Author Guidelines
POLICIES AGAINST PLAGIARISM AND BAD CONDUCT IN RESEARCH
In the wake of our tradition in excellence, we would like to inform collaborators on editorial improvements that foreground the integrity of articles published by the Acta Scientiarum. Following guidelines by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) stimulating the identification of the practice of plagiarism, bad practices, frauds, possible violations in Ethics and indicting, we would like to recommend the following:
1. Authors are invited to visit the COPE website http://publicationethics.org for information on authors and editors on Ethics in research;
2. Prior to submission of scientific articles, authors should follow the criteria below:
- articles that contain data acquisition or analysis and interpretation of data from other publications should refer to the latter explicitly and directly;
- articles with a critical review on the intellectual contents of other authors should duly quote the latter authors;
- all authors should attend to the authorship criteria of an unpublished article and no researcher involved in the investigation should be omitted from the list of authors;
- the definite approval of the article is the role of the respective editors and of the editorial board.
3. So that the above criteria could be complied with, the following procedures will be taken:
a) Editors will evaluate manuscripts by CrossCheck system immediately after submission. Contents of the scientific articles will be evaluated to identify any sort of plagiarism, double submissions, already published articles and possible frauds in research;
b) With these results in hand, the editors and the editorial board decide whether the manuscript is sent for the review of peers, who will also make their own evaluations;
c) After acceptance and prior to publication, the article may again be assessed.
