ABNT Standards

1. Citations (NBR-10520, from 2002)

1.1 Direct quote (textual): it means that the author's words are quoted.

1.1.1 Short quotations (up to three lines). Examples:

a) According to Almeida Filho (2005, p. 93), "there are 6 formants of the approach construct that are somehow equated in each teaching / learning case".

b) [In parentheses, the name must be in capital letters.] "there are 6 formants of the approach construct that are somehow equated in each teaching / learning case" (ALMEIDA FILHO, 2005, p. 93).

c) Names of authors outside parentheses: two authors: ... Binon and Verlinde (2000, p. 129); three authors: ... Abaurre, Mayrink-Sabinson and Fiad (2003, p. 302); more than three authors: ... Binon et al. (2008, p. 117)

d) Names of authors in parentheses (semicolons are used): two authors: ... (BINON; VERLINDE, 2000, p. 129); three authors: ... (ABAURRE; MAYRINK-SABINSON; FIAD, 2003, p. 302); more than three authors: ... (BINON et al., 2008, p. 117).

1.1.2 Quotations of more than three lines (indented, in smaller type [11]). The authors' names are placed in parentheses after the citation. See 1.1.1 (b) and (d). Example:

A survey of the investigations carried out on incidental and intentional learning of the lexicon, both in L1 and in L2, seems to indicate that there is a continuum between the two, without a precise border where one begins and the other ends. Incidental learning, by definition, should take place automatically, below the level of consciousness, but it is usually not so. (LEFFA, 2000, p. 33)


1.2 Indirect (free) citation: it means that ideas, opinions or information from the author (s) are reproduced without literally transcribing the text. The same form of presentation as in 1.1. Examples:

a) According to Leffa (2000, p. 33), incidental learning does not normally occur automatically.

b) There is no precise boundary between incidental and intentional learning of the lexicon (LEFFA, 2000, p. 33).

Having found the same ideas, opinions and information in more than one source, the authors should be cited - in parentheses - in alphabetical order, separated by semicolons. Examples: (BLOOME, 1983; WALLACE, 1993). Note that in this case there is a semicolon between both authors of the same text and between authors of different texts (for example: BLACHOWICZ; FISHER, 2002; MCCARTHY, 1990; SCHMITT, 1997). Names can be preceded by "cf.": (cf. BLOOME, 1983; WALLACE, 1993). Citation of several authors outside parentheses; example: According to Blachowicz and Fisher (2002), McCarthy (1990) and Schmitt (1997), ....

1.3 Citation quotation: it means that the original document has not been read, having found a quotation in a read document. The words or expressions "apud", "quoted by", "conform" or "second" can be used, but we prefer "apud". Example:

a) Fishman (1972, apud BORTONI, 1981, p. 56) ...;

b) Weinrich (1966, p. 24, apud SZENDE, 1996, p. 111); [in parentheses] ... (WEINRICH, 1966, p. 24, apud SZENDE, 1996, p. 111).

The bibliographic data of the original document can be indicated in a footnote or in the bibliographic references. If the second solution is chosen, the original text data must be indicated followed by "apud" and the read text data (whose data will be indicated in their place in alphabetical order).

Observation: According to ABNT, the indication of pages in free citations is optional. We request that, as far as possible, both in direct and indirect citations the pages be indicated. This aims to enable the reader to easily find the excerpts cited if he wants to check the original.

2. Bibliographic references (NBR-6023, from 2002)

Details:

Authors last names: Last names are considered: simple surname (KOCH); surnames connected by a hyphen (SERRANI-INFANTI); surname + word meaning kinship (ALMEIDA FILHO); noun + adjective (CASTELO BRANCO). In the case of Spanish-speaking authors, the last two surnames are used (unless the author uses only one).

Several authors: two or three: separated by semicolons; more than three: only the first is indicated, followed by "et al.".

Editor (s) / Organizer (s) / Coordinator (s): after the name (s), write "(Ed.).", "(Org.)." or "(Coord.).".

Title: of article or chapter: typed in normal body; book or magazine: typed in italics.

Edition number: indicate the edition of a publication (from the second), using the language of the publication: 3. ed. (Portuguese Spanish); 2nd ed. (English); 2e ed. (French); 2. Aufl. (German); 2nd ed. (Italian).

Place of publication and publisher: Examples:

a) Brasília: Thesaurus

b) (state is indicated when the city name exists in more than one) Campo Grande, MS: Ed. UFMS

c) (with two publishers) Campo Grande, MS: Ed. UFMS; Sao Paulo: Humanitas
