We will be grateful if we can receive your writings for publication in our portal, which is intended to disseminate ideas mainly academic about the Amazon. In order for your texts to be published, we consider it necessary for you to know the guidelines that guide the Amazon Latitude. We suggest that you take a tour of the portal to understand the dynamics of the texts that we publish and notice the line of our editorials, especially the format of what we have selected for publication. Below, we list some guidelines on how to proceed to have your text accepted by the editorial team.
What we are interested in publishing
Our interest is to publish a variety of scientific-scientific approaches to the Amazon. Ideas that leave the frontier of disciplinarity, of the compartments of the unique thought, and that interconnect the interdisciplinarity, in the multidimensionality, that unite the cultures in the several glances, without losing the focus of our main object of study that is the Amazon. For this, we accept texts from the Natural Sciences and Exact Sciences, as well as from the Human and Social Sciences, whose focus is the thinking about the Amazon, in its many biases, in its complexity. We publish posts in various formats: text, image, video and podcast. For more information on the different formats we publish and expected word counts, see the list below.
