Submissions

Author Guidelines

1. SUBMISSION

The submission of the original manuscript is carried out through the journal platform (http://sbembrasil.org.br/revista/index.php/EMR-RS/index).

At the time of submission, it is mandatory that the author(s) correctly complete, in the system (OJS), the full data for all authors (full name, institutional affiliation, e-mail, and ORCID, when requested by the system). These metadata are used in the editorial workflow and in the future publication.

For peer review purposes, the manuscript file uploaded with the submission must be blinded, that is, it must not contain author names, institution, e-mail, ORCID, or any other elements that allow reviewers to identify authorship. Author data must be entered directly in the platform.

The manuscript must strictly follow the official EMR-RS template. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KVuO8GxaH7G0ajVD340VRUJGL63ESgXa/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=100374822593908545347&rtpof=true&sd=true

After the manuscript is approved, the insertion of complete authorship information (name, affiliation, e-mail, and ORCID) will be requested in the final file, as specified in the template.

Only one article per author will be published in the same issue of the Journal.
