Open Science Compliance
|
This journal follows the Gold Open Access model. Open Science Compliance Form. In accordance with the Open Science guidelines, the Brazilian Dental Science adopts several practices, such as the open access policy, the code of good practices for publishers and the use of social networks for the dissemination of published works. The journal also requires a clear indication of each author's contribution in articles with multiple authorship, using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT). In addition, it encourages the sharing of analysis data sets, instruments, statistical analysis scripts and complementary materials, which can be made available in open online repositories, such as SciELO Data, Zenodo, Figshare and OSF, If they cannot be included in the article itself. This information should be mentioned in the manuscript. BDS supports the publication of preprint articles on public platforms, such as SciELO Preprints, preprints.org, Emerging Research Information (EmeRI) and Biorxiv, So that they can be openly debated before their formal publication. In tune with Open Science practices, the Brazilian Dental Science offers authors and reviewers the option of opening the peer review process, with or without the identification of their names. Authorization for the disclosure of the name can be granted by the authors during the submission of the article and by the reviewers when filling out the Evaluation Form on compliance with Open Science. Finally, the contribution of the Associate Editors is duly credited in the published articles, and the reviewers receive a statement of opinion of the manuscript, in addition to being able to validate their activity in the Reviewer Credit. |
Ethics in Publication
|
Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their work and ideas. All manuscripts are subject to peer review and are expected to meet standards of academic excellence. If approved by the editor, submissions will be considered by peer reviewers, whose identities will remain anonymous to the authors. Our Research Integrity team will occasionally seek advice outside standard peer review, for example, on submissions with serious ethical, security, biosecurity, or societal implications. We may consult experts and the academic editor before deciding on appropriate actions, including but not limited to recruiting reviewers with specific expertise, assessment by additional editors, and declining to further consider a submission. A. Relations with the other editors/editorial board The editor-in-chief will work with a team of section editors. They will confirm the roles and responsibilities of all editors and editorial staff (assistant editors), so that everybody is clear about who does what. The editorial board will be invited by the editors according with their expertise and levels of activity and involvement. BDS journal has a policy of appointing editors for a fixed time period, and the editorial committee will discuss possible changes if necessary. Changes in the direction of the journal to redefine its scope must be undertaken in agreement with the other editors and the publisher; otherwise editorial decisions may be inconsistent. New aims and scope need to be agreed on and clearly published in whatever medium the journal uses to communicate with authors, reviewers, and editors. Plagiarism Authors must not use the words, figures, or ideas of others without attribution. All sources must be cited at the point they are used, and reuse of wording must be limited and be attributed or quoted in the text. Brazilian Dental Science uses Turnitin to detect submissions that overlap with published and submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will be rejected. Authorship and acknowledgments All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript, approved its claims, and agreed to be an author. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution. Author contributions must be described on the Title Page, using roles defined by CRediT. Changes in authorship must be declared to the journal and agreed to by all authors. Anyone who contributed to the research or manuscript preparation, but is not an author, should be acknowledged with their permission. Submissions by anyone other than one of the authors will not be considered. Conflicts of interest Conflicts of interest (COIs, also known as ‘competing interests’) occur when issues outside research could be reasonably perceived to affect the neutrality or objectivity of the work or its assessment. This can happen at any stage in the research cycle, including during the experimentation phase, while a manuscript is being written, or during the process of turning a manuscript into a published article. If unsure, declare a potential interest or discuss with the editorial office. Submissions with undeclared conflicts that are later revealed may be rejected. Conflicts of interest do not always stop work from being published or prevent someone from being involved in the review process. However, they must be declared. A clear declaration of all possible conflicts – whether they actually had an influence or not – allows others to make informed decisions about the work and its review process. If conflicts of interest are found after publication, this may be embarrassing for the authors, the Editor and the journal. It may be necessary to publish a corrigendum or reassess the review process. Conflicts include the following:
B. Relation with authors Authors must declare all potential interests in a ‘Conflicts of interest’ section, which should explain why the interest may be a conflict. If there are none, the authors should state “The author(s) declare(s) that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.” Submitting authors are responsible for coauthors declaring their interests. Authors must declare current or recent funding (including article processing charges) and other payments, goods or services that might influence the work. All funding, whether a conflict or not, must be declared in the ‘Funding Statement’. The involvement of anyone other than the authors who 1) has an interest in the outcome of the work; 2) is affiliated to an organization with such an interest; or 3) was employed or paid by a funder, in the commissioning, conception, planning, design, conduct, or analysis of the work, the preparation or editing of the manuscript, or the decision to publish must be declared. Declared conflicts of interest will be considered by the