POLICY AGAINST PLAGIARISM AND RESEARCH MISCONDUCT

Moving forward with our tradition of excellence, we herein inform editorial improvements aimed at strengthening the integrity of articles published by this journal. In compliance with COPE’s guidelines (Committee on Publication Ethics), which seek to encourage the identification of plagiarism, misconduct, frauds and possible ethics violations, all subject to legal actions, we have set forth:

1. Authors must go to COPE’s website, http://publicationethics.org, which contains information for authors and editors on research ethics;

2. Before submission, authors must ensure that the following criteria are met:

- articles containing collected data or data analysis and interpretation from other publications must explicitly reference the latter;

- when composing articles containing a critical review of other authors’ intellectual content, said authors must be duly cited;

- all authors must meet the criteria for original work of authorship, and none of the researchers involved in the research must be omitted on the list of authors;

- the final approval of the article will be given by the editors and the editorial board.

3. To ensure that all criteria will be met, the following procedures will be carried out:

a) The editors will assess the manuscripts with the CrossCheck System right after submission. First, they will analyze the textual content of the scientific articles, seeking to identify plagiarism, duplicate submissions, manuscripts already published, and possible research frauds;

b) With the results, the editors and the editorial board will then decide whether the manuscript will be sent to review by peers, who will also provide their evaluations;

c) After acceptance and before publishing, the articles may be evaluated again.

As for the text, requirements are:

For in-text citations, the ABNT-NBR-6023-2018 standard is recommended. The entry of authors in the references must be identical to that of the in-text citation. The author’s last name must be written only with the first letter capitalized, followed by year of publication of the literature used, as in the example: Martins (1995);

If the author’s name and the year come in parentheses, they must be separated by comma, in capital letters, as in the example: (DAEMON, 1974);

Quotations with up to three (3) lines will not be set off from the rest and must be in the same font as the text and between quotation marks. They must also contain the indication of the author’s last name in capital letters, followed by year of publication and consulted page, as in the example: (MARTINS, 1994, p. 10);

Quotations with more than three (3) lines must be presented in blocks and indented, with the left margin aligned with the start of the paragraph, and the right margin, with the text;

Use the same font as that of the text, but smaller (10), without quotation marks;

Charts, tables and figures must be numbered in Arabic numerals (with their respective legends), preferably included in the text;

Chart points and lines must not be colored; they must be clear and simplified to facilitate reduction;

Use only explanatory, automatically-numbered footnotes.

The DOI of the articles, if any, must be indicated at the end of the reference. The Editorial Committee will not accept texts that do not comply with the norms set forth above and will have the final say on their publication. Published articles and the accuracy of bibliographical references are the authors’ sole responsibility. Editors are not to be held accountable for neither the text nor the concepts addressed by collaborators.
