How to fill in the issue publication date field?
29 de April de 2024This field should be filled with the publication date of the document, not the insertion date of the issue into the system. It should be recorded in the language of the document, omitting prepositions, and months should be abbreviated according to the Month Abbreviation Table.
It is a mandatory field, and the use of the abbreviation “n.d.” is no longer allowed because documentation without clear indication of the publication date is considered incomplete and poses a risk to the reliability of the presented data.