editor and reviewers and included in the published article. The editors recommend that the authors pay attention to the current guidelines. These instructions should clearly state what is expected of authors and what the journal will do in cases of suspected misconduct such as plagiarism or data fabrication. The authors should consult the link to the COPE flowcharts (http://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts) and Retraction Guidelines (http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines). BDS provides in its website a “check list” of what is expected from authors to maintain standards of manuscripts. Decisions to accept or reject a paper for publication will be based only on the paper’s importance, originality, and clarity, and the study’s relevance to the remit of the journal. Work with the journal publisher/editorial office to determine processes for handling submissions that are the most efficient and appropriate for the journal. The electronic submission system aids authors in providing all required information (e.g., authorship declarations, funding information). All elements must be completed before a manuscript is sent for peer review (chasing details at a later stage can delay publication and upset schedules). BDS will consider checking for the following elements (as appropriate):
BDS adopts and promotes an authorship policy that is appropriate to the field of research. This will include:
C. Editors and Reviewers
Editors and reviewers must declare if they have previously discussed the manuscript with the authors. BDS provides guidance to reviewers on everything that is expected of them. Guidelines are available in our website and from COPE (COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers. http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines). This guidance is regularly updated and is referred to the COPE Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines (http://publicationethics.org/resources/code-conduct). BDS will consider the following points:
BDS has systems for assessing the performance of reviewers and removing from the database those whose performance is not acceptable. BDS also has systems in place to ensure that peer reviewers’ identities are protected. Reviewers will be asked to address ethical aspects of the submission such as:
Reviewers must declare any remaining interests in the ‘Confidential’ section of the review form, which will be considered by the editor. Studies involving humans or animals If the work involves the use of human subjects, the author should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments involving humans. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed. All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and should be carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments, or the National Institutes of Health guide for the care and use of Laboratory animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978) and the authors should clearly indicate in the manuscript that such guidelines have been followed. The sex of animals must be indicated, and where appropriate, the influence (or association) of sex on the results of the study. Institutional review board and written informed consent For protocols involving the use of human subjects, authors should indicate in their Methods section that subjects’ rights have been protected by an appropriate Institutional Review Board and written informed consent was granted from all subjects. When laboratory animals are used, indicate the level of institutional review and assurance that the protocol ensured humane practices. |

Preprints
|
Brazilian Dental Science is open to submissions of preprints. A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready for submission to a journal that is deposited on trusted servers, prior to or in parallel with submission to a journal. A reliable preprint server needs to have a transparent moderation policy, offer DOI to submitted preprints, allow changes, comments and community evaluation with researcher endorsement and interoperability with other services and platforms. Only submissions of work previously deposited on public server platforms that meet these reliability and transparency characteristics will be accepted. The public platforms Preprints, SciELO Preprints and EmeRI are recommended for open discussion before approval and publication in the journal. If the article is accepted and published in Brazilian Dental Science, the authors must update their registration on the preprint server, providing the full reference of the publication in the journal. [Source: https://www.scielo.br/journal/jaos/about/#item-2] Commitment to Open Science and SciELO Criteria In alignment with the principles of Open Science and the rigorous criteria established by SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Brazilian Dental Science journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial quality and peer review for all submissions. Editorial Process for Preprint Manuscripts To ensure consistent quality and integrity across all published content, we wish to formally clarify the editorial process for manuscripts originating from preprint servers. All manuscripts derived from preprints will be subjected to the identical and complete editorial process as those spontaneously and voluntarily submitted directly to the Brazilian Dental Science submission system. This comprehensive process includes, but is not limited to:
This measure guarantees that regardless of the submission source (direct submission or preprint server), every manuscript accepted for publication in Brazilian Dental Science fully meets the journal’s high scientific and ethical standards, thereby fulfilling the requirements set forth by SciELO for Open Science practices. |
Peer Review Process
|
Reviewer Guidelines and Policies Brazilian Dental Science follows a single-blind peer review process, in which reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities, but the authors do not know who the reviewers are. Reviewers are expected to evaluate all submissions impartially, focusing on the scientific merit and relevance of the work, regardless of author background or institutional affiliation. The peer review process will be in the simple anonymous method, in which the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers, but the reviewers know the identity of the authors. The name of the Associate Editor will be published in the final version of the article.
