Template: LaTeX

Formatting rules:

All papers should be submitted in print image files according to the formats contained in instructions to the authors since RITA has a special page size that is reflected in the total number of pages of the paper. For the final version, the authors should send the originals, prepared in Latex, because the preparation of the originals for the electronic printing will be performed locally, with the insertion of page numbering and consequent generation of the print files. It is recommended, however, to observe the structures and instructions below for the initial preparation of the articles even before the specific RITA formats are applied. - The sequence of topics: - Title of the Article or Case Study. - Full names of the authors (electronic addresses and place of activity should be placed in a footnote). - Indicative Abstract in English, with up to 200 words, followed by Keywords. - Text including illustrations (pictures, photos, models, maps, drawings, engravings, diagrams, charts, and tables), with their respective titles and sources; - Figures and tables must be numbered. Figures should be included in the text close to the citation point, without title included; the title should be in the text. Images can be included in the text body or sent as separate .gif, .tiff, etc files, and their position should be indicated in the text. - Acknowledgments and references to funding institutions, if any. - Bibliographical references should be numbered and indicated in brackets. The references must be complete, according to the following rules: Articles: Authors (surname followed by initials), title, journal or title of the annals in italics, volume, pages, number and year.
