the author(s) must report them in a signed supplementary document at the time of submission. If the manuscript is approved, the declaration of conflict of interest will be published at the end.

It is the duty of the reviewers and editors involved in the review process to declare any conflict of interest related to the manuscript or its authors. Reviewers must decline to review manuscripts if they identify, even potentially, a conflict of interest regarding the work or its authors. Reviewers must not disclose data from the manuscripts prior to their publication.

RBLA submits all received manuscripts to a similarity check through the Check for Plagiarism software, in a step that precedes peer review. The journal does not tolerate any form of plagiarism. Articles originating from dissertations and theses must explicitly indicate this condition so as not to constitute self-plagiarism.

If a submitted article is proven to be plagiarized, the submission will be immediately rejected. Under no circumstances will RBLA accept articles that have been previously published on other platforms, except in the case of preprints, as mentioned in this declaration.

RBLA does not recognize the authorship of texts generated through artificial intelligence tools and may use resources such as ZeroGPT to try to identify such occurrences. AI tools may, however, be used ethically, as support for improving writing; as a resource for copyediting or standardization; as an aid in the creation of illustrations, graphs, tables, and charts, among other similar uses. RBLA does not recommend the use of AI for analysis or reflections, which must be carried out by the authors.

Authors must report in the manuscript any and all use of AI and will be fully responsible for the content presented. For this purpose, they must follow the “Guide to the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources” of the SciELO Network.

According to the CNPQ’s Policy on Integrity in Scientific Activity, the authors must also send, at the time of submission, a supplementary document declaring whether and how AI resources were employed in the preparation and execution of the work.

The editorial team of RBLA, as well as the authors who publish in the journal, must always observe the Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER guidelines in the case of experimental/quantitative research. The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines that orient the reporting of information on sex and gender in the study design, data analysis, results, and interpretation of findings. In addition, RBLA observes the gender equity policy in the composition of its board of reviewers.

Authors must observe CNS Resolution No. 674/2022 regarding whether there is a need for assessment through the CEP/Conep System. Studies that directly or indirectly involve human beings and do not fall under the exemption cases foreseen in art. 26 of the aforementioned Resolution must present, at the time of submission, the analysis from the Research Ethics Committee (Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa – CEP), including the CAAE number, or from other equivalent research ethics institutions. Exceptional cases, duly informed and justified by the authors, will be analyzed by the journal’s Editorial Board.

1. The Revista Brasileira de Linguística Aplicada follows Open Science modus operandi for research communication, and accepts submissions in Portuguese, English, and Spanish that address the many phenomena related to real-life language, language learning, or language use in diverse contexts. The journal preferably publishes scientific articles and/or academic essays, but it also accepts interviews in the standards defined by the Editorial Board.
2. Submissions that do not include the complete supplementary documentation will not proceed to the pre-assessment. The necessary supplementary documents are mentioned in the next section.
3. RBLA accepts the submission of preprints from the following servers: SciELO Preprints, arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv. The acceptance of preprints from other servers will be assessed by the journal’s editors. The use of preprints is an option and choice of the authors. This condition, as well as the access link to the preprint version, must be communicated at the time of submission, without any detriment to the contribution.
4. RBLA accepts manuscripts resulting from master’s or doctoral research, and authors must disclose this condition at the time of submission. However, merely transcribed excerpts that do not constitute a new perspective on the phenomenon studied will not be accepted. The research supervisor should not be included among the authors of the paper but may be mentioned in the “Acknowledgements” section.
5. RBLA will only accept a new submission from an author or group of authors one year after their last submission. In addition, the minimum interval for an author to publish a new article in the journal is two years after their last publication.
6. Priority will be given to the publication of articles that present research findings and make new contributions to the field of Applied Linguistics. The journal does not publish experience reports that do not fit the model of a scientific article.
7. The content of the articles is the responsibility of the authors. The editors assume no responsibility for the authors’ opinions and statements.

Authors must disclose the availability of the data used and generated in the research through the completion of the Open Science Compliance Form, which must be attached to the submission. Authors are encouraged to make all content (data, program codes, and other materials) underlying the manuscript available before or at the time of publication. Exceptions are allowed in cases involving legal and ethical issues. The goal is to facilitate the review of the manuscript and, if approved, to contribute to the preservation and reuse of content and the reproducibility of research, depending on the case.

