INFOCOMP Journal of Computer Science

Publication guidelines (updated in August of 2011)

1. INFOCOMP publishes original scientific and technological papers in English. The papers should be related to Computer Science.

2. The papers should be submitted in PDF format without authors’ informations using the JEMS system (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/infocomp) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). Login and password are necessary and they can be obtained on-line in the JEMS system.

3. The papers should follow the INFOCOMP format: Paper Letter (21.5x28.0cm), 1.1 line spacing, Times New Roman 10, justified text, with superior, inferior, left and right margins of 2.5 cm. The number of pages should not exceed 12. Papers with more than 12 pages may be accepted after analysis by the editorial board.

4. The first page should contain title, authors (only in the final version), abstract and keywords. Afterwards, it should contain the following text centralized: “(Received January 1st, 2005 / Accepted December 31st, 2005)” for posterior edition with the correct dates. These informations should not exceed one page and should be in one column. The title should be in font size 14.

6. The text of the paper should be formatted in two columns, separated by 0.5cm, with numerated sections and subsections. Examples are: 1. Introduction, 1.1. terminology. Figures and tables may occupy the page width, if necessary. The figure and table titles should be numerated and centralized below them.

7. The references should be numerated and listed in alphabetical order. Ex: [5] Hougardy, S. Even pairs and the strong perfect graph conjecture, Discrete Math. .154, p.277-288, 1996. Citations should be made based on the number of the reference. “In [5], it was proved that...” is an example of citation.

8. Footnotes may be accepted, when strongly necessary, for explanations that cannot be included in the text, such as: (a) name of the research institution; (b) support organizations and other financial supports; (c) reference to the publication as part of M.Sc. or PhD thesis; (d) personal communication.

9. The authors give the right of publishing and formatting the articles upon submission.

10. Non compliance with these rules will result in the non acceptance of the paper.

11. Publications in the INFOCOMP are free of charge.
