Author Guidelines

Articles are to be unpublished and are to develop topics relating to economic sciences, better if accounting-oriented in areas like: costs and accounting management, tributary processes, management and public accounting, tax accounting, financial management, accounting theory, international accounting, education and accounting education, accounting technology, history of accounting, control processes, and all topics relating directly to accounting and accounting profession in local and global contexts. Since the journal seeks to spread on varying public selected academic production, the making of the text must witness to an adequate redaction and idiomatic correction, besides the rigour proper to reflection and research works. The submission has not been previously published, nor has it been previously submitted to another journal (or an explanation has been provided in the Comments to the editor).

Articles under the following modes take priority: *Scientific and technological research article, *Reflection articles and *Revision articles. Nevertheless, occasionally we publish also: *Short article, *Case Report, *Topic revision, *Translation and *Synthesis in the style of a research article from degree projects. The extension of all the articles must be between 6.000 and 9.000 words, included tables, figures and references. The extension of the short article must be between 2.000 and 3.500 words included tables, figures and references.

We define the three first modes:

Scientific research article: document showing in detail the original results of accomplished research. The form generally employed contains four important divisions: introduction, methodology, results, and conclusions.

Reflection article: document showing accomplished research results from the author’s analytical, interpretative or critical point of view about a specific topic making use of original sources.

Revision article: document evincing an accomplished research wherein the results of published or unpublished researches into a technology or science domain are analysed, systematised, and integrated so that improvements and tendencies of the development are evinced. It is characterised by the presentation of a careful bibliographical revision of at least 50 references.

Finally, the submission must have the following information: Letter of originality and rights, author’s information, presentation of the article with this information: title, abstract, author’s name; manuscript (it must not contain author’s information). The article is submitted to an anti-plagiarism evaluation in order to ensure the originality and the adequate referencing of the manuscript.
