IMPORTANT: since August 2013 journal accepts only articles with a maximum of three (03) authors.  Furthermore, since October 2012, when the last Special Issue was published, this journal has not accepted manuscripts that have been published in full or that contain portions previously published in books or conference proceedings of any kind.

For thematic dossiers, the journal accepts articles that have been presented at scientific meetings, provided they have not been published in conference proceedings or equivalent publications. In such cases, the manuscripts will be subject to the journal's complete peer-review process.

Furthermore, if the thematic dossier is published in addition to, rather than in place of, the journal's regular continuous publication flow, the dossier editors must secure the necessary funding to cover the costs of article layout and typesetting. The cost varies according to the contract with the professional responsible for providing this service.

- The text must be accompanied by abstract in the original language and translated into two languages (English, French, Spanish or Portuguese, if this is not the original language), with at maximum 170 words, single-spaced, followed for 4 keywords identifying the contents of the text.

It is recommended to perform the review of article, abstracts and translations with professionals.

Important: The journal does not publish contributions by the same author (or co-author) in issues released less than one year apart (policy updated in 2026). This means that an author may submit a new manuscript to Ateliê Geográfico only after a minimum of one year has elapsed since the publication of their most recent article in the journal.

In addition, the peer-review process for a manuscript may take between 3 and 10 months, depending on the availability of reviewers with expertise in the manuscript's subject area.

- The structure of the text should be divided in parts not numbered and with captions. It is essential to include an introduction and conclusion or concluding remarks.

- Footnotes should not be used for references. This element can be used when absolutely necessary and each note can have up to around 3 lines.

- Citations and references follow the rules of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), which are exemplified at the end of these guidelines.

- The illustrations (figures, tables, pictures, graphics, photos etc.) should be sent in the same body of the file (JPEG, TIF or CDR), in color or black and white. The maximum dimensions, including caption and title, are those of A-4 format and should follow the norms of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) for citation.