1. Authors must send the supplementary document signed or with digital confirmation, declaring each author’s responsibility for the content. According to the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Brazilian Copyright Law (Law No. 9,610, of February 19, 1998, art. 15, § 1), RBLA considers as authors those who significantly contributed to research development, data interpretation, and preparation of the text. All collaborators who do not meet these criteria, including master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral supervisors, should not be included as authors and may instead be mentioned in the “Acknowledgments” section.
2. In the case of coauthored manuscripts, all authors must be indicated on the submission registration page by the author responsible for the submission.

1. RBLA accepts two types of manuscripts: articles and interviews. Contributions must be submitted with the following structure:

Articles

• Title in Portuguese;
• Title in English (when the contribution is written in English, it must include the title in Portuguese);
• Abstract of 150 to 250 words, in Portuguese and English;
• Keywords in both languages, with 3 to 5 words;
• Text;
• Acknowledgments (optional);
• Funding (mandatory for funded research);
• List of references;
• The articles should be between 7,000 and 10,000 words in length (including references, notes, illustrations, and potential annexes);
• For articles written in Spanish, include title, abstract, and keywords in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

Interviews

• Title in the language of the text and in English (when the interview is in English, it should include the title in Portuguese);
• Text;
• Acknowledgments (optional);
• Funding (mandatory for funded research);
• List of references (interviews must include references in order to be accepted);
• For interviews in Spanish, include title in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

2. For all types of manuscripts, the following data are mandatory and must be included in the submission form:

• Name(s) of the author(s);
• Institution / Affiliation of the author(s), in the following format: Full Institution Name (Institution Abbreviation), City, State/State Abbreviation, Country;
• Valid emails of the author(s) for contact;
• ORCID IDs of all authors (if the author is not registered in this database, it is possible to do so at https://orcid.org/register. After registration, the unique identifier number will be available in URL format);
• Funding agencies, if applicable;
• Supplementary documents (see specific section ahead).

3. Contributions must be in Times New Roman font, size 12, with sections and subsections numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals, without punctuation between the number and the title. Section titles should not be indented;
4. The footnote must be reserved for explanatory notes. Citation callouts should be in the body of the text, following the ABNT author-date format;
5. Acknowledgment notes should be at the end of the text, in a separate section titled “Acknowledgments”. In this section, the name of the supervisor of the work may be cited, but they may not be listed as a coauthor. If it is necessary to partially omit the information to guarantee the anonymity of the submission, the complete note must be submitted in a supplementary file;
6. Funding notes should come at the end of the text, in a separate section titled “Funding”. This section is only mandatory for research that receives financial support. If it is necessary to partially omit the information to guarantee the anonymity of the submission, the complete note must be sent in a supplementary file;
7. The work must be submitted anonymously, without any references that could identify the author(s). If the author(s)’ papers are cited, all such references must be replaced by “XXX” in the list of references and the body of the text. The complete list must be sent in a supplementary document.

1. Illustrations, such as tables, charts, figures, diagrams, and other digital assets included in the documents, must have a resolution of at least 150 dpi.
2. Illustrations must be followed by titles numbered with Arabic numerals, as well as their source (even when they are original to the work). The title must be above the illustration and the source below it, following the ABNT format (NBR 6022, 2018).
3. It is recommended to also send illustrations separately to avoid loss of resolution. The location of the illustrations should be indicated in the text.

Citations and references must follow ABNT standards (NBR 10520, 2023; NBR 6023, 2018), whose basic guidelines are:

Citations

1. Quotations with up to three lines must appear within quotation marks in the text.
2. Quotations with more than three lines should appear in a separate paragraph, indented 4 cm from the left margin, justified, and in size 10 font.
3. Quotations in other languages should be translated in the body of the text, and the source text should be added as a footnote. The author of the translations must be informed after the quotation’s page, following the guidelines of NBR 10520 (2023) – attention must be given to the translation of terminology.
4. Author interventions (alterations, additions) in the direct quotation must be indicated by brackets (see the third example in item 8 below).
5. Omissions in direct quotations should be indicated by ellipses within brackets: […] (see the third example of item 8 below).
6. The expressions idem, ibidem, op. cit., and loc. cit. must not be used.
7. The period must be used to end the sentence and not the citation.
8. Reference notes: these are notes that indicate the sources of the cited work or refer to other parts of the text itself. They must follow the ABNT (NBR 10520, 2023) author-date system, whose basic guidelines are:

• Indirect citation preceded by mention of the author: the author’s last name must appear in upper and lowercase, followed by the year in parentheses (indicating the page is optional):
  EXAMPLE: According to Elia (1979), Bopp laid the foundations for the identification of kinship between languages.
   
• Indirect citation without previous mention of the author: the author’s last name in upper and lowercase and the year must be enclosed in parentheses after the citation. Indicating the page is optional.
  EXAMPLE: It is now known that the thesis that Vulgar Latin was homogenous cannot be sustained (Elia, 1979, p. 42).
   
