Manuscripts may be submitted in Portuguese, English, or Spanish and must be intended exclusively for REEUSP. Simultaneous submission of the manuscript, in whole or in part, to another journal is not permitted.

All published manuscripts will receive a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number.

Submissions must be made online through the ScholarOne system, accompanied by a letter to the Scientific Editor highlighting the advances and contributions of the text in relation to recent publications on the subject. In addition, the reasons for selecting REEUSP for submission must be stated.

All authors must associate their ORCID registration number with their ScholarOne profile and provide it at the time of submission.

Thus, when submitting the manuscript, the authors' names must be written in full, their contribution must be detailed, and they must sign and submit the Statement of Responsibility and Copyright.

REEUSP requests the completion of the Open Science Compliance Form – SciELO and the Data Availability Statement, which must be attached to the ScholarOne system as complementary files for evaluation by reviewers.

To deposit Research Data, authors must choose the repository they consider most appropriate for sharing their data and make the deposit. Several Open Access repositories are available, such as: SciELO DataUSP Scientific Data Repository, and Harvard Dataverse.

The author must inform REEUSP of the DOI number assigned to the research data and/or preprint and the name of the server where it was deposited. The material must comply with the Creative Commons license for data sharing and be cited as “Data Availability” after the “Conclusion/Final Considerations” section of the manuscript.

The approved manuscript must be reviewed by a professional suggested by REEUSP and translated into English if the original language is Portuguese or Spanish.

Manuscript Qualification Strategies

 

REEUSP adopts qualification strategies for the publication of research studies, such as those of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research (EQUATOR Network). These are resources that favor the potential for publication and its use in research references.

Below are some validated international protocols to be used according to the research design:

Clinical TrialsCONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) and identification of Clinical Trial Registries validated by the criteria established by the WHO and the ICMJE, whose addresses are available on the ICMJE website. The identification number must appear at the end of the abstract.

Observational StudiesSTROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology).

Qualitative StudiesCOREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research).

Note: Protocols for other types of studies can be found on the EQUATOR network and in the article by Larson EL, Cortazal M. Publication guidelines need widespread adoption. J Clinical Epidemiol. 2012;65:239-46. DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2011.07.008

Systematic Reviews and Meta-AnalysesPRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), for quantitative reviews, and ENTREQ (Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research), for qualitative reviews.

Scoping ReviewsPRISMA-ScR (PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews: Checklist and Explanation).
