EDITORIAL POLICY – CODE OF ETHICS AND GOOD PRACTICES

The Aurora journal has a code of ethics for publication that follows the standards of good practice of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics):

a) Publication Decision: the decision may rely on the decision of the other editors and, necessarily, on double-review and blind-review processes;

b) Fair Play: the scientific/intellectual content makes no distinction of any kind between authors or their political positioning;

c) Confidentiality: the Journal does not disclose any of the authors' data, preserving their records, except when authorized by the author;

d) Conflicts of interest: editors, reviewers, and authors should not comment when there is a conflict of interest with the Journal. Aurora does not admit insider or false information, plagiarism, and practices that violate the previous assumptions or the civil/penal legislation effective in Brazil.

SUMMARY AND ABSTRACT

The abstract is the synthesized presentation of the text's main points, highlighting the author's considerations, using a minimum of 250 words (maximum of 300 words). The corresponding abstract must be compatible with the text of the abstract. Keywords in the original language and their corresponding Keywords are descriptors that identify the article's content. The number of descriptors should be a minimum of three and a maximum of five.

THE BODY OF THE TEXT

Texts accepted by the Aurora Journal of Philosophy fall into the categories of Articles or Reviews. Articles can be research reports, theoretical studies, and critical literature reviews, all related to philosophy. The reviews are critical appreciations of basic texts in the area of philosophy. We suggest the analysis of texts already published by AURORA.

Introduction:
It should point out the purpose of the study concisely and describe the advances achieved with the research. Research reports should use the Introduction to present the contextualization of the problem using a literature review. The Introduction should not include data or conclusions from the work in question.

Development:
The main part of the text containing an organized and detailed exposition of the subject. It is divided into sections and subsections, which vary according to the approach to the topic and the method. Research reports are required to present the research problem, the methodology used, and the discussion of the results. Theoretical studies and critical literature reviews should use the Development section for citations and analysis of the theoretical and bibliographical references.

Concluding remarks:
These should be limited to the purpose of the analyses carried out, relating them to existing knowledge. Use citations only when they are essential to support the study.

Acknowledgments:
They should be short and concise as well as pertinent.

References: 
Only citations that appear in the text should be referenced. Work accepted for publication must be cited with the expression "in the press," unpublished data must be accompanied by the expression "unpublished observations"; in this case, a letter from the author must be provided. References at the end of the paper should be arranged and presented in alphabetical order according to the first author's last name. When preparing references, the ABNT standard should be used.

Quotations and References

QUOTATIONS

References must be cited in the text by the AUTHOR (date) system according to ABNT. Example:

• When authors are part of the text:

According to Freitas (2002);

• Two authors example:

According to Junqueira and Souza (2002);

• More than three authors, example:

To Prado et al. (2002).

• When authors are not part of the text:

With Gutenberg's invention of movable types, information became popular (BUFREN, 1997).

• Citation of citation:

For Matos (1990, p. 12) apud Bill (1998, p. 52).

*Important: This last model of quotation citation should be avoided as much as possible.

Citations up to 3 lines long should be within the text in double quotation marks; Citations longer than 3 lines should be indented.

FOOTNOTES

The footnotes should be explanatory, complement the subject at hand, be located in the lower margin of the same page where the call number received in the text occurs, and should be in Arabic numerals.
