TEMPLATE (submissions in Portuguese)

Template (submissions in English/Spanish)

Authors must submit a “Declaration of Agreement” whose signatures can be scanned (staircases) or made through electronic platforms such as Gov.Br. The statement must protect the corresponding author from their civil and criminal liabilities in the event of improper use of signatures. Another option for the agreement form is to include the email messages of the Co-authors, authorizing the processing in Revista Nativa and its possible publication. Failure to send these files will result in the submission being canceled/archived in the system. At no time, that is, during the submission and processing process of the article, should the corresponding author allow the provision of supplementary documents to the reviewers in the Publication system, in order not to compromise the anonymous peer review.
