Manuscript categories:

Editorial: Any researcher may write the editorial on the invitation of the Editors in Chief. Editorials should cover broad aspects of Aerospace Technology, with scientific content.  Such manuscripts are not submitted to peer review

 

Review articles: These should cover subjects that are relevant to the scope of the journal.  Authors should bear in mind that they are expected to have expertise in the reviewed field. The article may be of any length required for the concise presentation of the subject

 

Original papers: These articles should report results of the scientific research. The article should not present more than 60,000 characters with space, as succinct papers are favored in terms of impact as well as in readability

 

Communications: They should report previous results of ongoing research and should not content more than 40,000 characters with space.

Thematic section: JATM, since 2022, publish a regular thematic section exploring issues of importance to developing a specific subject. The theme is defined by the Editorial Committee, which invites 2 Guest Section editors to oversee the evaluation of the manuscripts. Contributions to the thematic section are subject to peer review and benefit from comments and editorial guidance from the guest editors. Each article should not present more than 40,000 characters with space.

Papers already presented at conferences will be accepted if they were not published in complete form in the Annals of the conference or if they are extended with additional results or new findings. These articles will be evaluated as the others.

 

The use of copyrighted material, such as, figures, tables, drawings, etc. from other sources (including the Internet) needs a written permission. Authors are the solely responsible to get the required permissions, and to present them at the time of the submission.

 

Articles from guest authors will be published after approval of one specialist Section Editor.

 

The JATM does not publish translated articles from other journals.

 

Evaluation

 

JATM is committed to the open science initiatives and will progressively offer to the reviewers and correspondence author the opening of their identities according to

the use of the Open Science Compliance Form that must be submitted as a supplementary file to the manuscript.

 

The manuscripts will be received by the assistant editors who initially will verify the similarity of the content (plagiarism) using the iThenticate system. For manuscripts with no or low content of similarity, a Section Editor (SE) will be assigned. The SE will appoint 2 to 4 external evaluators (ad hoc referees) in double-blind peer review mode, ensuring complete anonymity.  After receiving the evaluations, the SE must give a decision about the manuscript addressing the evaluator’s recommendations. The SE can accept the manuscript in the form it was submitted; can reject it or request revisions. The manuscript that requires revision will be sent to the author, who is supposed to submit a new version and a letter to the Editor, where each recommendation of the evaluators should be commented. The additional paragraphs should be highlighted. In the case the author does not agree with the evaluator’s suggestions, it is necessary to explain the reasons.  After verifying the adherence to the recommendations in the new version, the SE should give the final decision or, exceptionally, send to another evaluation round if the changes have not been sufficiently addressed.  The entire process is available to the authors at any moment. In the cases the authors do not agree with the final decision, it is allowed to appeal on the decision by sending an email to the Executive Editor, who will review the process and ask for reconsideration to the Editors in Chief, if justified.

 

 

Form and  preparation of  manuscripts

 

The manuscript should be digitalized using a Microsoft® Office document (.docx), 12-pt. Times New Roman, double-spaced throughout, justified paragraphs and leaving one space after a period. Do not try to fit the manuscript in the final template.  Top level headings should be centered on the page, using upper and lower case. Second level headings should be flush left, italicized, using upper and lower case, without numbering.  For those authors that prefer to edit in LaTex, submit a PDF file instead.  Authors are also strongly advised to use abbreviations sparingly whenever possible to improve the readability of the manuscript. Do not include a list of symbols, nomenclature and/or abbreviations.  Instead, define them at the first time they appear in text. Accepted manuscripts can be edited by the editorial office to comply with the format of the journal, remove redundancies, and improve clarity and understanding without altering meaning.  The edited text will be presented to authors for approval.



If you did not accepted the open review process, make sure to protect the identies of the authors. So, check if the following steps have been taken with regard to the text and the file properties: (1) delete the authors’ name from the text, with “Author” and year used in citation and in the references, instead of the authors’ name, article title etc.; (2) do not include the section “Acknowledgements”; (3) do not include the section "Author's contribution"; and (4) author identification should also be removed from the properties of the file. In the copyediting step, after approval of the manuscript, the corresponding author will be requested to complete all this information.

 

Manuscript structure

Whenever possible, manuscripts should include the following subsections; however, articles from some areas should follow their usual format. Please, do not number the sections. Use different style for differentiate subsections:

 

Title and names of authors: The title should not contain abbreviations. All authors should be identified with full name, email, institution to which they are related, city, state, and country. One of them should be indicated as the author for correspondence and his/her full postal address is required.

 

Abstract: They are limited to 200 words and structured into objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Citations or abbreviations (except internationally recognized abbreviations, such as weights, measures, and physical or chemical ones) are not permitted.

 

Keywords:  It is highly recommended to choose the keywords accurately, selecting three to six items based on NASA Thesaurus volume 2 – Access Vocabulary, which can be accessed at http://www.sti.nasa.gov/thesvol2.pdf

 

Introduction: It should set the purpose of the study, providing a brief summary (not a review) of previous relevant studies, and stating the new advances in the current investigation. The introduction should not include data or conclusions from the work being reported. A final sentence summarizing the novel finding to be presented is permissible.

 

Methodology: The authors are free to use any structure in this section to fit the objectives of the study. They could also rename it (e.g. Numerical analysis, Case study, and so on), and in some cases it may be advisable to omit it. Clear and sufficient information to permit the study to be repeated by others should be briefly given. Standard techniques need only to be referenced. Previously published methods may be briefly described following the reference.

