Below are some guidelines to format text citations:

Quote

Common types of citations

• Literal quote: When the citation does not exceed 40 words, put the text in quotes and then immediately, without comma or point, open parenthesis, indicating the last name of each author, year of publication and page. Close parentheses and place point. Do not use capital letters or italics.

Example: "In the operative group dynamics, we emphasize the intertwining of external task and internal task" (Silva & Souza, 2002, p. 6).

When the quotation is literal and greater than 40 words, there will be a paragraph space before and after the quoted text. Place the passage quoted without quotation marks, in Times New Roman, size 09, one space, obeying an inner margin (indented text) equivalent to 05 spaces (0.6 cm) for the entire block quoted. If the authors' names are already mentioned in the paragraph, indicate the page right after the quote.

Example: As recall Silva & Souza (2002):

In the operative group dynamics, we emphasize the intertwining of external task and internal task, pointing out that the object of analysis is all that creates resistance to the development of the external task. That is, we take here the guideline already pointed out by Berger that, if there is resistance and transfer in all, in the operative group the transfer to be analyzed is limited to those that appear in the internal task (p. 6).

• Conceptual Quote: Last names of authors and year of publication.

Two examples:

(1) Souza (2002) emphasizes the intertwining of external and internal tasks in the operative group.

(2) It is important to emphasize the intertwining of external and internal tasks in the operative groups (Silva & Souza, 2002)

Number of authors

1. Quote from a single author: author's last name (date). Example: Souza (2002)

When there is more than one author with the same name, in the References, it can be used the form "last name, first name abbreviated (date)" to differentiate between them.

2. Two authors

The last names should come in all citations, using "and" when in the body of the text and using "&" when inside parentheses or in the reference list.

Examples:

(1) The studies of Silva e Souza (2002) focus on operative groups.

(2) The operative groups maintain an interrelationship between external and internal tasks (Silva & Souza, 2002).

3. Three to five authors

The last names of all authors should be shown the first time the citation appears, as in the example above. From the second citation on, every first time it appears in the same paragraph, only the last name of the first author is cited, followed by "et al." and the year of publication.

Examples:

(1) The studies of Souza, Silva and Pena (2002) focus on the operative groups. (First time it is mentioned in the text).

(2) Souza et al. (2002) found that... (Second time it is quoted in the text, but first within the paragraph).

(3) Souza et al. (Subsequent citations within the same paragraph).

Exception: If the short form lead to confusion between two references, all authors should be mentioned. All names should be included in the references.

(4) Six or more authors

Since the first time they appear in the text, only the first author's last name is mentioned, followed by "et al.", unless it causes ambiguity. In this case it should be adopted the same solution of the previous item. Example: Souza et al. (2002). All names should be included in the References.

(5) Quote of work discussed in a secondary source

It occurs when the author uses a source displayed in another text, without having read the original article. For example, a study by Silva quoted by Souza, 2002. The citation form is: Silva (quoted by Souza, 2002). In the References it is included only the source consulted.

(6) Citation of ancient works that receive new editions.

It is followed the form: Last name of author (date of first issue/date of edition used). Example: Souza (1890/2002).

(7) Quote of personal communication and speech interviews

Should be included only if relevant to the argument and on respect for intellectual production. In this case, the text will come, but not in the references. Example: M.V. Silva (personal communication, November 9, 2005). The quotes from speeches of respondents follow the same specifications made for quotation of the author, except that will come in italics.

(8) Organization as author: Quote as the items on the author. Example: Institution (date).

(9) Without specifying author: Name of text (date)

(10) Without specifying date: Last name of Author (s / d).

(11) Editor as author or organizer: organizer last name, initial of first name (date).

References

References should be listed at the end of the article in alphabetical order following the APA. The veracity of the information contained in the list of references is the responsibility of the author. For names of authors, use only the first letter capitalized and the rest lowercase (eg, Silva, M.V. & Afonso, M.L.M.). Normal or italic fonts are used to differentiate the work published in the vehicle, as the examples below.
