Scientific work
Complete works that present scientific research findings and make an original contribution to general, regional, or international knowledge. These articles aim to discuss a hypothesis or provide a novel theoretical and/or practical insight into the topic. Including at least one example with real data to illustrate the proposed technology or concept is highly recommended, though not strictly required. Articles should be structured coherently, with an introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions, to ensure clarity and scientific rigor.
communications
Concise communications that present preliminary results, novel observations, or specific advances in a study area. These articles allow authors to share relevant, shorter contributions that may not require the full development of a traditional scientific article. Short notes should focus on a specific topic, be clear and direct, and may include results that serve as a basis for future studies or immediate practical applications. Although shorter in length, they must meet the same standards of scientific rigor and quality as full articles.
Reviews
Articles that provide a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the existing scientific literature within a specific area of knowledge. These works analyze and synthesize previous findings, identify trends and research gaps, and propose future directions, offering an updated and contextualized perspective on the topic. Reviews are aimed at researchers and professionals seeking an in-depth understanding of the state of the art in a discipline, presenting a rigorous and well-supported analysis that fosters knowledge advancement and guides the development of new research.
Didactic articles
Articles aimed at teaching and clarifying concepts, methods, or technologies in specific areas of knowledge. These works provide detailed explanations, practical examples, and pedagogical strategies that facilitate learning and the application of complex topics. Targeted at both undergraduate/graduate students and professionals, these articles seek to inspire ideas and support the development of technical and conceptual skills in an accessible and structured manner.
Reports
History and Commemorations
