Opinião Pública publishes articles written in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Articles must be submitted (in .doc format) exclusively through Scielo / ScholarOne's online submission system: https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/op-scielo. They cannot be subjected to any other vehicle at the same time.
Publication in the Opinião Pública is conditioned to the anonymous expert review process (double-blind review). In order to guarantee anonymity in the evaluation process, the name of the author(s) must NOT appear in the body of the text, as well as any other references that allow their identification.
Articles from the preprint server go through the one-blind review evaluation process.
If the article is approved for publication, the copyright must be assigned to Cesop/Unicamp, mentioning agreement with the publication, which must also include the name, full address, telephone, fax, e-mail, title and the institution to which author is linked. The author must also share databases, codes, methods and other materials used and resulting from the research presented in the published article.
We will not accept articles without abstracts in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish. The article should have between 20 and 40 pages, including images, notes and references. The page format should be standard A4 paper with left and right margins measuring 1.5, size 12 Times New Roman font and 1.5 line spacing. Said abstracts should consist of no more than 900 characters, and an additional 5 keywords that identify the contents of the article. The abstract must describe the research question and goals of the article, the methodological approach used, and the findings, as well as the implications and originality of the study. Tables, maps, charts, graphs, etc. must be placed in the appropriate position in the text, in .jpg (300 to 500 dpi) format, with title, caption, and source. If the paper is accepted for publication, these figures must be submitted in their original format so they can be edited.
Authors cited must appear in the text and should be referred to as follows: (Author´s last name, date) or (Author´s last name, date, page number). E.g.: (Souza, 1976) or (Souza, 1976, p. 64). Different titles by the same author published during the same year should be identified by a letter after the date. E.g.: (Almeida, 1989a), (Almeida, 1989b).
The bibliography that is used must be presented at the end of the article, with authors listed in alphabetical order and in accordance to the ABNT norms (NBR 6023), as illustrated in the following examples. Note not only the order of the elements, but also to the kinds of sources and the punctuation conventions used in each citation.

The titles of the article’s sections should be formatted in bold and its subsections in italics.

The sections and subsections of the article should not be numbered. If there are quotes and/or references to sections of the article itself throughout the text, refer to the section title. E.g.: As discussed in the section "Opinions and Attitudes about Democracy...".
-
Whenever there is a reference to the article itself, the word "article," and not the words "paper," "work," "study," etc., should be used in the text.

The titles and sources of the tables should be complete (when they are "self-produced," indicate the data on which they are based. E.g.: Self-produced based on TSE data).

The titles and sources must not be embedded in the charts and graphs.

Symbols such as "%" and others should be removed from the inside of the tables and graphs and, when applicable, presented together with their respective titles.

We ask that attention be paid to the spelling of proper nouns and dates of publications cited in the text and in the references to minimize dubiety.
OPINIÃO PÚBLICA's staff will review typographical errors, orthography, grammar, spelling of proper nouns, acronyms, dates of publication in the bibliographical references in the body of the text and in references at the end of the article; however, the more careful authors are with all these aspects, the less likely it is that errors will appear in the published version.
