The journal has maintained a presence on social media since 2013, publishing content and interviews related to articles via its blog and other communication channels. In 2015, the journal began receiving submissions and issuing evaluations online. To strengthen editorial transparency and adhere to the concept of open science, in 2021 it began accepting submissions of preprints and allowing the publication of peer reviews (with or without the identification of reviewers). In 2023, the journal inaugurated a continuous publication format. |

Policy on ethics, poor practice, errata and retraction
|
História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos is committed to sustaining and promoting ethical behavior in the practices that guide scientific research and publication. It therefore rejects all behaviors that characterize poor editorial practice, such as breaches of ethics, plagiarism and fraud. Additionally, the journal is a member of and adheres to the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), endorses the integrity guidelines of the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, and recommends use of the SciELO’s Guidelines on best practices for strengthening ethics in scientific publication. We recommend that authors read these documents before submitting their manuscript for publication in the journal. If, at any moment, problems and/or poor practices are detected in published documents, whether through a complaint, information provided by the authors themselves, or detection by the editorial board, an investigation will be conducted. Of special note among the poor practices subject to investigation are: redundant publication; problems in authorship/contribution statement; non-declared conflict of interest; fabrication/manipulation of data and/or images; plagiarism; manipulation of the evaluation; and ethical violation.

Policy on Conflict of Interest
|
Authors of manuscripts submitted to História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos must indicate whether there was any conflict of interest in conducting their research. Conflicts of interest may be personal, commercial, political, academic, financial, or other. If there is no conflict of interest, authors should state the following: “There was no conflict of interest in this study.” Manuscripts are not rejected solely on the basis of conflict of interest. In addition, authors must indicate on the manuscript any financial support received during the course of the study and must describe the contributions involved in developing the research. Reviewers are also responsible for declaring potential conflicts of interest when they agree to evaluate a manuscript. When an assistant editor or section editor has any potential conflict of interest in relation to a manuscript they have been given to assess, they must state this conflict of interest to the Editor-in-Chief, who will determine how to proceed. Information on author, peer reviewer, and editor conflicts of interest will appear at the end of published texts |
Using plagiarism detection software
|
História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos does not tolerate plagiarism in submitted manuscripts. Texts sent to the journal will be submitted to plagiarism detection software.
Cases of plagiarism may lead to the rejection of the manuscript at any stage of the evaluation process. |
Use of artificial intelligence
|
História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos allows the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, as long as they are used ethically and ensure the integrity of the research. These tools may be used as a supplement in the process of drafting the article, but not as a substitute; AI tools can assist in bibliographic research, in revising the text, and in improving titles and abstracts. AI cannot replace the work of the author in analyzing and interpreting the data, since this would compromise authorship. Both authors and reviewers must report use of AI tools when submitting materials to the journal. Authors must declare the use of these technologies in the cover letter, the abstract, and the introduction section. Authors and reviewers are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of any content generated with the assistance of AI. For more information on this topic, please contact the editorial secretary. The journal reserves the right to request additional information about the use of AI tools |

In the case of manuscripts that involved research with human subjects, authors must follow the specific recommendations, laws, and/or standards of the country where the research was conducted and/or funded. Research should be conducted in accordance with the ethical practices and recommendations of its pertinent area/sub-area, as described by COPE and in the Belmont Report.

Reviews
Letters Submission of manuscripts Submissions are welcome year-round. All submissions, regardless of section, must be made through the online submission management system. Submissions that do not comply with the publication guidelines specified in “Preparing manuscripts” will be rejected. Additionally, articles that are a simple extract from a thesis or dissertation or that have excessive writing errors will be returned to authors. Editor-in-Chief, the executive editor, and members of the editorial staff cannot submit articles to the Analysis or Research Notes sections. Guest editors of dossiers, assistant editors, and section editors can publish articles in the journal and will be subjected to double-blind peer review. Supplements Proposals for supplements should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief, pursuant to these guidelines. Proposals will be judged by the Editor-in-Chief and assistant editors, based on academic relevance and journal scope. História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos publishes at least one supplement every year. Preparing manuscripts
História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos accepts contributions to all sections in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Manuscripts should be submitted in DOCX or RTF format.
No other text in the manuscript should make it possible to identify the author(s). Manuscripts for the Reviews section should have a different title than the work reviewed, and no more than four references. The manuscripts must contain the complete reference citation for the work, including the number of pages. An image of the cover must be provided in a separate file, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi, in JPEG, TIFF or PNG format. Images, figures, tables and graphs
Illustrations include tables, figures, prints, graphs and drawings in general. All illustrations should be provided in files separate from the main text. The suggested location where each illustration should be inserted, along with its caption and source, must be noted in the body of the manuscript. Only four (4) illustrations will be published per article (except for the Images section), and must be accompanied by the respective authorization for publication. Tables and graphs should be editable. Tables should be in Word or Excel files, while graphs and underlying numerical data should be in Excel. Color, size, and/or formatting (bold, italics or underlining) should not be used to indicate different information, since text-reading software does not identify these differences. We recommend a maximum of five columns and ten rows in tables and graphs. Mixed, divided, and blank rows or columns should be avoided. In captions, avoid symbols or abbreviations. In graphs, we suggest using sufficient contrast so that differences will be visible to low-vision readers as well as when printed in grayscale or black and white. Choose colors that are acceptable to readers with color blindness, avoiding red (especially when combined with green). To verify contrast, we suggest the Color Contrast Analyzer, which can be used with your browser’s automatic translation function. Rules of zoological and botanical nomenclature should be carefully followed; the same applies to abbreviations and conventions adopted in specialized fields. Citations
In-text citations should indicate the author, year, and page of the citation. All quotations from works in other languages must be translated into the language of the manuscript; authors may choose to include the original in a note. Quotations of up to five lines should be presented in the main text, enclosed in double quotation marks. Quotations of more than five lines should be single-spaced in a separate, indented paragraph with a 3-cm margin. Notes Notes (maximum of 12) should be explanatory, numbered using Arabic numerals, and inserted as endnotes using the endnote function of the word processing program. Notes should not be used for citing documents or works. References All works or documents cited in the main text must be listed in a separate section, entitled References, never in a footnote or endnote. The references list primary and secondary sources together, and are based on the NBR 6023/2025 standard of the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT). References should appear in alphabetical order by author’s last name. Works by the same author should be listed in chronological order from most to least recent. When an author has more than one work published the same year, distinguish them by placing a letter, in alphabetical order, immediately after the year (for example: 1980a, 1980b). Authors’ first names should be written in full. Do not abbreviate journal names Titles of books and journals should be italicized. Titles of book chapters and articles should appear between double quotations in the main text, but without any special punctuation in the references. Examples:
