Body of the Text: Epigraphs, Sections, Subsections, Footnotes

Epigraphs

To add an epigraph, use 6pt after spacing below the last keywords. Use 1,5 spacing, font size 11 and right justification. Only the author’s name should be added below the epigraph: the year and the page number are not given. An epigraph’s source should be listed in the references section.

Sections and Subsections

Section and subsection headings should be in bold and not indented. Number them with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) with no period after them. Do not number the introduction, conclusion or bibliography. Texts written originally in English should use title case for headings.

When referencing and the author’s name does not occur naturally in the sentence, the author’s surname, the year, and the page number (the latter in case of direct quotations) are separated by commas and given in parentheses. See the example: (Bakhtin, 2003, pp. 261-306). If the author’s name occurs naturally in the sentence, the year, and the page number (the latter in case of direct quotations) are given in parentheses. See the example: Bakhtin (2003, pp. 261-306).

NEVER use Idem, Ibidem, Op. Cit. Follow the conventions described here.

Footnotes

Footnotes should appear at the end of the page, numbered sequentially according to its appearance in the manuscript. Use font size 10 and single spacing.

The Use of Italics, Boldface, Underline and Quotation Marks

Italics: Use it in three situations: foreign words, titles of books in the body of the text, emphasis on a word or passage.

Boldface: Use it only for titles and headings.

Underline: Never use it.

Quotation marks: Use double quotation marks only for direct quotations. Never use them for the titles of articles, songs, and book chapters, which are given no typographical emphasis. See the example below.

Ex.: In the essay titled The Problem of Speech genres, Bakhtin explains that “All the diverse areas of human activity involve the use of language.” (2016, p 11)

Quotations:

The first time an author is cited, her/his full name must be used without abbreviations.

Ex.: In the essay titled The Problem of Speech genres, Mikhail Bakhtin (1986, p. 60) explains that “All the diverse areas of human activity involve the use of language.”

Direct Quotations: Four lines or longer

Direct quotations of four or more lines should set off from the text as a block quote by beginning a new line and indenting 4cm from the left margin. Use font size 11 and single spacing. Do not use quotation marks. After the excerpt, the author’s surname, the year, and the page number are separated by commas and given in parentheses.

When citing works with four or more authors, the surname of the first author should be given, followed by the Latin expression et al. in italics. See the example: (Cassanas et al., 2003, p. 205).

Translations into English (or the other language of the manuscript) of quotations from foreign works must be provided in the body of the text, and the original excerpt should be presented in a footnote. It is best that published translations be used. In case they do not exist, justify the free translation in a footnote.

REFERENCES

The heading REFERENCES should be in capital letters and not in boldface. It should appear below the last line of the paper with 1.5 line spacing, 6 pt spacing before and 0 pt spacing after. Do not use indentation.

The first entry should appear in the line below the word REFERENCES. Entries in the reference list should follow alphabetical order and not be numbered. They should be single-spaced, with 6 pt spacing before and 0 pt spacing after between them.

Entries by the same author should be listed in date order from earliest to most recent. If entries by an author fall in the same year, they should be differentiated by lowercase letters following the date (e.g., 2010a, 2010b, 2010c).

The name(s) of the translator(s) and the author(s) of other sections, such as foreword, introduction, etc., should be presented in the entry (e.g., Edited and translated by Caryl Emerson; introduction by Wayne C. Booth).

The use of published translations directly from the original is mandatory.

General Format of Book Reviews

Since 2018 the indexation, publication and inclusion in the SciELO Collection’s performance metrics has depended on (i) the scientific relevance of the manuscripts; (ii) the institutional affiliation of the authors, (iii) different headings for the manuscript and its sections, and (iv) citations and bibliographical references.

As for book reviews, only critical reviews that contribute to the development of new knowledge are accepted. Therefore, they should be more than just book summaries and dialogue with other authors/works. The bibliographic references of the quoted works should be listed at the end of the review.

The journal only accepts reviews of books published in Brazil within the last 2 years and the ones published abroad, within the last 4 years.

