Ethics and retraction policy

The journal Rev.Pemo supports and follows the principles and standards recommended by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), an international reference organization for integrity and ethics in scientific publications. Indeed, the editorial process, selection criteria and publication follow the rules of conduct and ethics, in accordance with https://publicationethics.org/files/Code_of_conduct_for_journal_editors_Mar11.pdf.

ATTENTION:

1- In the case of research involving human beings, it is requested that the approval report from the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) or the Terms of Free and Informed Consent - TCLE, corresponding to the consent of the subjects involved in the research, be sent. In the case of photos and images, the authorization form for the use of images must also be sent. If these documents are missing, the article or product cannot be published.

2- Review articles do not require a TCLE or CEP, however, if they contain data acquisition or analysis and interpretation of data from other publications, it is essential that these are explicitly referenced. When writing articles that contain a critical review of the intellectual content of other authors, these must be duly cited and none of the researchers involved in the research may be omitted from the list of authors.

3- In line with Open Science, it is requested that the research data be openly deposited in an institutional digital preservation repository specifically for this purpose or on the ZENODO platform, https://zenodo.org/. If it is not possible to make the data openly available, please inform the editor in the comments.

Retraction

Rev.Pemo is committed to guaranteeing integrity at all stages of the editorial process, safeguarding those involved. Therefore, in cases involving suspicions of misconduct, the journal will investigate in order to ensure high standards of scientific and ethical rigor, so that all doubts are resolved in the best possible way.

If there is any complaint or observation of misconduct committed by any of those involved during the editorial process, we will halt the process for the due investigation, with prior notice to all those involved. The evaluation process should and will only be continued if misconduct is not proven.

In the event of misconduct on the part of authors, the article will be withdrawn from the evaluation process, and the journal may, by decision of the editorial board, refuse to receive future submissions from the author(s). When the misconduct is carried out by one or more of the editors, they will be removed from their duties at the journal. And if the misconduct is committed by an ad-hoc reviewer, he/she will not make any further contributions to the journal and his/her role as reviewer will be deactivated.

As of the beginning of 2023, Rev. Pemo has assumed responsibility for publishing corrections, clarifications, retractions and other clarifications that may be necessary. Therefore, if misconduct is identified after an article has been published, it may need to be updated with additional data, corrections, retractions or its complete withdrawal.

In order to guarantee our authors and readers an ethical policy that is consistent with the principles of open science, Rev.Pemo uses CrossMark, a multi-publisher initiative by Crossref, which provides a standard way for readers to locate the current version of updated content.

By applying the CrossMark logo to the metadata, Rev.Pemo is committing to keeping the content it publishes up to date and alerting readers to changes when they occur. With one click, you can see whether content has been updated, corrected or withdrawn, and access additional valuable metadata provided by the member, such as important publication dates (submission, review, acceptance), authors' ORCID IDs, content type, plagiarism, screening status and information on funding, license, peer review and research data location.

For CrossMark purposes, there are two categories of updates: minor and major changes. Minor changes include formatting and spelling corrections for which there are no substantive changes to alert the reader to, so the CrossMark status is current. Significant changes affect the CrossMark status of the work, so it is considered good practice to publish a correction or retraction notice (with its own DOI) and not put it behind access control. This allows readers to follow the link on the Crossmark button and find more details about the update. Both procedures generate the publication of a new document, classified as an erratum or retraction, which records the correction of the error or the reason for retracting the article, always making reference to the original.

In the case of errata, Rev.Pemo keeps the original document and at the end of the text the correction is recorded with reference to the document that published the erratum. In the case of retractions, the original document is replaced by a message stating that it has been retracted, with reference to the retraction document.
