ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Brief Background

 

The journal Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy (Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional) (ISSN 2526-8910) is the continuation of the Cadernos de Terapia Ocupacional da UFSCar (Print ISSN 0104-4931, Electronic ISSN 2238-2860), which began in 1990. Since volume 25, number 2, 2017, it has been called the Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy.

The journal is dedicated to publishing original articles resulting from scientific research in the field of Occupational Therapy, in dialogue with the field of Health, Education, Culture, and Social Assistance, as well as Occupational Science. It emphasizes studies on physical, sensory, mental, psychological, and/or social issues related to everyday life (cotidiano) and human activity connected to the participation, autonomy, and inclusion of subjects (both individual and collective) in social life.

The journal accepts articles in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, uses a double-blind peer review process, and is aimed at researchers, scholars, students, and practitioners in occupational therapy and related fields, both nationally and internationally.

The abbreviated title of the journal is Cad.Bras.Ter.Ocup., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, references, and bibliographic captions.

Publication frequency: continuous publication.

 

 

Open Science Compliance

 

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy follows the Open Science criteria and will gradually adopt its principles and practices.

Open Science is understood as a new way of formatting, designing, managing, communicating, and evaluating research and its communication, advocating for the transparency of processes and the availability of components that underpin its communication, such as methods, data, and computer programs. This openness includes and promotes significant changes in a journal’s editorial work, contributing to the acceleration of research publication through continuous publication and the use of preprint repositories, facilitating article assessment, research replicability, and the reuse of collected data.

The adoption and improvement of scientific communication practices in compliance with Open Science include open access; preprints as the beginning of the article production flow; transparent management of research data; availability of program codes and other materials underlying the articles; transparency and gradual opening of the manuscript evaluation process; public dissemination of research; interoperability with the global flow of scientific information and knowledge.

Preprints are manuscripts ready for submission to a journal, which are deposited on an open-access Web server beforehand by the author or in parallel with submission to the journal by the author or journal. The use of preprints as an option for the author implies that, when submitting an article to the journal, they must inform if the manuscript is deposited in a preprint server, including its name and URL. In addition to accelerating the communication of research results, this pre-publication allows the author(s) to receive feedback from readers and make any modifications deemed relevant.

Articles submitted for publication must be original, in print or electronic media, except for those available in preprint repositories, and simultaneous submission for evaluation to another journal is not permitted.

At the time of submission, the responsible author must complete and attach the Open Science Compliance Form, indicating: (a) if the manuscript is a preprint and, if so, its location; (b) if data, program codes, and other materials underlying the manuscript text are properly cited and referenced; (c) if they accept open options in the peer review process.

 

 

Ethics in Publication

 

During the submission, the author(s) must declare that all ethical guidelines concerning the integrity of scientific activities conducted during the research have been respected, and must also disclose funding sources, such as research agencies. Studies involving experiments with humans or animals must be approved by the ethics committees of their institution. The exclusive responsibility for adherence to good ethical research practices lies with the author.

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy adheres to: the principles of SciELO’s Codes of Ethics, as presented in the “Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication”, the “Principles of Transparency and Best Practices in Academic Publishing” recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the principles of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and the principles of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA).

The Brazilian Research Ethics Commission (CONEP) document is the reference for research in virtual environments. Foreign researchers should consult an equivalent document or contact the editorial office.

 

 

Focus and Scope

Editorial Policy

 

Preprints

 

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy accepts the publication of preprint articles. A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready for submission to a journal and deposited in reliable preprint servers before or in parallel with submission to a journal.

The use of preprints is the author’s choice, and it is assumed that when submitting the article to the journal, through the Open Science Compliance Form, the name of the Preprint server and the DOI of the Preprint are provided.

Articles submitted as preprints share with journals the originality in publication, and the evaluation process will not use the double-anonymized procedure since the authorship will become known.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

A double-blind peer review process (anonymous for both reviewers and authors) is adopted, except for articles available on preprint servers or whose authors opt for open evaluation (Open Science Compliance Form), where a ‘simple-blind’ evaluation occurs. Texts are submitted online and, if following publication standards, are forwarded to a Section Editor for initial assessment.

