ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief Background

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition (e-ISSN 1678-9865) is a specialized journal linked to the Graduate Program in Health Sciences of the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas). Founded in 1988, the journal adopted a continuous publication model in 2019, focusing on original or review articles that contribute to the study of Nutrition in its various subareas and interfaces.

 

 

Open Access

 

This Journal follows the Open Access model, allowing virtual access without restrictions (Including financial restrictions) to all scientific texts published by the journal.

Open Access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties using an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any use to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other legal purpose.

  

 

Open Science Compliance

 

Since 2019, the Brazilian Journal of Nutrition has adopted a continuous publication model as a way to contribute to the acceleration of the dissemination of scientific research and access to updated information. Furthermore, it is a Gold open access journal, meaning, all its content can be freely accessed at no cost.

Aiming to broaden the transparency and debate of the current scientific model, we disclose the Editor responsible for the evaluation process in the published article and encourage the submission of preprints, as well as the deposition of research data. For these purposes, we recommend SciELO Preprints and SciELO data.

The Open Science Compliance Form developed by SciELO is available for online completion and contributes to improving open science-related practices in the journal.

 

 

Ethics in Publication

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition, with a focus on the application/execution of good practices in scientific publications, adopts the Guidelines on Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing recommended by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) to guide the journal's editorial activities.

For research involving human beings and animals, we adhere to Resolution No. 466, of December 12, 2012, established by the Brazilian Ministry of Health.

The journal uses the iThenticate similarity detection tool to ensure the originality of its publications. In cases of identified research misconduct (according to COPE guidelines), the journal presents the case to its editorial board for deliberation.

  

 

Focus and Scope

EDITORIAL POLICY

 

Preprints

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition, in accordance with the Open Science movement, supports the use of preprint servers and accepts manuscripts previously deposited on reliable servers such as SciELO Preprints .

A preprint is a manuscript that is ready for submission to a journal and is deposited on reliable servers, either before or in parallel with a journal submission. A reliable preprint server must have a transparent moderation policy, offer DOI to submitted preprints, allow for community changes, comments, and evaluation with researcher endorsement, and have interoperability with other services and platforms. Only submissions of works previously deposited on public server platforms that meet these characteristics of reliability and transparency will be accepted.

If the article is accepted and published in the Brazilian Journal of Nutrition, the authors must update the record on the preprint server, providing the full reference of the publication in the journal.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition has specific policies for the evaluation and selection of manuscripts:

  • Works that have been submitted to other journals, presented at previous events (national or international), or translated into other languages are not accepted, aiming to preserve the originality of the work.
  • Before the manuscript is sent for evaluation by ad hoc reviewers, it undergoes a pre-analysis by the Editorial Board.
  • Authors should suggest three potential reviewers for the manuscript, with their emails and affiliated institutions, and may optionally indicate up to three reviewers they prefer not to review their work.
  • After initial approval, manuscripts are sent to two specialized reviewers, which may include a reviewer suggested by the authors. In case of disagreement, a third reviewer is appointed.
  • The evaluation process adopted by the journal is the blind review, ensuring the identities of authors and reviewers confidential.
  • Reviewers' decisions may be acceptance, resubmission, or rejection. The author is informed in all cases.
  • Similarity analysis is conducted in the second stage of the review process, following the initial ad hoc evaluation.
  • Associate Editors analyze the reviewers’ reports and recommend acceptance or rejection to the Editor-in-Chief, who makes the final decision.
  • Rejected manuscripts with the possibility of reformulation can be resubmitted as new works, undergoing a new evaluation process.
  • Works with suggested changes must be corrected by the authors within 30 days.
  • Accepted manuscripts may be returned to the authors for approval of changes during the editing and normalization process, according to the Journal's style.
  • The journal adopts the first option for advancing the open peer review process proposed by SciELO, in which the name of the Editor(s) responsible for the evaluation process is disclosed in the published article.
 

 

Open Data

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition supports and encourages the sharing of data, codes, methods, and other materials used and resulting from research that are generally underlying in the texts of articles published in the journal. If external research data are used, consult the Research Data Citation Guide provided by SciELO. The repositories for research data deposition recommended by SciELO can be used and are accepted.

Among the data repositories recommended by the Brazilian Journal of Nutrition is the SciELO data repository. It is an open and fee-free system that allows contributors to deposit research data associated with a specific manuscript. Using SciELO Data, authors should submit their data ONLY after the manuscript has been accepted.

A list of recommended data repositories is available at: https://wp.scielo.org/wp-content/uploads/Lista-de-Repositorios-Recomendados_pt.pdf. 

Providing a Data Availability Statement is a condition for publication and must contain information on where the data supporting the results reported in the article can be found. This includes, where applicable, hyperlinks to publicly archived datasets that were analyzed or generated during the study.

If the research data are not publicly available, this must be stated in the manuscript along with any conditions for data access. Data Availability Statements generally take one of the following forms:

  1. Data available in a publicly accessible repository:
    The research data are openly available in the [REPOSITORY NAME] repository at: [URL/DOI].
  2. Data available on request due to restrictions, for example, privacy or ethical reasons:
    The research data are available upon request from the corresponding author.
  3. Data available within the manuscript:
    The research data are available within the body of the document.
  4. Data sharing not applicable:
    No new data were created or analyzed in this study.
  

 

Fees

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition does not charge any fees for the submission, processing, or publication of articles.

 

 

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

Cases of scientific misconduct identified by the Brazilian Journal of Nutrition will be investigated by the Journal's editorial team, together with the Editorial Board, to determine the best option for their resolution.

In a situation of misconduct, the journal's retraction policy will be applied, in accordance with the Guide to Good Practices proposed by SciELO.

Requests for Errata or Retraction will be evaluated and conducted according to the guidelines provided by SciELO Brazil.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

Conflicts of interest may be of a personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial nature and can occur when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. Upon submitting the manuscript, authors are responsible for acknowledging and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced the work. If there is any, even potential, conflict of interest, the author(s) must inform it in a separate signed document attached to the submission platform. For more information, see: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.

 

 

Adoption of Similarity Software

 

The journal uses the iThenticate tool to verify the similarity of articles. This verification occurs during the evaluation process, in the second stage of the ad hoc review. There is no acceptable percentage of similarity, and each case is analyzed individually.

Articles derived from publications such as theses or dissertations are accepted and can be submitted; however, we understand that high-quality research should generate distinct research products and not just sliced reproductions (“salami publications”), with this modality considered unethical conduct.

Authors may be invited to rewrite and adjust the manuscript according to the similarity found.

 

 

Adoption of Software Using Artificial Intelligence Resources

 

The Brazilian Journal of Nutrition is currently in the process of evaluating the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence tools into its editorial process.

  

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

The editorial team of the Brazilian Journal of Nutrition, as well as the authors who publish in the journal, must always observe the guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER . The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines that guide the reporting of information on sex and gender in study design, data analysis, and the results and interpretation of findings. Furthermore, the Brazilian Journal of Nutrition observes a gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.

 

 

Ethics Committee

 

Research involving procedures with human beings must respect the ethical principles established by Resolution No. 466, of December 12, 2012, of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, and the research must have been approved by the ethics committee of the institution responsible for it.

The document declaring approval from the ethics committee will be requested in case of article approval. For evaluation, it is necessary to inform the research registration number.
