Author Guidelines

I – General aspects

1. Móin-Móin magazine is a biannual publication. Scheduled for publication in July and December of each year.

2. The magazine is run by the Editorial composed of the Editors-managers, Editors and Advisory Committee. The Editors-managers are responsible for defining editorial policies, supervising the entire editorial process and prospecting sources of funding for the magazine. The choice of approaches established within the scope of dossiers is also up to the managing editors, with the help of the Advisory Committee. Editors designate referees for submissions, communicate with authors, manage indexers, apply standards and editorial regulations, and ensure correct compliance with grammatical review and maintaining editorial uniformity.

3. The Móin-Móin Magazine publishes, exclusively, unpublished texts - articles, reports, translations, interviews - resulting from research, studies, debates, artistic and scientific practices in the area of Theater of Animation / Animated Forms and associated fields. 

4. Submission Categories

a) Dossier: this section is composed of unpublished articles, reports, interviews and relevant translations to the thematic area of the magazine and the referred dossier, whose theme will be defined by the Editors and Editorial Board.

Ps.: When submitting an article for this section, the author must correctly select the chosen dossier. (Check out the dossiers with open calls here)

- Reports and Interviews: Include unpublished documents that describe and analyze practices and experiences, with critical reflection (may also include visual, sound, iconographic, artistic, and oral documents, collection memorials, among others) interviews with researchers and artists.

- Translations: Include unpublished translations that are linked to the Thematic Dossier.

b) Articles:  this section is composed of unpublished articles, relevant to the thematic of the magazine (and different from the dossier theme), derived from artistic and/or academic research experiences.

5. Each article may contain images, tables and / or graphics, properly identified, according to the rules of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT).

6. Texts can be written in Portuguese or Spanish. The magazine also accepts originals in other languages from foreign authors and provides Portuguese versions for bilingual publication.

7. The author(s) should, preferably, have the title of doctor, is accepted, however, doctoral students, masters and master students, and the latter should, preferably, publish together with a doctor. Artists recognized by their peers in their area of activity can also publish articles and/or reports in the magazine, even if they do not have an academic degree, or have just graduated. With that, we started to recognize the artist who has a theoretical/practical domain valued in his artistic universe.

8. We strongly recommend - That authors consult our Previous Editions, in order to map and reference at least one article, or interview or iconography in the text to be submitted to Móin Móin. We believe that this action - to encourage consultation and dissemination of previous texts published by Móin Móin - streamlines and gives visibility to our online collection. 

9. At the time of submission, the author must inform, obligatorily, his degree and the institution where he obtained the title, containing function, city, country and e-mail and fill in the ORCID.

II – Peer Review

10. As long as they attend the formal specifications listed below, the contribution proposals (articles, reports, translations and interviews) will undergo an initial screening, made by Móin-Móin Editorial.

11. Passing through this initial screening, the contribution proposals will enter the merit evaluation process, during which they will be submitted to two ad hoc reviewers (specialists in the area or themes in question). The evaluation process will protect the anonymity between reviewers and authors.

12. The reviews and proposals for contributions will be appreciated, jointly, by the editors. If there are conflicting reviews, a third ad hoc referee will be used. This appreciation will result in the approval or disapproval of the contribution proposal and, eventually, the request to the author of reformulations that answered the criticisms and suggestions of the referees. If such a reformulation request occurs, the author will have 15 days to submit a new version of the contribution proposal, which will be evaluated again by the Editorial and, eventually, by the referees who suggested the changes.

13. Every two years, the Editorial will make a balance of the income of the members of the Committee of Referees, taking into account aspects such as: availability to attend the demands of the Editorial; agility in issuing reviews; quality of the reviews issued; eventuals contributions to editorial policy; maintenance of the personal Lattes curriculum updated. Referees who receive an indication of low performance may be automatically disqualified.
