Abstract

Environmental problems have provoked concerns that run through scientific research, laws, and even the definition of public policies. It is undeniable that efforts have been made to include environmental issues in legislation and improve existing environmental policies, especially with regard to proper waste management. This study aimed to analyze the evolution of publications and identify trends in the scientific environment in relation to environmental management and organic waste in the urban environment, considering the period from 1992 to 2021.This is a scientometric, descriptive, and exploratory study. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to process the data collected from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Recent scenarios have shown that environmental management and organic waste occupy a prominent place in journals considered to have a high impact factor. In addition, the topics covered in the publications are versatile, reflecting diverse disciplinary perspectives such as environmental science, public policy, cultural studies, and technological innovation. These diverse angles of analysis provide an understanding of how complex and comprehensive the issues related to organic waste management in urban environments are, thus revealing its potential and the ongoing interest of researchers.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
