Transinformação uses NBR 6023/2020 for elaboration of references and NBR 10520/2023 for elaboration of citations. Examples for citations and references are described in the Model.

Examples

Quotations

Direct (verbatim) quotations of up to three lines must be enclosed in quotation marks, without italics and then in brackets: “text cited xxxxxx” (author's surname with initial capital letters, year of the material consulted, p. initial page of the quotation).

Literal quotations of more than three lines should be in a block, in a paragraph separated from the text, with a 4 cm indentation on the left, single-spaced, in a font smaller than that used in the text, without quotation marks or italics. The following should appear in brackets: (author's surname, date, page). When the transcribed text has already been highlighted, it is not necessary to indicate the emphasis, but when the authors are including an emphasis, use “our emphasis” or “own emphasis”. Ex.:

Essa tendência ganha um novo caráter na medida em que a implantação de centros culturais, que implicam novo uso do solo seguido de novo tratamento dos espaços urbanos, coopera na constituição de uma outra paisagem, redefinindo a imagem da área no contexto da cidade e modificando a identidade social do território (Mesentier; Moreira, 2014, p. 46, own emphasis).
