The citations within the body of work must follow ABNT norms.

2.3 TEXT CITATION

The author should be quoted in parentheses by his surname, separated by a

comma from the date of publication (Barbosa, 1980). If the author's name is cited in the

4
South Florida Journal of Development, Miami, v.x, n.x. p.000-000, 2024. ISSN 2675-5459

text, only the date is indicated in parentheses: Morais (1995) indicates... In the case of
direct quotation (literal transcription of the original text), specify page(s), this(these)
must follow the date, separated by a comma and preceded by p. (Mumford, 1949,
p.513). Quotations of several works by the same author, published in the same year,
must be broken down by lower case letter after the date, without spacing (Peside,
1927a) (Peside, 1927b). When the work has two or three authors, it is separated by a
semicolon (Oliveira; Leonardo, 1943) and, when it has more than four authors, the first
one is indicated followed by the expression et al. (Gille et al., 1960). Citations up to 3
lines should come in quotation marks, followed by the author's name, date and page.
With more than three lines, they should come with 4 cm indent in the left margin,
smaller body (font10), simple space and without quotes, also followed by the author's name,
date and page. The quotes in foreign language must be presented in the same language of
the text and in the citation call present the indication our translation. In footnote present
the citation in its original language. Latin expressions (idem, ibdem, passim, loco citato,
and sequentia) as well as the expression confer (Cf.) cannot be used in citation calls in
the body of the text. The expressions apud and et al. can be used in the body of the text.
Below are some examples of quotes:

2.3.1 Direct quote with more than three lines

4 cm indentation
Font size 10
Single Spacing
A space of 1.5 should be left between the remainder of the text and the quote.
Alignment must be justified.
For example:
Harvey (1993, p. 112) adds to all this another factor,

[...] while opening a radical perspective by recognizing the authenticity of

other voices, postmodern thinking immediately seals these other voices from
access to more universal sources of power, circumscribing them in a ghetto
of opaque otherness, of the specificity of one or another language game.

2.3.2 Direct quote with less than three lines

According to Prunes (2000, v. 2, pp. 647-648) ‘the applicants’ lack of

conformity, supported by a technical expert report ...’.

2.3.3 Indirect citation

When an indirect citation is made, it is necessary to indicate, initially, the

author's last name and afterwards the date of publication of the work. It is not
mandatory to indicate the page of the quoted passage. Here are examples of indirect
citations with just one author:
For example:
According to Herculano (2021), the use of optimization techniques is fundamental
to generate organic traffic.
According to Herculano (2021, p. 409), content marketing consists, among other
things, in authoritative writing on the subject (example with page indication, which is
not mandatory).
Visibility on the internet is often generated by the investment in digital
marketing (Herculano, 2021).
In addition, the format of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards
should be followed. In relation to the ABNT, the indirect citation differs considerably
from the direct citation, since it must be written "normally", that is, according to the rest
of the body of the text. See the list of standards:
Times New Roman font;
Size 12;
1,5 line spacing;
Insertion of the author's last name and year of publication of the work in
parentheses.
As we can see above, the indirect citation should be written as the rest of the
body of the text. The only difference is only the "addition" of the author's surname and
the year of publication of the work in parentheses.

2.3.4 Indirect quotation from two authors

When the citation is from several different authors, it is necessary to enter their
surnames separated by a semicolon and followed by the years of publication of the
work. The order of surnames should be chronological and ascending. Here’s how it
should be done:
For example:
According to several authors (Herculano, 1996; Netherlands, 2010), digital
marketing is important for growth...
Digital marketing helps companies grow (Herculano, 1996; Netherlands, 2010).

2.3.5 Indirect citation of various works

When the quote is from the same author, but from several different works, the
years must be separated by commas, as shown below.
For example:
Digital marketing can improve communication between brand and audience
(Herculano, 1996, 2016, 2018).
According to Herculano (1996, 2016, 2018), digital marketing is a good strategy
for advertising a new product.

2.3.6 Indirect quotation from more than four authors in the same work

When a work has more than four authors, it is recommended to use the
expression "et al." or "e col.", followed by the year of publication. This is to avoid
having to write the surnames of all the writings in the work.
For example:
According to Herculano et al. (2018) Social media publishing is a new way to
make a company more visible on the market.
Social media publishing involves inserting arts into the feed and stories
(Herculano et al, 2018).

2.3.7 Quotation from the author with more than one work published in the same
year

This kind of citation should be made when works published in different years
of the same author are cited.
Lowercase letters are used alphabetically from letter a, just after the date.
For example:
Social media makes businesses more visible (Herculano, 1998a).
According to Herculano (1998a, 1998b), social media makes businesses more
visible.

2.3.8 Numerical citation method

This is a method of citation indicated by numbers, as the name already says. See
the example below, according to the ABNT:
For example:
According to Herculano, digital marketing is a strategy capable of building a
qualified target audience for the brand (2);
According to Herculano, SEO strategies can help you grow a brand².

3 METHODOLOGY

The methodology of an article outlines the procedures employed to conduct the

research, including the type of study, sample selection, data collection and analysis
methods, ethical considerations, and limitations of the study. Its detailed and transparent
description is essential to guarantee the replicability and reliability of the results, in
addition to providing a solid basis for the interpretation and generalization of the
findings.

3.1 FORMULAS AND EQUATION

In the midst of a text, formulas and equations should be represented in line. A

larger spacing should be used to accommodate their elements (exponents, indices, and
others). When presented outside the paragraph, they should be left-aligned. If there are
8
South Florida Journal of Development, Miami, v.x, n.x. p.000-000, 2024. ISSN 2675-5459

multiple formulas or equations, they should be identified with sequential Arabic

numerals throughout the text and enclosed in parentheses ( ) at the right end of the line.
If formulas or equations are divided into multiple lines due to lack of space, they should
be interrupted before the equal sign "=" or after addition and subtraction signs.
Example equation:

(1)

where:

d(AB)= slope expressed as a percentage

dV= vertical distance (equidistance)
dH = horizontal distance

Example formulas:

(2)

3.2 MARKER

Markers are enumerative divisions referring to a period of the paragraph. The

following configuration:
a) the text preceding the first marker ends with a colon;
b) they begin at the paragraph indent and are written with normal spacing;
c) they are numbered with lowercase letters in alphabetical order, followed by a
closing parenthesis. If the number of bullets exceeds the number of letters in the
alphabet, use doubled letters: aa), ab), ac), etc;
d) the text of the marker begins with a lowercase letter, except if it begins with
proper names, and is closed with a semicolon, except for the last one, which is
closed with a period.
As in the example below:
a) markers are spaced at a left indentation of 0.75 by an offset of 1.25;

9
South Florida Journal of Development, Miami, v.x, n.x. p.000-000, 2024. ISSN 2675-5459

b) markers are spaced at a left indentation of 0.75 by an offset of 1.25;

c) markers are indented 0.75 to the left by an offset of 1.25.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The results and discussions of an article must be presented in a clear and

organized manner, based on the data collected and the analyzes carried out during the
study. Initially, the results must be presented in an objective and concise way, using
tables, graphs and statistics, if applicable, to highlight the main findings. Then, in the
discussion section, the results are interpreted in light of existing literature, highlighting
similarities, differences and implications for theory and practice.
Furthermore, limitations of the study and possible directions for future research
are discussed. It is essential that both the results and the discussion are based on solid
evidence and that they contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge on the
topic addressed.

5 CONCLUSION

The conclusion of an article should summarize the main findings of the study
succinctly, highlighting the significant contributions to the research field. It should
reiterate the objectives of the study and summarize the most important findings,
emphasizing their relevance and practical or theoretical implications.