At this stage, the relevance of the submission to the journal’s scope is assessed, and among other formal aspects considered, the relevance and originality of the topic and the adequacy and density of the theoretical-methodological approach used are highlighted. Only texts approved at this stage will proceed to the next stages of merit evaluation.

If approved in the initial assessment by the Section Editor, they will appoint two ad hoc reviewers according to the research theme. These reviewers must provide a review within 30 days, analyzing the text and recommending revisions, acceptance, or rejection for publication, according to criteria of content relevance, argumentative consistency, theoretical and methodological coherence, structural adequacy, and contributions to the advancement of knowledge in the field.

Articles forward to peer review, after the review process, will be sent to the authors with the editorial decision, indicating required revisions and/or final acceptance or rejection. In the case of required revisions, the articles will be returned to the authors for adjustments, and a new round of review will be requested from the Section Editors and/or ad hoc reviewers.

Upon completion of the ad hoc reviewers' analysis, the Section Editor will send the final decision (where the reviewers’ anonymity is preserved) that will be expressed as follows:

a) Accepted for Publication: The work is fully accepted for publication in one of the upcoming issues of the journal, according to the chronological criterion of completion of the review process.

b) Revisions Required: The modifications must be made by the author(s), who will receive the review with the respective recommendations, returning the revised work within the stipulated period with the changes marked in a distinct color for verification. In the case of a large number of requested changes, the article will be re-submitted to the Section Editors and/or ad hoc reviewers for further analysis after the author's adjustments, which may result in acceptance or rejection.

c) Rejected: Refusal of publication, with due justification, based on the analysis of each ad hoc reviewer, which is conveyed to the authors while preserving the reviewers’ identities.

All reviews will be available to the authors, ad hoc reviewers, and section editors.

If the author disagrees with the review received, they may request a reconsideration from the journal’s Editorial Board, who, if deemed appropriate, will forward the request to the same reviewers and section editors or, depending on the case, will request a review from another ad hoc reviewer or another Editor.

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy publishes the name of the editor responsible for the evaluation process in the final version of the article.

 

Open Data

 

In line with consolidating Open Science processes, it is recommended that authors, when appropriate, share the primary research data as well as other materials underlying the manuscript text that contributed to the article in certified repositories.

The goal is to facilitate the evaluation of the manuscript and, if approved, to contribute to the preservation and reuse of data and information, as well as to the replicability of the study.

For sharing, authors can use their institution’s repository and identify relevant and certified repositories from the SciELO list of repositories for research data deposit.

Alternatively, the author(s) can declare that the data will be made available upon direct request to the author(s) or that all data are contained and discussed in the article.

The repository where the data and information are located, if applicable, should be cited in the text according to the Guidelines for Research Data Citation, preferably in the methodological section, included in the reference list, and in the “Data Availability” section.

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

The journal ensures ethical procedures throughout its editorial process, from submission and evaluation to publication, with no tolerance for academic misconduct by either the Editorial Team or its authors.

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy adheres to the principles of SciELO’s Codes of Ethics, as detailed in the “Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication”, the “Principles of Transparency and Best Practices in Academic Publishing” recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the principles of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and the principles of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). All authors, editors, section editors, and reviewers must be aware of and follow these guidelines at all stages of the publication process.

For research in virtual environments, the document from the Brazilian  Research Ethics Commission (CONEP) is used as a reference. Foreign researchers should consult an equivalent document or contact the editorial office.

Studies involving experiments with humans or animals must be approved by an Committee on Publication Ethics.

Clinical trials must be registered with the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (REBEC).

All cases involving suspected misconduct will be investigated by the journal to resolve all doubts. There is a commitment to publish corrections, clarifications, and retractions, as well as notes of concern if necessary.

