Original Articles (in Portuguese or English): for communicating original research. Articles should follow the usual form of presentation, including introduction, methodology, results, discussion and conclusions as appropriate for the work being submitted. They should have a maximum of 20 pages, including figures, tables, diagrams. All pages should be numbered following the template.
Review Articles (in Portuguese or English): for communicating progress in a specific field of Law, Public Policies and Human Sciences, with the objective of providing a critical account of the state of the art from the point of view of the highly qualified and experienced specialist. They should have a maximum of 40 pages, including figures, tables, diagrams. All pages should be numbered following the template. It is essential for authors to have publications in the field reviewed attesting their experience and qualification. Before submitting the manuscript, authors should send an e-mail to the editors with an abstract of the review and a letter explaining the relevance of the publication. The material will be examined by the editors and, once approved, authors will be requested to submit the full manuscript, according to JLPPHS guidelines. This manuscript will then be submitted to referees.
Interviews (in Portuguese or English): for communicating interviews linked to one of the subjects of the interest of Journal of Law, Public Policies, and Human Sciences. The interview should have a maximum of 20 questions or 15 pages. The person who is going to be interviewed does not necessarily need to be a researcher. It may be another person since the subject to be discussed shows relevance in the field of science. All pages should be numbered following the template.

For instance, a Short Communication may focus on a particular aspect of a problem or a new finding that is expected to have a significant impact. Short articles include, but are not limited to: discovery or development of new materials, cutting-edge experiments and theory, novelty in simulation and modeling, elucidation of mechanisms. Short Communications are limited to 3000 words and are not subdivided. The paper should contain an abstract, main body and references, and contain no more than 6 figures or tables, combined.
