- Sapiens – “Sessões de aprimoramento de artigos científicos para publicação” The submission of papers can only be done online.
- • Paper submission is free. However, if the paper is accepted for presentation at SemeAd, one of the authors must register as a conference participant. The registration fee for the event will be announced on 9/12, at the beginning of the registration period.
• The works must be unpublished.
• Works in progress are accepted that have already been presented at conferences other than SemeAd but have not been submitted and/or published in scientific journals.
• Papers can be submitted in one of four (4) ways and in the format of an academic article: (1) theoretical, papers aimed at reviewing, discussing, and developing theories on a given topic; (2) theoretical-empirical, works anchored in a theoretical problem (gap or contradiction in the theory) and that carry out empirical research using inductive logic (propositions) or deductive logic (hypotheses), applying qualitative or quantitative methods. Proposes a breakthrough in theory; (3) applied articles, works that employ theoretical models to reveal knowledge about organizations or groups of organizations (sectors or networks) or develop and/or test management models for organizations; and (4) teaching cases, works with educational objectives that focus on organizational situations or problems, developed as classroom activities.
• Papers can be submitted in Portuguese or English.
• The works cannot contain any identification or indication of authorship in the “property” field or in the body of the work.
• Papers must be submitted in PDF format files.
• Each work can have a maximum of five (5) authors.
• Each author can submit up to three (3) works between the modalities of theoretical articles, applied articles, and teaching cases and one (1) thesis project for the activity of the Doctoral Consortium.
• Authors must register in the SemeAd system. For registration, authors must have the CPF number of each of the Brazilian authors in hand. For foreign authors, there is a specific procedure.
• Changes in the authors’ data (inclusion, exclusion, and change in the order of authorship) can only be made until the submission deadline.
• The author responsible for the submission must indicate the co-authorship of the other authors. After completing the submission process, co-authors will receive an email to confirm co-authorship. Authors who do not confirm their co-authorship in the system will not be listed in the annals of the event.