Authors, when submitting texts for evaluation, should always ensure to:

  • Follow the criteria for authorship attribution, including only researchers involved in the study and not including as co-authors those who did not participate in the work;
  • Cite and correctly reference all data and data interpretations from other publications;
  • Report any conflict of interest of all authors;
  • Disclose all sources of funding;
  • Submit only original texts for evaluation, which have not been presented to other publications, ensuring the fidelity and authenticity of the data;
  • Make retractions or corrections of errors when necessary.

Reviewers, when invited to evaluate any text, should commit to:

  • Decline the invitation if there are any conflicts of interest;
  • Perform the evaluation themselves with the utmost rigor;
  • Accept invitations only when able to complete the evaluation within the stipulated timeframe or contact the editor to check the possibility of an extension;
  • Inform about any relevant reference published that was not cited in the text;
  • Maintain absolute confidentiality about the reviewed texts, not discuss them with colleagues, nor use information to their benefit until the article is published.

Editors must always:

  • Ensure a peer review process that is unbiased and impartial;
  • Guarantee the anonymity of reviewers from the authors, except for articles available on preprint servers;
  • Evaluate and investigate all cases and suspicions of misconduct and unethical behavior;
  • Prevent financial interests from compromising the ethical standards of the publication;
  • Ensure there is no plagiarism and that fraudulent data and results are not published.

For cases requiring retraction, the journal will adopt the policies of SciELO as outlined in the Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication, the Guide to Recording, Marking and Publishing Correction, and the Guide for Registering, Marking and Publishing a Retraction.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

It is mandatory for authors to declare the existence or not of conflicts of interest, as the reliability of the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how conflicts of interest are managed during writing, peer review and decision-making by editors. The conflict of interest may be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature.

Conflicts of interest may arise when authors, evaluators or editors have interests that, apparent or not, may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts.

To make a well-informed decision on a manuscript, it's important to be aware of the authors' competing interests. It's not necessarily about eliminating these interests, as they are often unavoidable. It's worth noting that manuscripts won't be rejected solely due to a conflict of interest.

If there are no conflicts of interest related to the study, you should simply transcribe the note below and add it in the designated field: "There were no conflicts of interest to carry out this study." It's important to note that information about any potential conflicts of interest related to the authors will be included at the end of the published article. If authors are unsure about what may constitute a conflict of interest, they should contact the editorial secretary of the Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy.

In this way, it is expected:

Authors: When submitting a manuscript, they are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced their work. They must acknowledge all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections in relation to the research.

Reviewers: must inform the editors about any conflicts of interest that may affect their judgment of the manuscript. They should also declare themselves unqualified to review specific manuscripts if they think it necessary. If the reviewers do not mention any potential conflicts, it may mean that there are conflicts that have not been disclosed or that there are no conflicts at all. Therefore, reviewers are requested to provide statements of competing interests, which will be used to assess the value of peer reports.

Editors: They must declare potential conflicts of interest in evaluating manuscripts, as well as act to prevent conflicts of interest involving authors and reviewers from compromising ethical standards in publication.

 

 

Adoption of similarity-checking software

 

After the peer review process, approved articles will be submitted to the iThenticate system for similarity evaluation and plagiarism detection. If a significant level of similarity with a previously published text is detected, the corresponding author will be contacted for text adjustments, and the article may be rejected, considering the requirement for originality.

 

 

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence Resources

 

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy does not accept the use of Chatbots or other artificial intelligence for preparing the content of the manuscript. Its use, when necessary, must be restricted to assistance with grammatical correction, translation, and/or preparation and management of references. 

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

All articles will be evaluated without considering social markers of difference, such as gender, sexual orientation, race, religious belief, and nationality, among others, as well as the political positions of the authors.

Manuscripts submitted to Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy should follow the principles of the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines, which guide the reporting of information on sex and gender in study design, data analysis, and results and interpretation of findings.

According to these guidelines, the terms sex (biological attribute) and gender (shaped by social and cultural circumstances) should be used carefully to avoid confusion.

Additionally, Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy observes gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.