 

Results: This section should be a concise account of the new information that was discovered, with the least personal judgment. Do not repeat in text all the data in the tables and illustrations, but briefly describe what these data comprise.

 

Discussion: The discussion should include the significance of the new information and relevance of the new findings in light of existing knowledge. Only unavoidable citations should be included. Citations to review articles are not encouraged in this section. In some cases, this section may be advisable to merge with the previous section (“Results and Discussion”).

 

Acknowledgements: This section should be dedicated for those who did not participate directly in achieving the results presented in the paper. Also, references to personal or private communication placed in running text should be acknowledged in this section. This session will appear only in the copyediting step. It must not appear in the manuscript.

 

Author's contribution: Journals mandating CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) will enable authors to provide information on submission, allowing for detailed information about individual contributions to the work. Do not provided on main submission text, this information can be provided at subsequent revision stages, facilitated by the Editorial Office. The submitting author is responsible for ensuring that contributions of all authors are correct and it is expected that all authors will have reviewed, discussed and agreed to their individual contributions as shared by the submitting author.

The authors’ contribution statement will be published with the final article and should accurately reflect contributions to the work according to: Conceptualization [Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims];  Data Curation [Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later reuse]; Formal Analysis [Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data]; Funding Acquisition [Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication]; Investigation [Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection]; Methodology [Development or design of methodology; creation of models]; Project Administration [Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution]; Resources [Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analysis tools]; Software [Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components]; Supervision [Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship external to the core team]; Validation [Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs]; Visualization [Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation]; Writing – Original Draft Preparation [Creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation)]; Writing – Review & Editing [Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision – including pre- or post-publication stages]

 

Regardless of the contribution and the registration system, all authors are equally responsible for the article content.

 

Funding: The financial support received for the elaboration of the manuscript must be declared in this item. This session will appear only in the copyediting step. It must not appear in the manuscript due to the peer review policy of JATM. The funding agency should be written out in full, followed by the Funder registry DOI and the grant number. Multiple grant numbers of same agency or multiple agencies should also be informed. If the research is not funded by a specific project grant include this information: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

 

References: Acceptable references include journal articles, numbered papers, books, and submitted articles, if the journal is identified. References must be restricted to directly relevant papers or abstracts that have been accepted for publication. Self-citation should be limited to a minimum. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references.

 

 Style and format citation

 

The JATM uses the name-year system. The references should be mentioned in the text by giving the last name of the author and the year of publication: Smith 1997. For articles with 2 authors, use the form: Smith and Farias 1997. With 3 or more names, use the form: Smith et al. 1997. If two or more references have the same identification, distinguish them by appending “a”, “b” etc. to the year of publication. Where citing more than one reference, they should be separated by semicolon. Standards should be cited in text by the acronym of the entity followed by the number, and they do not appear in the references list.  Organization as author should be cited by the acronym. 

Research data: Data files, software codes and other content must be cited in the text, preferentially in the Materials and Methods’s section. For the in-text reference of websites or other online formats, include only the first word or two words of the title (enough to distinguish it from other titles in the references list), followed by an ellipsis (APSnet . . . c1994–2005).  References to personal or private communication should be cited as in this example: ... and most of these parameters (2012 Final project of Carvalho DS; unreferenced, see “Acknowledgements” section) were used to …

 

The references list is unnumbered and appears in alphabetical order by author and year of publication, with multiple studies by the same author listed in chronological order. It is highly recommended that each reference contains the digital object identifier number (doi). References retrieved from the Internet should be cited by the last name of the author(s) and the year of publication, or n.d., if not available, followed by the date of access. Some examples are as the following ones:

 

Journals:  List authors in the order in which they appear in the original text, separated by colon. The year of publication follows the authors list in parentheses, followed by article and journal title, as well as volume or issue information. The page range for the article is preceded by colon.  Journal titles are generally abbreviated according to the list of title word abbreviations maintained by the ISSN International Centre.

− The author responsible for the submission must inform whether the manuscript cites the data,

software codes and other materials underlying the articles. If so, the respective URLs must be

informed; otherwise, the author must justify himself. For this, SciELO recommends the use of the Open Science Compliance Form that must be submitted as a supplementary file to the

manuscript and accessible to peer reviewers;

 

The initial manuscript evaluations and later that of the associate editors and referees are

requested to check the availability of data, software codes and other materials following the

journal's evaluation guide and form.

 

The manuscript should be submitted electronically only in English, at https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/jatm-scielo. If there is any conflict of interest regarding the evaluation of the manuscript, the author must send a declaration indicating the reasons, so that the review process occurs fairly. The submissions are received continuously and processed as soon as possible so that they stay updated as to the results informed in the paper.

 

It is extremely important that all data about the authors are entered correctly at the time of submission. The data refer to the full name; affiliation with three instances (e.g.university/college/department); city, state and country. It is mandatory to adopt and inform the ORCID number of each author and to indicate the corresponding author with full postal address. The names of institutions must be in the native language (Portuguese; French; Germany etc.), except for those names that are not in Latin language (Russian; Chinese etc.), which should be translated into English.

 

Authors should provide a list of names and institutional e-mail addresses of four potential referees. The Journal retains the right to decide whether or not the suggested names are going to be used.

 

At the time of submission, the submitting author assumes that all other authors actively participated in the research and/or performed the final review and approval of the article.

 

 

After the approval of manuscript, the correspondence author will be contacted with instructions for Article Processing Charge (APC) contribution.