• Direct citation preceded by mention of the author: the author’s last name must appear in upper and lowercase, followed by the year and page number in parentheses. Indicating the page is mandatory:
  EXAMPLE: As Elia (1979, p. 5) reminds us, “[one] of the method’s most important results was the genealogical classification of languages, according to which a group of languages is traced back to a common ancestor […] of which they are phases or differentiations”.
   
• Direct citation without prior mention of the author: the author’s last name must appear in upper and lowercase, followed by the year and page number in parentheses, after the quotation. Indicating the page is mandatory:
  EXAMPLE: “[The] languages of conquering peoples that influence the language of conquered peoples without, however, absorbing it” (Elia, 1979, p. 110) are called superstrata.
   
• Citations of sources with four or more authors: all authors may be listed, or only the first author followed by et al. In both cases, all authors must be listed in the references. Whichever format is adopted, all citations in the document should be standardized.
  EXAMPLE: According to Maciel et al. (2019, p. 163), “the sample is not representative of the women who engage in physical activity in Brasília-DF; it is a convenience sample. In the scientific literature, studies focused on the investigated age group are scarce”.
  EXAMPLE: According to Maciel, Brum, Del Bianco, and Costa (2019, p. 163), “the sample is not representative of the women who engage in physical activity in Brasília-DF; it is a convenience sample. In the scientific literature, studies focused on the investigated age group are scarce”.

ATTENTION:

a) in the references, indicate the title, additions to the title (edition number, preface, translation, notes on re-edition), and city of publication, always in the language of the publication being referenced;
b) links must remain active.

Authors must pay attention to the following supplementary documents their work may require (some are mandatory, and the submission will not be accepted without them):

• Open Science Compliance Form (mandatory document for all submissions);
• Statement from the Research Ethics Committee: if the contribution involves research with human beings, it will be mandatory to submit the statement from the Research Ethics Committee (Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa − CEP), including the CAAE number, or from other equivalent research ethics institutions. Authors must observe CNS Resolution No. 674/2022 regarding whether there is a need for assessment through the CEP/Conep System. Exceptional cases must be reported to the journal’s Editorial Board for appropriate handling.
• Declaration of the authors’ specific contribution: if the work is coauthored, it will be mandatory to attach a signed document declaring each author’s specific contribution to the preparation of the manuscript.
• Declaration of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) resources: according to the CNPQ’s Policy on Integrity in Scientific Activity, a declaration, mandatory for all submissions, reporting in detail whether or not artificial intelligence resources were used in the work and, if so, how they were used. A template of this declaration is available at Annex I of Resolution 1/2025 of the Anpoll Editors Forum;
• Complete list of references: if previous papers by the author(s) have been cited, a supplementary document must be sent with the list of references to their own works that have been omitted from the submission to preserve anonymity.
• For interviews: a mandatory declaration signed by the interviewee authorizing the use/editing/publication of the interview by RBLA.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Resources

1. RBLA does not recognize the authorship of texts generated through artificial intelligence tools. AI tools may, however, be used ethically, as support for improving writing; as a resource for copyediting or standardization; as an aid in the creation of illustrations, graphs, tables, and charts, among other similar uses. RBLA does not recommend the use of AI for analysis or reflections, which must be carried out by the authors.
2. Authors must report in the manuscript any and all use of AI and will be fully responsible for the content presented. For this purpose, they must follow the “Guide to the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources” of the SciELO Network.
3. To comply with the CNPQ’s Policy on Integrity in Scientific Activity, we recommend reading Annex I of Resolution 1/2025 of the Anpoll Editors Forum, which contains a model declaration on the use of artificial intelligence resources accepted as part of the submission.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) resources in the peer review process

1. AI tools are legitimate for assisting in the preparation of reviews, but reviewers must be aware that they assume full responsibility for their use.
2. Reviewers must be extremely attentive to the content and judgments contained in their reviews.
3. According to the CNPQ’s Policy on Integrity in Scientific Activity, to safeguard the authors’ rights and the originality of their manuscripts, any excerpt from the text submitted for review, however short, should not be copied into the AI used.
4. AI should only serve as support for proofreading the review or organizing the reviewer’s own ideas. If used in this way, it is essential that the reviewer indicates in their review which AI was employed and for what purpose through a simple declaration of ethical commitment.

Submission of Manuscripts

Texts must be submitted through the journal’s page in the UFMG Periodicals Portal, available at https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rbla. Manuscripts submitted by other means will not be accepted.
