In cases where the contribution has not been submitted to the Committee on Ethics in Research, the main author of the work must fill out a document, "Declaration of obedience to the principles and ethical precepts in research with human beings" provided by the editorial office, which ensures that the principles and ethical precepts that guide the research with human beings were observed.

 

7 STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT

The standards of ethical conduct of Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society for editors, special editors, ad hoc reviewers, and contributors are based on the best practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for editors of scientific journals. These standards seek to assure editorial ethics and the quality of contributions based on the assumption of standard ethical behavior, as described below.

7.1 Responsibilities of the Editorial Team

Editors must evaluate the contributions exclusively based on their merit and decide which of the submitted works can be published, considering the editorial policy of Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society. The editorial decision of acceptance or rejection considers the recommendations journal’s ad hoc reviewers. No unpublished material included in a submitted article can be used by reviewers or members of the editorial team in their investigations before publication by the journal.

7.2 Responsibilities of Ad Hoc Reviewers

Through the evaluation, the objective of the ad hoc reviewers is to support the acceptance or rejection of the submitted contributions. Therefore, reviewers must carefully examine the contributions, substantiating their considerations with clarity and depth, so that they can be improved. In case the ad hoc reviewers are not specialized in the subject in question, they are advised to formalize their unavailability to proceed with the evaluation process.

As it is forbidden to submit material already published in conference proceedings with an ISSN or that is currently under evaluation by other journals and books, ad hoc reviewers should preliminarily identify whether that is the case of the submission assigned to them. In case a previous publication is confirmed, the contribution will be archived immediately.

In the event of identifying possible conflicts of interest associated with competition, collaboration, or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected with the contributions, ad hoc reviewers identify possible should refuse to proceed with the evaluation. The impossibility to carry out the evaluation must also be formalized in case the deadline requested by the editorial team cannot be met unless the ad hoc reviewer negotiates an extension with the editorial board and provided that it does not prolong the editorial process excessively.

Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society adopts double-blind reviews. Therefore, submitted contributions should be treated as confidential documents and not be discussed with others until they are published. Ad hoc reviewers must evaluate the works based on their content, and their comments must be respectful to express their feedback clearly, substantied and constructively.

If possible, ad hoc reviewers should point out relevant works that may have not been cited by the authors. Also, fragments that have been previously mentioned in other papers must be cited. It is also up to ad hoc reviewers to alert the editorial team of Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society about significant similarities between the text under evaluation and any other published works of which they are aware, to avoid possible plagiarism. Finally, the editorial team of Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society will submit all contributions to plagiarism detection software, regardless of the evaluation conducted by the ad hoc reviewers.

7.3 Responsibilities of Authors

Upon submission, the authors declare that their contribution is original, is not under evaluation by other journals or books, nor has it been previously published in its complete form in any other language, as in the case of conference proceedings with an ISSN – which must be compulsorily identified. In the case of conferences that have an ISSN and that publish full papers in their proceedings, the submission of the same material to Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society is not allowed.

The authorship of a contribution is limited to those who contributed to the preparation of the material, up to a maximum of four authors. For works with more contributors, these must be registered as collaborators in an explanatory note. It is the responsibility of the author submitting the work to keep the other authors informed about the editorial process, and they must assure that there is consensus among them as to the version to be submitted for publication, as well as the intermediate and final version of the contribution.

The authors must cite all references that have grounded their contribution, and always highlight the participation of the authors who preceded the text so that ideas previously developed by other authors are not presented as their own.

Whenever a mistake is found in an already published contribution, they must immediately inform the editorial team of Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society and collaborate to correct it. If the editorial team identifies significant errors in the submitted works, the authors will be contacted, and are expected to collaborate in correcting the published contribution and/or providing evidence of the accuracy of the original contribution.

Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society considers as unethical and absolutely unacceptable (a) any form of fraud, such as the submission of fictitious empirical research or those that are intentionally inaccurate; (b) any form of plagiarism; and (c) submission of the contribution simultaneously to another definitive format, such as a book chapter, scientific journal, or conference with an ISSN. In any of these cases, the contribution will be archived, and authors will be prevented from submitting new contributions in the future.

 

8 OVERLAPPING PUBLICATIONS

The publication of two papers with significant content overlapping is not acceptable, even in different journals. Publications with a single data set should only be allowed up to 500 words, for papers with different approaches and purposes. Whether in this case or if a preliminary version of the contribution has been presented at a technical-scientific event, the publisher must be notified at the time of submission if the work is in any way partially published., the editorial team must be notified at the time of submission. In case of any irregularity in this regard, the text will be archived, and the authors punished, at the discretion of the editorial team.

 

9 AUTHOR IDENTIFICATION

The submission file must contain no information allowing author identification. If the author can be identified in the body of the text or the references section, the file will be archived. Authors who cite their own works should avoid doing whenever possible, in order to avoid their identification.

The authorship of the contributions will only be identified on the system page, at the time of submission. The following information is requested by the system: work title, the full name of the authors, name of the institution to which they are affiliated, positions they occupy, address, e-mail, ORCID, and academic background. For works with several authors, they must be ranked according to their contribution, up to four, as specified previously.

 

10 REFERENCING GUIDELINES

Bibliographic, documentary, and website references must appear at the end of the text, organized as a single list entitled “References”, according to an adaptation of the APA standards.

We believe that to recognize the women’s participation in the construction of knowledge in Organizational Studies, we must first make their contribution visible. Therefore, all first names need to be made explicit in the list of references.
