Media Content Information Guidelines
This page gathers the essential information required for the production of media content. All materials must be
submitted to our team responsible for building the editorial foundation that will support journalists, writers,
and editors.
Our work model does not involve the distribution of open story pitches. Instead, we develop structured and
completed articles, created by our team based on the information provided by the featured professional. This process
ensures editorial consistency, stronger storytelling, and greater potential for publication.
Editorial Process
In practical terms, a story pitch represents the initial direction of what may be explored from a journalistic perspective,
while a completed article refers to content that has already been developed, reviewed, and prepared for publication,
using language and structure appropriate for media outlets.
Quality of Information Provided
The depth and clarity of the information submitted directly impact the editorial quality of the final content.
Complete information allows our team to create more accurate narratives, identify stronger journalistic angles,
and better align the material with media publication standards.
Incomplete or inaccurate information may affect the development of the article, require additional revisions,
and impact deadlines and the overall editorial workflow.
For this reason, we recommend providing organized and detailed information from the beginning.
If preferred, the featured professional may also provide the requested information through WhatsApp voice
messages by answering the questions included in the form.
In this format, our team will transcribe, organize, and adapt the information into written content while preserving the
accuracy and authenticity of the original information provided.
This alternative was developed to offer greater convenience and efficiency, especially for professionals with demanding
schedules or those who prefer verbal communication.
The more complete and detailed the answers are, the stronger the editorial quality of the material produced and the more
efficient the writing, review, and publication process will be.

We recommend submitting at least 10 topics related to your professional field, preferably based on your practical
experience and market knowledge.
The purpose of this section is to ensure that the content developed is aligned with real professional practices and current
demands within your industry.
The proposed topics should not be limited to theoretical discussions. They should contribute effectively to
the improvement of daily professional activities by addressing relevant challenges, trends, and practical applications.
This approach allows for the selection of articles that are consistent, strategic, and relevant, directly connected to
professional responsibilities while promoting technical development, continuous updates, and practical knowledge sharing.
In addition, we value clarity throughout the content development process. Any questions or uncertainties should be addressed
during the preparation stage to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment with the proposed objectives.

industry trends, challenges, and innovations into clear, useful, and engaging content that contributes to professional
development and expands the reader’s strategic perspective.
You can create topics related to your area of expertise by considering recent changes, emerging technologies, market demands,
and challenges faced in your professional environment.
The goal is to submit 10 story ideas that are not only technically relevant but also personally interesting to
you as a reader. In other words, choose topics that you genuinely consider important, current, and worth reading.
This approach helps create more authentic, engaging, and high-quality content.
Please send only the topics.
How Do We Build the Editorial Structure of the Article?
Opening (Context)
The introduction should place the reader within the broader context of the news story by using relevant market data,
industry trends, or contextual information.
Development (Professional Expertise)
At this stage, the featured professional becomes the main technical source, using their background and professional experience
to provide analysis and insights.
The article may include 4 to 5 direct quotes to reinforce professional analysis, perspectives, and market
observations.
Production, Review, and Publication of Scientific Articles
Each academic project has specific objectives, editorial requirements, and levels of depth.

Submission and Registration on Academic Platforms
During the submission process to scientific journals, academic repositories, and research platforms, temporary operational
login credentials may be created exclusively for the purposes of submission, technical follow-up, and editorial monitoring of the
submitted material.
This procedure is operational in nature and does not alter ownership of the research, copyright, or the academic identification of
the authors. Articles remain associated with their respective researchers, including through the ORCID records provided during
the submission process, ensuring the proper attribution of the scientific work to the responsible authors.
International academic platforms, particularly SSRN, have been adopting increasingly rigorous criteria regarding originality,
methodological structure, technical standardization, author identification, and the scientific suitability of submitted materials.
For this reason, the preparation, review, and submission processes require technical support aligned with the updated editorial
requirements of each platform.
Upon completion of the process, the authors receive the official link to access the published or submitted material.
Academic Visibility and Indexing
Articles published in academic repositories and scientific platforms that comply with international indexing standards may become
eligible for discovery through academic search engines, including Google Scholar.
This process may increase the author's academic visibility, facilitate the discovery of research by other researchers, and strengthen
the association between the scientific work and the researcher's academic profile and ORCID record.
Indexing depends exclusively on the technical, editorial, and algorithmic criteria established by each platform and academic search engine.
Closing
The conclusion should reconnect the article with the initial context and link the discussion to the professional’s perspective,
ending with a forward-looking or analytical statement.
