Manuscript Formatting Guidelines

The formatting guidelines are provided in the Manuscript Template. The following guidelines should be followed for formatting the manuscript:

Title: in three languages - Portuguese (primary), English (secondary), and Spanish (tertiary), maximum of 12 words each.

Authors: maximum of 4 authors. All authors must possess and provide the ORCID iD registration, as it is required by the indexers of this Journal. It is mandatory that at least one of the authors or co-authors holds a Doctorate degree.

Abstract: The abstract of the article should be written in Times New Roman font, size 11, single-spaced, justified, without paragraph indentation, containing 100 to 250 words.

Keywords: 3 to 5 keywords.

1. INTRODUCTION (Should start on the second page)

The Introduction serves to present the research topic, the problem to be discussed, the justification, and the objective(s) of the study.

Formatting Guidelines:

a) All authors must have an ORCID iD registration, as it is a requirement of this Journal's indexers (Link to register: https://orcid.org/register). ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating and maintaining a system where all participants in research, scholarships, and innovations are uniquely identified. This system provides an identification number for each researcher, avoiding ambiguities or similarities, and is integrated with other databases and indexers. For any questions, please contact us at riecienciasematematica@gmail.com.

b) It is mandatory for at least one author or co-author to hold a Doctorate degree.

c) The following information about each author must be inserted (in a footnote on the first page) as it is a requirement of the Journal's indexers: Academic degree and name of the institution (ACRONYM) where the degree was obtained. Role and institution to which the author is affiliated (ACRONYM), city, state, country. Mailing address: Street/Av., number, complement, neighborhood, city, state, country, ZIP code: xxxxx-xxx. Email: author@xxx.com. Each article must include the full name of the author's or authors' work institution, or, when appropriate, a statement of independent worker. Note: The use of the full name of the institution is mandatory when mentioning the authors' affiliation. Each affiliation must include the city and country of the institution. If you do not have an affiliation, you must indicate "independent worker," "independent researcher," or equivalent. Each author must have their institutional affiliation, and it must be easily recognizable in all cases.

d) All information about the authors must be entered in the JOURNAL METADATA (page where the article is submitted), providing the ORCID links, Lattes, and other information.

e) The number of pages for articles and/or experience reports should range from 15 (minimum) to 25 (maximum).

f) The page setup should have top and left margins of 3 cm, and bottom and right margins of 2 cm.

g) The body of the article should use Arial font, size 12.

h) Line spacing should be 1.5 cm, with a 1.25 cm indentation on the first line of paragraphs, and without spacing before and after paragraphs.

i) To emphasize words/phrases in the text, only use italics, avoid bold and/or underline or other highlights.

j) Footnotes should be formatted as follows: Times New Roman font, size 10, single-spaced, and justified. We suggest that footnotes should be avoided whenever possible. However, if there is no other possibility, they should be numbered with Arabic numerals, except for the authors' notes on the first page, which should be marked with *, **, ***, **** to avoid confusion with footnotes related to the content of the manuscript.

k) Acronyms and abbreviations should be used immediately after their meanings and in parentheses. Example: The Graduate Program in Science and Mathematics Education (PPGecim) is linked to the Federal University of Northern Tocantins (UFNT).

l) One space before and after each topic or subtopic.

m) Topics should be written in capital letters, left-aligned, and in bold.

n) The numbering of the article's topics is sequential and follows the determinations of the ABNT standard (NBR 6024).

o) Subtopics should be written with only the initial capitalized letter, left-aligned, and in bold.

p) Abstract, Abstract/Resumen, and References should not be numbered. The Abstract and Abstract/Resumen should be centered, and the References should be left-aligned, also written in bold and uppercase.

q) Citations should be indicated in the text, providing the surname of the cited author in uppercase inside parentheses or uppercase and lowercase when part of the text, followed by the year and the page where the information can be found in the consulted work.

r) In indirect citations in the body of the text, authors' names should be referenced using upper and lowercase letters. If enclosed in parentheses, they should be written in uppercase. For example: Silva (2017) or (SILVA, 2017).

s) Direct quotations with more than three lines should follow ABNT norms, with a 4 cm indentation from the left margin, single spacing, without quotation marks, Times New Roman font, size 10.

t) Note that the page number of the citation should come together with the year, before or after the quoted text.

u) Direct quotations with a maximum of three lines should be inserted in the body of the text, enclosed in double quotation marks (" "). For example: "In the first of these facets, we take into account the beliefs, and in the second, the metacognitive processes of the mathematics teacher" (GODINO et al., 2017, p.133). Or, according to Godino et al. (2007, p. 133), "In the first of these facets, we take into account the beliefs, and in the second, the metacognitive processes of the mathematics teacher."

v) We suggest avoiding the use of "apud" and, whenever possible, use the original citation (or translation).

w) All direct or indirect citations must be incorporated into the text and included in the references.

