Author’s Guidelines

The manuscripts submitted to the ReBiblica journal, even after having been evaluated, reviewed and published, are entirely the authors' responsibility.

The researches may have been authored by one who holds either a Master’s or Doctor’s degree, and/or co-authored; Master’s students may only submit manuscripts in co-authorship with Doctors.

The manuscript must be unpublished and may either be original researches or review papers. In case of plagiarism, the author must publicly retract it in the following journal issue.

Once the manuscript, be it an article or a review, has been submitted to ReBiblica, it must not be simultaneously submitted to any other journal, which may only happen in case the manuscript has been returned by ReBiblica or the author explicitly gave up publishing it.

The submissions and further information on the evaluation process, review and publishing of the manuscripts will be held at the journal website http://revistarebiblica.teo.puc-rio.br/index.php/rebiblica/index. For further information, please contact us through the following email address <pesquisasemteologia@puc-rio.br>.

In ReBiblica we publish theology scientific texts that comply with its scope and aims as long as they have been approved in the submission process which goes through pre-evaluation, peer review and either the editor's or the editorial Committee member’s final written opinions.

The submissions must contain: 8 to 12 pages, in case of articles; 2 to 5 pages, in case of reviews which must be of works published in the last five years.

The paper size must be A4.

The margin properties of the text must be: top and bottom 3.0 cm; left and right 2.5 cm.

Single space between lines, 0 cm before and after each paragraph which must have 1.0 cm indented in the first line (indentation).

Font type must be Times New Roman, size 11 in the body of the text and size 9 for the footnotes.

Long quotations (three or more lines) must be size 10, should be placed without quotation marks, with 1.0 cm indent to the left.

For specific font of words or quotations either in Greek or Hebrew, contact the journal secretary to check the fonts used by the journal.

The title and in case there is a subtitle must be both aligned to the right, in Times New Roman boldfaced type, title size 18 and subtitle size 16.

Title and subtitle must be separated by semicolon (:).

The review title is the complete reference of the analysed work which must be aligned to the right.

After the title and subtitle are written in the original language of the article (which may be Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, German or Italian), they must be translated into English (in case it is not the original language). In case the original language is English, it is expected the title and subtitle to be translated into Portuguese.

The name of the author of the manuscript, be it an article or a review, will be shown twice: at the beginning of the text, below the title-subtitle, aligned to the right, in Times New Roman, size 12; and also at the end of the text, aligned to the right, in Times New Roman boldfaced italicized, size 12.

The abstract must have 150 to 200 words and maximum 5 keywords.

Both the abstract and the keywords must be translated into English, and in case it is originally in English, it is expected to be translated into Portuguese.

The text body must have: an Introduction; and its headings and subheadings identified by Arabic numbers separated  by numbers and dots. For instance: 1. / 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.2.1 / 1.2.2 /…At the end of each section skip one line. At the end, conclusion.

Bibliographical references must address every directly or indirectly citation made in the body of the article and should be mentioned in alphabetical order.

After the name of the author at the end of the text, each piece of the following information should be given in a single line, aligned to the right: the name of the author in bold and italics; the highest author’s title and the corresponding education institution that issued it; the affiliation and role at the institution (in case of co-authorship being a professor and/or researcher); the city, Zip code and the country of the institution to which the author is affiliated; email address for further contact.

The bibliographical references at the footnote and also at the end of the text must be made according to NBR 6023, but with adaptions established at “PUC-Rio Graduation Guidelines” as in the following examples:

General Guidelines for citation

Do not use the expression “cf.” to indicate “confirm”, neither in the body of the text nor in the bibliographical notes. Furthermore, do not use the expressions “Idem”, “Ibidem”, “et seq.” or “sequentia”, “op. cit.”, “passim”, “loc. cit.”, in such cases, provide the repeated and/or complete information.

The first time the citation is made, it is unnecessary to write the reference at its full form in the bibliographical note. Instead, use the abbreviated citation in the bibliographical notes and the complete one only in the bibliographical references.

Use in both the bibliographical notes as well as the bibliographical references, the last name(s) of the author(s), in upper case, followed by the abbreviated name, always in this order.

Regarding the titles and subtitles in the bibliographical references, only the title must be in bold. The subtitle is not boldfaced. The element that divides the title and the subtitle (“:” or “.") must be kept as in the cited work. In the bibliographical notes, indicate only the title without bold.
