  As part of the submission process, authors are required to verify their compliance with all the following items.
  Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines may be returned to the authors for correction before peer review.
  

• 1. Originality and Exclusivity

  
  

  
  Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Interdisciplinary Knowledge must be original and unpublished and may not be under
  review by another publication. Papers previously presented in scientific conference proceedings are acceptable, provided
  they include substantial revisions and new scientific contributions beyond the original version. If the paper has been
  previously made available online as a working paper, discussion text, or similar format, the author must remove it from
  circulation during the review process and ensure that, if accepted, publication occurs exclusively in this journal.
  

• 2. Formatting and Style

  
  

  
  The submitted work must comply with the Author Guidelines available on the About the Journal page,
  following the required formatting, style, and bibliographic standards.
  

• 3. Authorship

  
  

  
  A maximum of five (5) authors is allowed per article, listed in order of their individual contribution to the manuscript.
  

• 4. File Format and Size

  
  

  
  The submission file must be in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx) and should not exceed 2 MB in size.
  

• 5. Language and Responsibility

  
  

  
  When submitting the article, the author(s) acknowledge that:
  

  
  

  
  a) The manuscript must be grammatically correct, and authors are responsible for ensuring professional language review
  before submission. Reviewers will not correct grammar or spelling.
  
  b) The article, once accepted, must fully comply with the linguistic and stylistic norms of English (U.S.), Portuguese,
  or Spanish, depending on the language of submission.
  
  c) The opinions and positions expressed in the published articles are the sole responsibility of the author(s) and do not
  necessarily reflect the views of the Editor or the Editorial Board.
  

• 6. Letter to the Editor

  
  

  
  Authors must submit a Letter to the Editor (maximum one page) as a Supplementary Document, explaining the
  scientific contribution and originality of the paper. If the manuscript is derived from a conference presentation, this
  must be stated in the letter, along with a summary of the main improvements made since the previous version.

  All manuscripts submitted and published in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Knowledge must be original and not previously published
  in any other journal, book, or academic manuscript.

  Upon submission, all authors and co-authors agree to act as peer reviewers for up to two (2) manuscripts submitted
  by other authors, following the Double Blind Review system.
