The CES Collection accepts proposals for publication throughout the year or in through calls that may be specifically launched for this purpose. The manuscripts may be written in Portuguese or in English and should have a maximum of 700 thousand characters with spaces.

To formalise a proposal, it is necessary to fill in the form that you can find here and send it to the Collection’s e-mail (colecao-ces@ces.uc.pt), together with at least one sample chapter of the manuscript in Word version.

The submissions will be evaluated by the Editorial Board of the Collection, which will try to find a balance in the representation of the various scientific areas. If the proposal is accepted by the Editorial Board, the author will have to send  the complete and anonymised version of the manuscript (with no indication of authorship or other elements that could lead to the identification of the author) up to 6 months after this communication, so it can follow for evaluation in a double-blind peer review system.

The manuscript should be revised by the author according to the reviewers’ recommendations. Changes should be visible using the “Track Changes” tool of Word. The revised version of the manuscript must be submitted to the Collection’s e-mail address and will be evaluated by the Editorial Board.

Once the work is formally accepted for publication in the Collection, the final version shall be formatted in accordance with the instructions indicated in the Publication guidelines and submitted to the Collection’s e-mail address. If otherwise, the manuscript will not be forwarded to the Coimbra University Press.
