  • ABMVZ will automatically notify each of the registered authors, via the Electronic System, of their participation in the article. If one of the registered authors does not agree, in writing, to participate as an author, the article will be considered as "Withdrawn" by one of the authors and its processing will be terminated.

  • The period for adaptation to the ABMVZ Guidelines is 30 days and, after this period, the article will be considered as "Withdrawal by the author".
  • ABMVZ encourages authors to deposit and share research data that support the publication of the article in a Preprint repository. Research data refers to any and all observations, experimental notes, reports, and other products that make it possible to generate the results of the research. An example of a repository is Scielo Data
