Guideline for Work Development

The work to be developed should be a short argumentative speech on a single theme and
restricted. At least 10 pages, at most 25 pages.

This script is intended to guide the student in the preparation of scientific work according to
the NBR 6029 standard from the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards - ABNT, which deals with
formatting of theses.

The work must have the following elements:

Cover
On plain paper, softcover or cardstock or even binding. The cover must contain
the basic textual elements, namely:
•Nome da instituição a que está vinculado o curso;
•Title of the work, centered and in uppercase;
Author's name, right below the title, only the initial capitalized;
•In the footer, location and year.

Blank sheet
Also called false leaf, it serves as protection and often brings sometimes
only the title of the work;
Cover page
Also known as the title page or frontispiece, it contains all the elements
essentials contained in the cover. It brings, additionally, to the right and below the author's name, in
smaller font or bold, the following data:
This work constitutes a necessary requirement for
conclusion of the Course <COURSE NAME>

The cataloging record must appear on the back of the title page when required.
name of the reviewer and the typist. In our work it will not be required because it is not about
from the publication of a book.

Acknowledgments and/or dedications and/or epigraph

All optional. However, if they are included, they must appear respectively in the document.
nova.
Ex.:
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I thank the presentation of the people and/or institutions to whom one
make the acknowledgments.
Ex.:
DEDICATION
I dedicate to <presentation of the people and/or institutions to whom
make the dedication.
Ex.:
EPIGRAPH
To navigate is essential.
Living is not necessary.

Approval page
Page that contains the following textual elements:

This work will be evaluated by a panel.

Examiner constituted by the following
teachers:
<Type the names of the committee members>

List of illustrations: tables, charts, and graphs

It is recommended to relate the most relevant ones that add something more to the text. It is
more didactic and interesting, distribute them throughout the chapters.

List of abbreviations
When there is a reasonable amount of abbreviations, place them on a new page. When
there are quite a number of abbreviations (for example: about ten abbreviations)
how much a small number (for example: about three abbreviations), say what it means
the abbreviation in the first reference made to it in the text. One can still,
to make use of footnotes to refer to abbreviations.

Example:
The Brazilian Association of Technical Standards - ABNT....

In this way, in the other references, we only write: The ABNT (...). without the
need to explain what the abbreviation means.

Summary
Do not confuse with index. Summary is a page that presents the main divisions,
sections and chapters of the work and respective page.
Although still much used, but improperly by the authors and publishers, index is a
detailed list of subjects, names of people, geographic names, events
etc., with an indication of its location in the text and appears at the end of technical books and
scientists.

Summary
Written in vernacular language and in another language, usually in English, French or
Spanish, it is a concise presentation of the content. Attention: In our works
you prepare the summary in Portuguese. If you want, you can also do it in another
language. It is up to you to choose between English, French or Spanish.
Text
This refers to the actual development of the work. It consists of three parts.
logical, indispensable, that is:
a) Introduction — It is a prologue where arguments are made about the chosen theme, about the
objectives and how the study is intended to be developed. It is often said that a
a good justification presented in the project is an introduction;
b) Body of the work - It may consist of chapters, parts, or topics, and
consists of the description of the specific theme for study, which can be a "problem",
that is, a social phenomenon or a theory, and/or a case study etc;
c) Conclusion — Part of the work that concludes and contains the deductions regarding the
topic studied and researched. Sometimes, the conclusion is a synthesis of everything that was
addressed throughout the development of the body of work.

Example:
Citations, quotes, and footnotes
Textual citations serve to give greater clarity and authority to the text,
connecting the ideas presented with ideas defended in other works and by others
authors.
There is a standard that specifically addresses textual citations. The ABNT-NBR
The norm states that a citation is information gathered from another source, and must
to live in quotes and the requirement to indicate the complete data of the sources from which they were
extracted, whether in the text, in the footnote, or, still, in a list at the end of the text.

Citation systems: alphabetical and numerical

We have two citation systems: the alphabetical system and the numerical system.
In the alphabetical system, the author's name has only the capital initial, followed by the
publication date of the work that comes in parentheses.
Example: In Borges's words (1998), the OMT method is '........................'.

In the numerical system, citations must have the numbering represented in digits.
Arabic. In monographs, it is advisable to start and finish the work sequentially.
Normally, the number comes in parentheses, in brackets, or located slightly
above the line of the text, superscripted, always placed after the punctuation that closes the
citation. This number, known as a call, is intended to draw attention
to the reader for the footnote, where the source is provided or explanations are given.
Example: "For a robot, all reality is virtual." (1)

The numerical citation is recommended and will be adopted in our work. Next,
more technical details about the numerical system:

a) Author's first and last name (only the initial capital letter, period, and two spaces);
**Title of the work**.
c) Edition number (from the second edition onwards, a period and two spaces);
d) Local (two points, one space);
e) Publisher (comma and a space);

3/8
f) Year (point and two spaces);
g) Page from which the quote was taken (point).

Example:
(1) Odília [Link] de metodologia. São Paulo: Atlas, 1994. p. 64.

Footnotes
Footnotes should always be on the same page as the citation, and when they do not indicate the
sources serve to provide further explanations.
The first textual citation of a work must have its complete reference. However, the
the following can adopt abbreviated forms. For their indication, they can be placed
referential words in Latin:
Ibidem or ibid. = in the same work;
Same as previous;
•infra or inf. = below (referring to the immediately lower grade);
opus citatum or op. cit. = work already cited previously;
here and there
sequence or seq. = next or that which follows;
supra = above (referring to the immediately prior note);
apud = second (citation of citation).

Example: Borges cited by Jacobson

Below is an example of a citation, its reference, and a footnote.

Text analysis is today a specialized activity of linguistics and

literature. But your goals in these areas go beyond those of the student and even
even the researcher who makes use of it in the documentation phase and of
formatting of the theoretical reference framework of your research.

of a systematization, like novels and poems.
A text can be divided:
•Primary sections, called Chapters — At the top of the page start
with the words CHAPTER I and right below the chapter title, in uppercase and
preceded by the Arabic numeral.
Example: 1 AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
•Subsections; Only the initial capital letter, in bold, preceded by the numeral
Arabic.
Example: 1.1 Life of the population
Continue in the same way: 1.2, 1.2.1
Capítulo II; 2 , 2.1 , 2.1.1

Note that a period is not used after the last digit, only two spaces.
