– Bibliographic references must be cited throughout the text according to the (author-date) system, and presented in alphabetical order at the end of the paper, in accordance with APA or ABNT/NBR-6023 standards.
Suggested Structure of the Project (PDF file) for both categories (1 and 2):
Header (centered on the first page): Title, Research Topic (follow the description of SemeAd thematic areas), and Category (1 or 2)
Following on the first page:
1) Introduction:
1.1 Research Problem and Objective:
- Contextualize and describe the state of the art of the topic.
- Present the main research objective (the thesis to be defended) and any specific objectives.
- Present the research problem in an argumentative manner.
1.2 Justification/Expected Contributions:
- Present, in a well-founded manner, the expected academic contribution(s).
- Present any managerial or public policy contribution (strongly recommended, but not required).
- Present any methodological contribution (not required).
- Present the expected social impact of your project (strongly recommended, but not required).
2) Theoretical Framework:
- Present the main theoretical argument(s).
- Foundation and definition of the project’s key constructs.
- Conceptual model, propositions, and/or hypotheses.
3) Methodology: describe the research design
- Approach (e.g.: qualitative, quantitative).
- Research method or strategy (e.g.: Primary Data Collection, Case Study, Grounded Theory, etc.).
- Data collection technique (e.g.: Survey, In-depth Interview, Observation, etc.).
- Data analysis technique (e.g.: Multivariate Analysis, Content Analysis, Discourse Analysis, etc.).
4) Bibliographic References.
Information on the submission page:
-
- Title (maximum 190 characters);
- Three Keywords
- Area (Doctoral Consortium)
- Topic (select according to the project’s adherence)
- Project Category (Pre-Qualification Stage or Post-Qualification Stage according to the proposal stage)
- Language (Portuguese, English, or Spanish)
- Use of AI tools? (Yes or No. If Yes, purpose and names of the tools)
- Abstract (maximum 1200 characters)
- Acknowledgment to funding agency (optional)
- Authors (in addition to the PhD student, the advisor may be included as a co-author, which does not affect the 3-traditional-paper submission limit – scientific articles)
Papers that are not in the specified format will not be accepted.
The submission of the abstract and the project grants the organizers permission to send them to the leaders and reviewers who will compose the panel. In turn, papers from the Doctoral Consortium will not be part of the Event Proceedings.
Registration and presentation of papers at the Doctoral Consortium will allow the PhD student access to article presentation sessions. Presentation certificates will be available in the SemeAd system after the event takes place.
