Instructions and paper template for the XXX Meeting of the Brazilian Acoustics Society (Sobrac)

Abstract

This document contains instructions for writing papers for the XXX Meeting of the Brazilian Society of Acoustics (Sobrac). This field is intended for the abstract of the article, which must contain between 180 and 300 words. The elements resumo, palavras-chave, title, abstract, and keywords should constitute the first page (i.e., avoid extending them to the second page). The abstract should make a concise presentation of the scientific-technical article, containing an introduction, the objective, a synthesis of the methodology, the main result, and the final conclusion (preferably in that order). Separate items or sections are not required within the abstract. Thus, the reader may acknowledge the essence of the article content. Remember that the abstract is like a movie trailer, people will consider reading the complete article if the abstract is interesting. The abstract should not contain new information not contained within the article; undefined abbreviations; previous discussion of another literature; references and citations; or excessive detail about the methods employed. It is also not the introductory paragraph of the work; this should be placed at the beginning of the text. Use only relevant and useful information, exercising empathy with prospective readers. For a cohesive and elegant abstract that represents the article, write a preview, complete the paper, and then review it by looking at whether its content consistently reflects the content of the document. Following the abstract, the author should list up to five keywords (avoid using the same words contained in the article’s title). After this step, there are also title, abstract, and keywords in English.
