Editorial policy

ALAI’s website, online since 1999, contains more than 125 thousand documents classified by subject, author, language, country or region, date and tags, to facilitate search. The content of signed articles and opinions are the sole responsibility of their authors and do not necessarily reflect the editorial position of ALAI.

    • Maintain the titles and subtitles of the text. Avoid cuts, reductions or deletions without authorization from ALAI or the respective author.
    • Correctly cite the author.
    • If the materials indicate a source other than ALAI (always at the end), consult the original source for authorization to reproduce it.
    • In the case of original content or content specially sent to be edited or translated by ALAI, please include the name of the agency and a hyperlink to this website.
    • In the case of social media content, cite the author, ALAI and tag our accounts, whether they are Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
