Publication ethics

Every author of publishable material in Políticas Públicas must stick to these responsibility actions in order to uphold a standard ethics of publication.

  1. To verify authorship. The authorship limits itself to who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, and/or interpretation of the reported study which exposes. The authors are expected to pay carefully attention respect with the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and send that together whit this.
  2. To verify originality. Every author must ensure that his/her/their work is entirely original. Likewise, every author who have used the work (in a direct or indirect way) of other should appropriately cite this or present the required permissions of use.
  3. To gather and interpret honestly data. Data manipulation, as well as any other misrepresentation, in any way, is unacceptable. Every author must ensure that data were truthfully considered, independent of exposed information.
  4. To guarantee the integrity of review. Every author must avoid the presentation, inclination or insinuation of reviewers whose effect implicates a positive bias respect with the sent material (either due to a personal or professional motivations, either past or future).
  5. To guarantee the replicability. Every author should provide sufficient datasets (otherwise, its source) and methodological details in order to allow to reiterate, reproduce or replicate the work by other researchers.
  6. To submit a work exclusively. Every author should send its publishable material only one journal at a time, avoiding submit that work to more one at the same time. We recommended that material under revision or consideration at a disciplinary journal may only be submitted to another journal when that is rejected or withdrawn.
  7. Correctly integration of work. The authors must ensure the submitting of research findings at once, avoiding fragmentation of work (i.e., unnecessarily splitting the body of work into several shorter papers).
  8. To notify any change of work. Every author must explicitly inform any significant change, before acceptance the publication, relative to the content and/or the authorship in the face of Editorial Team.
  9. To declare all funding source. The authorship must explicitly point out any financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of article in all documents for the submitting of material.
  10. To declare any possible conflict of interest. The authorship must explicitly indicate any potential conflict of interest respect with the content of publishable material in any process step.
  11. To guarantee professional communication. The authorship must uphold all time the required responsibility in this process in both form and substance respect with the aspects relatives to the sending and receiving information.

Políticas Públicas have established these actions in according with both Elsevier Standards and Policies and Wiley-indexed MetalMat Journal.
