Author Guidelines

Guidelines for Authors

In the submission process, authors must pay attention and consider all items listed in conditions for submission. Submissions that do not comply with the guidelines will be immediately rejected.

During the submission process, authors are required to carefully review and adhere to all the items listed in the conditions for submission. Submissions that do not comply with the guidelines will be promptly rejected.

Statement of consent and author contributions: the statement of consent must be attached at the time of submission and its presentation is a mandatory item for processing the article. It should contain the names of all authors, affiliation, and an individual description of the contribution of each author in the elaboration of the research. To add the contribution of each author, the CAB follows the taxonomy indicated by CRedit (Taxonomy of Contributor Roles) which includes 14 categories that are normally performed for academic scientific production (https://credit.niso.org). See the declaration model through the link here.

Ethics committee: For research involving animals, the certification of approval from the Ethics Committee on Animal Use (CEUA) must be attached at the time of submission. Similarly, studies involving the administration of questionnaires to humans require certification of approval from the Ethics Committee in Research with Human Beings (CEP). The approval number should also be included in the body of the text (material and Methods). Failure to provide the required ethical approval certificate will result in immediate rejection of the article.

Plagiarism detection: All articles submitted to the CAB journal undergo a plagiarism check using a plagiarism detection tool (iThenticate). Any articles that are rejected based on the plagiarism analysis will be thoroughly reviewed by the editorial team, and if plagiarism is confirmed, the article will be summarily rejected.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING THE ARTICLE:

File format and text writing: Submissions must be in editable formats such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or RTF, with a maximum file size of 4MB. The text should be written in Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.5 line spacing. The document should be formatted in A4 size, with 2.5 cm margins on all sides. Pages and lines must be numbered continuously.

The submitted article can be written in English or Portuguese. As the CAB journal follows a bilingual publication model, authors should be aware that if their article is approved for publication, it will be necessary to provide the text in the other language as well.

For articles written in Portuguese, linguistic revision will be conducted by the editorial team of the UFG journal portal. However, for articles written in English, authors are responsible for the translation and/or linguistic revision and must provide a certificate issued by an authorized company. Foreign authors may be exempt from presenting an English language review certificate at the discretion of the editorial team, and the presentation of the Portuguese language version is optional.

Authors are requested to wait for acceptance before initiating the linguistic review/translation process and obtaining the certificate. We recommend using one of the companies or self-employed professionals indicated by CAB, as listed here.

Authors: The names of the author(s) and institutional affiliation(s) should not appear in the text file submitted to ensure double-blind peer review and maintain confidentiality according to CAB criteria.

Number of pages: For complete research articles, it is suggested to limit the maximum number of pages to 20 (in the submitted file). There is no specific page limit for literature reviews.

Abstract: The article must include an abstract written in both English and Portuguese, containing the same content, ensuring clarity and conciseness. The abstract should have a minimum of 180 and a maximum of 250 words. The Abstract/Resumo (in Portuguese) should be written in Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.0 line spacing.

Keywords: Provide a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 keywords separated by semicolons, in both English and Portuguese. Avoid using elements already present in the title.

Graphical abstract: CAB strongly recommends that authors create a graphical/visual abstract of their article. The graphical abstract should be submitted along with the article, placed immediately after the Abstract/Resumo (text). It should present the main conclusions of the article in a clear, self-explanatory, and visual manner, providing readers with a quick understanding of the article's message. Avoid using graphics or results that will be presented in the main text. Arrange the information linearly and in a clockwise manner. The graphical abstract should not be numbered.

Figures, graphs, tables, and equations: Figures, graphs, tables, and equations must be inserted in the body of the text immediately after being cited. Do not include them at the end of the text. Tables should be inserted in an editable format, not as image files (e.g. jpeg or tiff). If there are extensive tables, they can be included as supplementary material. Equations should be entered in an editable format using the equation editor.

Supplementary material (if applicable)

Extensive tables, additional images, and research data that the authors deem important to the study, but that are too extensive to include in the published version, may be included as supplemental material. Supplementary Material must be submitted separately at the time of submission and will be published together with the online version of the article. The identification in the supplementary material file must begin with the title of the article (Supplementary Material to Article XXX). Tables and figures must be identified as follows: Table S1, Table S2, etc., Figure S1, Figure S2, etc. In addition, a list of this material must be presented at the end of the manuscript text file, containing the following statement:

Supplementary material

Table S1 – < Short title >

Figure S1 – <Short title >

Statement of conflict of interest

Authors must inform if there was any conflict of a personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial nature or of any other nature that may have influenced their work. If not applicable, the authors must state: “The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.”

Data availability

Reference should be made to the availability of detailed data, materials used for reported studies, and links to data repositories if applicable should be indicated. Authors must state: “Data will be available upon request.”

Author contribution

This item will only be included in the text if the article is accepted for publication. The contributions of each author must be included in the statement of consent, which must be attached in a separate file at the time of submission. It should contain the names of all authors, affiliation, and an individual description of the contribution of each author in the development of the study.

Important notes:

The following should not be used as references: simple or expanded abstracts and complete works in annals of events.

We ask that you not use dissertations or theses as references. However, if essential and when there is no respective scientific article published in a journal, it must refer to the defense that took place in the last two years. This type of reference must mandatorily present the link that refers to the CAPES national register of theses and the local databases of the universities that publish these documents in .pdf format.

We also urge you to prioritize references from journals rather than textbooks. The scientific editor may request additional information regarding the references during the article editing process. Your prompt compliance will expedite the publication process. The ease of retrieving information is crucial for effective bibliographic, technical, or electronic referencing.

Citation examples:

Citations of references in the text should be made in numerical order and presented within parentheses as superscripts.

1. Indirect citation:

• Reports of similislesion are scarce in the literature. Histopathological studies with three Loxosceles species of clinical importance,  intermedia, L. laeta, and L. recluse, showed that the venom induces vasodilation, edema, inflammatory infiltrate (mainly neutrophilic), hemorrhage, cutaneous muscle necrosis, thrombosis, and arteriolar walls degeneration^{(6, 13-15)}. It is necessary to elucidate whether the histological lesion induced by the Loxosceles similis venom is similar to that observed in other species of medical importance. Furthermore, it is important to determine the pathogenesis of the loxoscelic dermonecrotic lesion (...).

2. Direct citation:

• According to Zanetti et al.⁽¹⁷⁾ and Nowatzki et al.⁽¹⁸⁾, who studied the action of the intermedia venom in vitro on endothelial cells, the cells showed plasma membrane convolutions and chromatin condensation 18 h after the venom action.
