Plagiarism Policy

The Ciência Florestal journal is dedicated to rigorously maintain the academic integrity and the anti plagiarism prevention in the manuscripts that it publishes. The works submitted in the journal undergo two processes of anti plagiarism/plagiarism verification: 1) pre peer review; 2) pre publication. Both processes are made via the Turnitin platform, which identifies similarities between the work and already published texts. The report generated by the software is verified by the reviewers and section editors.

Submission

In case a manuscript shows evidence of plagiarism, the editorial team will evaluate the case, and may request corrections and retractions from the authorship or may reject the work. 

Publication

In cases which the journal confirms or is notified of plagiarism practices, the Editorial Committee, as well as higher instances of the institution that the authorship is from will be notified.

When necessary, the journal will issue Errata and Retractions, based on the SciElo’s  and COPE’s guidelines, as it values integrity and transparency in scientific research.