2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK (As many topics and subtopics as necessary)

The theoretical frameworks serve as the foundation for the study and are used in the analysis of the results presented later. Preference should be given to recent publications from specialized/well-regarded journals, books, dissertations, theses, or works presented at events in the field. Citations will be arranged according to the technical standards ABNT/NBR 10523 of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards.

3. METHODOLOGY (Paths of the conducted research)

It is interesting to present, whenever possible (according to the theoretical-methodological-epistemological bases), a theoretical foundation on the methodological assumptions of the conducted research: approach, type, subjects, locus, instruments, procedures, and techniques used, context, environment, and other necessary elements. Dialogues, interviews, conversations, examples of exercises, and other instruments derived from collected data should follow the formatting: Times New Roman font, size 10, italics, single line spacing, with a 1.25 indentation. In parentheses, include the source, in 10-point font. Example:

Teacher: And how did you arrive at this solution? How did you think about it?

Student: I multiplied the two numbers and added it to the initial value. But it was Pedro who told me to do it this way. I'm still not convinced it's correct.

(Dialogue between teacher and student, 2017).

Alternatively, they can be organized within tables. Example: [Here you can provide an example of a table containing relevant data or information from the research.]

Note: The number and titles of topics and subtopics are not explicitly provided in the previous instructions. You can create the necessary number of topics and subtopics under "Theoretical Framework" and "Methodology" based on the structure of your research and the amount of content you need to cover. The guidelines provided earlier offer general formatting instructions for each section and suggest elements to include, but the specific organization will depend on the details of your research and the structure you wish to adopt.

Table 1 - Dialogue between teacher and student.

Source: Author's own production (2017)

Figures and tables should be placed as close as possible to their reference in the text. The title of the figures should be sufficiently clear in relation to the image, so that it is not necessary to consult the body of the text. Only the number of the object and the designating word should be in bold. All content in the figures should follow this instruction: Times New Roman font, size 10, single spacing, centered alignment. Always mention the source.

Figure 1 - Title of Figure 1

Source: Source name or author's last name (year, p.)

Use a good image resolution so that it is legible to readers at 100% zoom, always respecting the document's margins.

Tables present descriptive information, written in text form. All content within the table should follow the instruction: Arial font, size 10, single spacing, centered alignment. Always mention the source. Example 1:

Table 2 - Humberto's Justifications in Summing the Results of Two Dice

Source: Silva (2017)

 Example 2:

Table 3 - Table Title 1

Source: Source Name or Author's Last Name (Year, p.)

Tables are graphic forms in which numerical data stands out as central information. The identification of the tables should appear at the top, preceded by the word "Table" (in bold), followed by its sequential number in the text, in Arabic numerals (in bold); then, insert the corresponding title (without bold). The table title should be written in Arial font, size 12, and should be separated from the numbering by a hyphen. Always mention the source. Insert the table as close as possible to its reference in the text. The content of the table, as well as sources and notes, should be written in Arial font, size 10, single-line spacing, centered alignment. Example 1:

Table 1 - Distribution of heights of 140 students from school X

Source: elaborated by the author

Example 2:

Table 1 - Qualitative Research by Quantitative Percentile Analysis

Source: Adapted from Mays apud Greenhalg (1997)

Tables, charts, and equations must be in an editable format. Images will not be accepted. Expressions such as "the table above" or "the figure below" should not be used, as their placement may change during the editing process.

Tables should be presented following the guidelines of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Tabular Presentation Norms, 1993. Each table must have a title indicating the nature and geographical and temporal scope of the numerical data, written out in full without abbreviations, in a clear and concise manner. If the document includes two or more tables, each one should be numbered (using Arabic numerals in ascending order). The table's frame should not have vertical lines on the left and right sides. It should contain numerical data entered in its cells to provide quantification of specific observed facts. It is recommended to design the table to fit on a single page and maintain graphical consistency (font, size, use of upper and lower case).

4 ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

Developed based on the theoretical and methodological framework, considering the scientific requirements to ensure originality, scientificity, rigor, and precision.

5 CONCLUSIONS

Highlight the author's conclusions and/or positions regarding the study's findings, usually achieved through exploring the objectives attained and discussing the problem under consideration.

REFERENCES

Complete references should be presented following the technical norms NB-66 (NBR 6023) from ABNT and only for the citations made in the body of the text, not from other consulted works. They should be listed in alphabetical order and not numbered or marked with bullet points. Use font size 12, without indentation, left-aligned, single spacing, and space between each reference. Whenever possible, it is mandatory to include the links to access the references available on the internet so that reviewers and readers can immediately consult them after (or during) reading the article, especially when referring to online articles (in journals or conference proceedings), e-books, theses, and dissertations. Insert the DOI link.

ATTENTION: In order to promote and utilize the research published in RIEcim and, consequently, increase the number of citations of this journal in Google Scholar, which will contribute to improving its recognition in the CAPES Qualis rankings, WE SUGGEST CITING AT LEAST TWO OR THREE ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN THE INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (RIEcim) IN RECENT YEARS. Citations can be direct or indirect and should be included in the article's references.
