Scientific misconduct Presenting results of animal or clinical research conducted without proper approval and written informed consent, as set out above, is considered unethical scientific behavior. Duplicate publication or when results are falsified, fabricated or plagiarized is also considered unethical. The RBGO allows the partialpresentation of data from a manuscript in another means of dissemination, although in these cases, the author must acknowledge the previous presentation and identify the source. The citation of the original publication is essential in the disclosure. Splitting data, analysis and presentation of the same study into smaller units (practice called “salami slicing”) should be avoided. Thus, the author must acknowledge in his or her cover letter any similar publications or manuscripts that have been submitted for publication based on the same material. Investigation of scientific misconduct Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been previously published, except in the form of an abstract, published lecture or academic thesis. Scientific misconduct may be suspected during the manuscript review process by reviewers. Thus, the RBGO may use additional resources to investigate the author’s unethical conduct in order to certify the originality or plagiarism of the article (examples: Crossref Similarity Check, iThenticate and others). All suspected cases will be investigated initially by the Editor-in-Chief and by the Ethics and Professional Defense Committee of the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations. The author will be notified in writing of the allegations and asked to provide useful information to the investigation, including access to all original data, notes and copies of previous publications. The author’s affiliation may also be contacted. Retraction policy The retraction policy of the RBGO is based on COPE’s Retraction guidelines for advice and guidance for editors (DOI: https://doi.org/10.24318/cope.2019.1.4). Editors will consider a publication retractable in case:
Retraction notices must:
Retractions are generally inappropriate if:
The RBGO will follow the flowchart suggested by COPE (DOI: https://doi.org/10.24318/cope.2019.2.7) to track an undisclosed conflict of interest in a published article. Receipt of articles deposited in preprint repositories Manuscripts submitted and coming from preprint repositories will necessarily be peer-reviewed and receive the definitive DOI issued by the RBGO if approved. Manuscripts submitted for analysis by the RBGO editorial board cannot contain references to articles that have not been published in scientific journals and that have fully complied with the peer review process. Instructions to authors for manuscript submission The material sent for analysis must not have been submitted simultaneously for publication in other journals or previously published. The selection of manuscripts for publication involves evaluation of originality, relevance of the topic, quality of the methodology used, its updating and whether it is appropriate and interesting to readers, in addition to adequacy to the editorial standards adopted by the journal. Evaluation of manuscripts Manuscripts in English submitted to the journal are received by the editorial office that checks the mandatory documentation and analyzes if the editorial rules contained in instructions to authors have been complied with. If the process is in accordance, the manuscript is sent to the editor-in-chief, who will make an initial merit assessment of the submitted manuscript. If the editor-in-chief concludes the work is in favorable scientific and technical conditions, the manuscript will be forwarded to associate editors, who, in turn, will appoint reviewers (double mind process) to evaluate the work. The reviewers’ opinions and the editor’s instructions will be sent to authors so they are aware of the editor’s decision, criticism and eventual changes to be introduced. Authors must resubmit the text with the suggested changes within the requested deadline. When resubmitting the manuscript, the requested corrections must be highlighted in the text (marked in yellow). In cases of disagreement with the suggestions, the authors must include the justifications and observations in comment balloons. Authors must be assertive and punctual with the inquiry, supporting the hypothesis with references. IMPORTANT! Authors must comply with the deadlines. Failure to do so will result in a delay in their publication or even in the shelving of the process. Authors can request the suspension of the process and withdrawal of the work at any point in the process of analyzing and editing the text, except when the manuscript is accepted for publication. The concepts and statements contained in the articles are the responsibility of the authors. |
