Essential information for paper submission

Type of Submission

The manuscript must indicate, before the title, the category under which it falls among those accepted by Cadernos de Linguística. This indication is mandatory and must appear explicitly, in an isolated line at the beginning of the text, for example: Type of Submission: Research Report.

About the Author(s)

For each listed author, include the following information: academic degree, full institutional affiliation, department, city, state, e-mail, ORCID iD, and—in the case of coauthorship—the specific contribution of each author according to the CRediT taxonomy.

Conflict of Interest

If any author has conflicts of interest, these must be declared. Information on conflicts of interest is available in the journal’s Conflict of Interest Policy. If there are no conflicts to declare, please include the following statement at the end of the text, before the References, under the title Conflict of Interest: The author(s) declare no conflicts of interest.

Preprint Link

Manuscripts submitted to CadLin must be previously deposited in a preprint server that supports public commenting. The preprint DOI must be provided at the end of the text, before the References, under the title Preprint Link.

Data Availability Statement

Abralin journals require authors to make all data, code, and materials necessary to replicate the reported study publicly and freely available. When legal or ethical restrictions prevent public sharing, authors must specify how others can obtain access to the data. Authors must include a Data Availability Statement indicating where to access data, code, and materials associated with the manuscript, including DOIs. Studies using data should ideally follow a pre-defined data management plan. We recommend using the DMPTool to develop an effective data management plan. The statement must be placed at the end of the manuscript, before the References, under the title Data Availability Statement.

Examples of Data Availability Statements:

• Data sharing is not applicable to this article, as no new data were created or analyzed in this study.
• The data, code, and materials supporting the findings of this study are available as “supplementary files” on the Cadernos de Linguística website.
• The data, code, and materials supporting the findings of this study are available for consultation only at [website], via [links/URLs], but cannot be reused [explain].
• The data, code, and materials supporting the findings of this study are openly available in [repository name] at http://doi.org/[doi]. These data were derived from the following publicly available resources: [list resources/URLs] [if applicable].
• The data, code, and materials supporting the findings of this study are openly available in [repository name] at http://doi.org/[doi] in a machine-readable format. These data were derived from the following publicly available resources: [list resources/URLs] [if applicable].

AI Use Statement

Authors must include a mandatory statement on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in their manuscript. This statement must appear at the end of the text, before the References, under the title “AI Use Statement”.

If AI tools were used, authors must provide the following details:

• Name of the AI tool or model used.
• Purpose of AI use (e.g., text review and refinement—grammar, clarity, conciseness—structuring suggestions, reference formatting, data analysis or processing, code generation for data analysis, literature review assistance, etc.).
• Extent of AI contribution to the work.

Example statement:
“During the preparation of this work, the authors used [AI Tool Name] for [specific purpose, e.g., grammatical review and reference formatting], with [minimal/moderate/substantial] contribution. All content was reviewed and edited by the authors, who take full responsibility for the manuscript.”

Prompts used in research and manuscript preparation must be shared publicly, and the link must be included in the “Data Availability Statement.”

If no AI tools were used, authors must include the following statement:
“The authors declare that no AI tools were used in the creation of this manuscript or in any part of the work reported.”

This requirement ensures transparency in AI use and preserves the integrity of academic research. Authors remain fully responsible for the content of their manuscripts regardless of AI assistance.

For more information, see the AI Use Guidelines.

Ethics (if applicable)

Studies involving human participants must have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee, and authors must include a statement in the article text detailing this approval, including the name of the ethics committee and the approval reference number. Participant identities must be anonymized whenever possible. For human subject research, informed consent to participate must be obtained from participants (or their legal guardians).

Study Preregistration (if applicable)

When submitting the manuscript, authors must indicate whether the research was preregistered in an independent institutional repository. If preregistered, specify whether it included an analysis plan. Authors must confirm that the study was registered before data collection, including links to the dated preregistration(s). If changes were made to the analysis plan after preregistration, these must be explained, clearly distinguishing preregistered analyses from exploratory ones, and maintaining separate sections for confirmatory and exploratory results.

This information must be provided at the end of the text, before the References, under the title Study Preregistration.

Funding Sources (if applicable)

Authors must declare the funding support received for their research. The funding statement acknowledges the contributions of funders, fulfills funding requirements, and promotes transparency in research processes. Clearly indicate the funding agency and grant number. Graduate students submitting work derived from theses/dissertations must specify the funding agency providing the scholarship both in the submission form and in this section.

Reporting Transparency (strong recommendation)

Cadernos de Linguística strongly recommends that authors use reporting checklists appropriate to the type of study (e.g., STROBE, COREQ, PRISMA, SRQR, TIDieR) to enhance clarity, comparability, and reproducibility. These tools help ensure that key methodological and analytical elements are reported transparently. Detailed guidance, examples, and links to official checklists are available on the page: Reporting Transparency and Checklists.
