Subtitle is optional. The editorial committee strongly advises against long titles. Titles should be written in lowercase. (Obs.

These words should describe the article’s theme and its main issues. Composed terms can be used (ex. new museology). Keywords must be singular and, should they have dual gender, masculine gender is preferred. Keywords should be written in lowercase except for names, places and countries; and should be separated by commas. Biography of the author(s) (Mandatory for Articles and “Notações”)Articles should be accompanied of a short biography of the author (sent in a separate file) that should not exceed 100 words or 700 characters (including spaces). This short biographical statement should refer the most relevant information, such as research interests, academic background and institutional affiliation (research unit or workplace). Email address should be included if the author whishes to publish it in the article. References and quotesMIDAS adopts the author-date system of the Chicago Manual of Style (author, year, pages). Thus, footnote referencing should be avoided. See the following example:“The museum has always been a complex, contradictory site that is not always amenable to a reading based on a notion of power relations” (Witcomb 2003, 26).This quote refers to page 26 of the following book:Witcomb, Andrea. 2003. Re-imagining the museum: beyond the mausoleum. London: Routledge.In case of more than four authors use “et al”, ex: (Karp et al. 2006, 254).If, in the bibliography, there is more than one reference of the same author with the same year, a letter should be added after the year (ex. Witcomb 2003a).More examples:Several authors have discussed this theme (Sandell 1998, 2002; Sherman et al. 1994; Branco 2008).Clara Camacho (1999) studied the subjectThis strategy has been criticized by several authors (cf. Simpson 2007; Robertson 2005; Duarte 2009).When a quote has two or three text lines should be in the text between quotation marks or in italic. If the quote is longer it should be highlighted and separated from the main text, with a smaller font size and distinctive indentation. See the example:La nueva constituición [del ICOM] puede ser verdaderamente democrática [...], pero, afortunadamente, el ICOM se encuentra todavía en una fase inicial de su formación y dearollo [...]. Tan firmemente centralizada en París como está hoy, no tendría sentido elegir sus altos cargos entre quienes no dispongan de libertad para viajar a sus reuniones. El controlo práctico ha de estar forzosamente en manos de unos pocos entusiastas que disponen de ocasión y de ánimo para dedicarse a ese trabajo (Griggs 1951, 162).BibliographyReferences in the final bibliography.