1 General Format of Reviews

Page setup: Page size should be A4 (210 X 297 mm), portrait orientation, with margins of 3cm on all four edges.

Font type: The text should be in Times New Roman, font size 12.

Spacing: Use 1.5 spacing between lines and paragraphs. Between the title of each section and the previous/next text, insert a 1.5 blank line space, 0 pt spacing before and 6 pt spacing after.

Paragraph indentation: Indent the first line of each paragraph by 1.25 cm.

Manuscript size: reviews should not exceed 10,000 characters. They should be 6 to 8 pages long.

2 Formatting the First Page

The full bibliographic reference of the reviewed work, including the number of pages it contains, should start the review on the top of the first page. It should be typed in boldface, Times New Roman, font size 14, and single spacing. There should be no titles, abstracts or keywords in book reviews.

The name of the author is added after 3 single-spaced lines below the bibliographic reference in italics on the right margin. Use capital letters for initials in the name, which should be followed by an asterisk that refers to a footnote (Times New Roman, font size 10 pt, single-spaced, and text justification). On the footnote inform the author’s affiliation/institution and the acronym of the institution, followed by the name of the College/School/Faculty/Center, Department, Campus, the city, state (province), country.  Indication of the contributors and supporting agencies related to the submission, if any, the ORCID iD, and the email address (without the word email). Follow the example below.

* Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo – PUC-SP, Faculdade de Filosofia, Comunicação e Artes, Departamento de Ciências da Linguagem e Filosofia, Campus Perdizes, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil; FAPESP, Proc. NNNN/NNNN-N;  http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097; xxxx@gmail.com

Book Cover Image: Add the image of the book cover 2 single-spaced lines below the name of the reviewer. It should fill the page.

Guidelines for the Portuguese Version of Accepted Papers

Accepted papers in English will be sent back to the author, who will, then, be required to provide a Portuguese version within the due date informed on the acceptance email message. Bakhtiniana will assign referees to analyze the quality of the translation. In other words, the referees will verify language accuracy and adequacy of the translated article in Portuguese.

In general, the guidelines for the Portuguese version are similar to those for the original paper. However, the translator of the paper must observe the following specific guidelines.

1 For the translation of the title in Portuguese, use Times New Roman, size 14, sentence-style capitalization, centered without margins, in boldface, followed by a slash and its title in English in italics.

2 The guidelines for the Resumo and the abstract are the same. However, the Resumo must be presented before the abstract.   

3 The title of sections and subsections follow sentence-style capitalization.

4 The guidelines for the use of italics, boldface, underline and quotation marks are the same of the text in English.

5 When a specific work has a published Portuguese translation, quotations must be taken from the Portuguese translation and not freely translated. The reference of the Portuguese version must be presented on a footnote – not in the bibliographic reference list.

6 When the work cited has no Portuguese version, the quotation(s) must be freely translated into Portuguese, and the quotation in the original language must be presented on a footnote.

7 The presentation of the bibliographic references in the reference list must be the same in both texts (original and version) and in the same language. As stated in # 5, the reference of the Portuguese version of a book must be presented on a footnote, not in the reference list.

Articles will only be published if the English and the Portuguese versions are accepted. The article is not published if one of the versions is rejected. 

The translator’s name and email address must be indicated at the end of the article. This does not apply to companies, which are not disclosed by Bakhtiniana.

Additional Information

The journal editors reserve the right to reject a manuscript if it does not meet the standards and requirements for publication.

If submission is accepted, peer referees will be chosen based on their area of research or expertise. The author will receive the reviews as soon as the evaluation process is over. If the decision is “Accept after revision,” the author will receive the comments of the referees in order to make the necessary corrections.

The evaluation process of submitted articles is threefold: (i) the evaluation by peer reviewers; (ii) the evaluation of the translated version by members of the Foreign Language Editorial Board, and (iii) the evaluation by the editors. The publication of the article depends on this threefold approval. 

Observation

Papers sent by email and not submitted through the Journal website (http://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/bakhtiniana) will not be accepted.

Besides, Bakhtiniana does not translate or review manuscripts for authors.
