Submissions

All images need a resolution of at least 300 dpi. All images should be supplied independently of the article, not embedded into the text itself. The files should be clearly labelled and an indication given as to where they should be placed in the text. Reproduction will normally be in black-and-white. The image should always be accompanied by a suitable caption. The following is the agreed style for captions: Figure 1: Artist, Title of Artwork, Year. Medium. Dimensions. Location. Copyright holder information. Please note the colon after the number and the terminating full point, even if the caption is not a full sentence. Copyright clearance should be indicated by the contributor and is always the responsibility of the author.

Articles should be between 7000 and 8000 words including notes and references – but not including the author biography, keywords or abstract.

Contributors must check that each of the following have been supplied correctly:

• Article title.
• Author name.
• Author addresses – the submitted material should include details of the full postal and e-mail addresses of the contributor for correspondence purposes.
• Author biography – authors should include a short biography of around 100 words, specifying the institution with which they are affiliated.
• Author ORCID identifier. This must be supplied in the following format: https://orcid.org/0000-0002- 1825-0097. If you do not yet have an ORCID identifier, please register here: https://orcid.org/register.
• Abstract of 150 words.
• Keywords – four to six words.
• References – please use the Harvard in-text referencing system embedded in the following format (Harper 1999: 27).
• Bibliography – titled ‘References’.

If a note is necessary, please ensure that these are endnotes, not footnotes. Place note calls outside the punctuation, after the comma, full stop, colon etc. The note call must be in superscripted Arabic (,1 ,2 ,3).

The views expressed in Portuguese Journal of Social Science are those of the authors, and do not necessarily represent those of the Editors, the Editorial Committee, the Editorial Board, or Iscte-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa.

Copyright clearance should be indicated by the author and is always the responsibility of the author. Unless a specific agreement has been made, accepted articles become the copyright of the journal. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, a contributor publishing agreement will be provided and should be completed and sent to the Editors to accompany every article. 

All articles should be submitted in Word format. The font should be Times New Roman, 12 point. The title of the article should be in bold at the beginning of the file, but not enclosed in quote marks. Bold is also used for headings and subheadings (which should also be in Times New Roman, 12 point) in the article. Italics may be used (sparingly) to indicate key concepts. Any matters concerning the format and presentation of articles not covered by the above notes should be addressed to the Editors. 

The journal’s style for quotations embedded into a paragraph is single quote marks, with double quote marks for a second quotation contained within the first. All long quotations (i.e. over 40 words long) should be ‘displayed’– i.e. set into a separate indented paragraph with an additional one-line space above and below, and without quote marks at the beginning or end. Please note that for quotations within the text, the punctuation should follow the bracketed reference. For a displayed quotation the bracketed reference appears after the full stop. All omissions in a quotation are indicated as: […] Note that there are no spaces between the suspension points. When italics are used for emphasis within quotations, please ensure that you indicate whether the emphasis is from the original text or whether you are adding it to make a point.

The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a refereed journal. Strict anonymity is accorded to both authors and referees.

All references in the text should be according to the Harvard system, e.g. (Bordwell 1989: 9). The default term used for this list is ‘References’. Please note in particular:
• ‘Anon.’ for items for which you do not have an author (because all items must be referenced with an author within the text)
• Year date of publication in brackets
• Commas, not full stops, between parts of each reference
• Absence of ‘in’ after the title of a chapter if the reference relates to an article in a journal or newspaper.
• Name of translator of a book within brackets after title and preceded by ‘trans.’, not ‘transl.’ or ‘translated by’.
• Absence of ‘no.’ for the journal number, a colon between journal volume and number.
• ‘pp.’ before page extents.

There is no need to include any place of publication or a specific publisher, but the reference must have an author, and the author must be referenced Harvard-style within the text. Unlike paper references, however, web pages can change, so there needs to be a date of access as well as the full web reference. Website or blog titles should be in roman font. In the list of references at the end of your article, the item should read as:

If readers are unlikely to understand the title of a non English-language work in your text (and references), the title in the original language may be accompanied by an English translation by the author, especially if its sense is not implied by the surrounding text. Unofficial translations (e.g. those by the author) should be placed in quotation marks with parentheses, in roman type with an initial capital on the first word of title and subtitle (see Gliesmann in References, as an example). After the first mention in text, the original title should be used alone. The official titles of published translations are set in italics inside parentheses. After the first mention in text, the English title should be used alone.