Responsibilities of Reviewers
Reviewer Accreditation Reviewers may opt to receive recognition for their review activities via the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service (Publons). This accreditation is offered free of charge and requires a registered profile on Publons. Publication of Reviews For transparency and to uphold open science principles, reviewer comments will be published alongside the article. The name of the reviewer will only be disclosed if the reviewer provides explicit written consent; otherwise, reviews will be published anonymously. Evaluation Criteria Reviews should address the following:
Communication Comments directed to the authors should be constructive and polite, avoiding derogatory language. Additional confidential remarks to the editor may be included as appropriate. If major revisions are suggested, clear instructions and justification should be given to help authors address concerns. Reviewer Anonymity and Recognition While the journal practices single-blind review, reviewer names are not disclosed to authors. Reviewers can request recognition for their work through the Publons platform, if desired. Compliance with Journal and International Standards Reviewers are expected to follow both the policies established by Brazilian Dental Science and the broader standards set forth by leading indexing databases, ensuring reviews are fair, unbiased, and methodologically sound. This version clarifies the step-by-step timeline for review acceptance and completion, and continues to include publication procedures for reviewer comments and name consent. |
Open Data
|
Brazilian Dental Science recommends and encourages that research data deposited in repositories be cited, referenced, and made available at SciELO Data or IBICT . Manuscripts must be accompanied by a data availability statement for the data used or generated in the research underlying the texts. |
Fees
|
APC Publication Fees
There are no fees for the submission and evaluation process of articles. Note: The Article Processing Charge (APC) will be applied for articles submitted to the system OJS as of August 25th, 2021. |

Brazilian Dental Science uses Turnitin to detect submissions that overlap with published and submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will be rejected. A plagiarism check using Turnitin will be conducted at the beginning of the process by the Assistant Editors of the Brazilian Dental Science team. A similarity percentage below 25% is recommended. Submissions that exceed this limit will be evaluated by the Section Editor: cases with similarity between 25% and 50% may require a reduction in similarity before being sent for peer review, while articles with similarity above 50% may be subject to immediate rejection. Authorship and acknowledgments All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript, approved its claims, and agreed to be an author. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution. Author contributions must be described on the Title Page, using roles defined by CRediT. Changes in authorship must be declared to the journal and agreed to by all authors. Anyone who contributed to the research or manuscript preparation, but is not an author, should be acknowledged with their permission. Submissions by anyone other than one of the authors will not be considered. |
Policy on Conflict of Interest
|
Brazilian Dental Science adopts a strict conflict of interest management policy to ensure the impartiality and credibility of the editorial process. Authors, reviewers, and editors must declare any situations that may influence — or be perceived as influencing — the evaluation, publication, or interpretation of scientific papers. What is considered a conflict of interest? A conflict of interest is understood to be any personal, professional, academic or financial relationship that compromises the objectivity of the editorial process, including, but not limited to:
Disclosure and Treatment
The existence of a declared conflict does not necessarily imply the rejection of the work. Each case will be analyzed by the Editorial Committee, which may adopt measures such as:
Failure to disclose a conflict of interest identified later will result in editorial actions, which may include disqualification of the manuscript or public notification. Brazilian Dental Science reinforces its commitment to research ethics, in line with the guidelines of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

Adoption of Similarity Software
|
A plagiarism detection “Turnitin” will be performed in the beginning of the process by the Assistant Editors of Brazilian Dental Science team. A match percentage of less than 25% is recommended. A plagiarism detection using Turnitin will be performed at the beginning of the process by the Assistant Editors of the Brazilian Dental Science team. A match percentage of less than 25% is recommended. Submissions exceeding this threshold will be evaluated by the Section Editor: cases with similarity between 25% and 50% may require a reduction in similarity before being sent for peer review, while articles with similarity above 50% may be subject to immediate rejection. |
Adoption of Software Using Artificial Intelligence Resources
|
Artificial Intelligence Given that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is quite controversial in the scientific writing process, Brazilian Dental Science recommends caution in their use and defines its actions based on the COPE guidelines. Authors who use Artificial Intelligence tools in the writing of the manuscript, in the production of images or graphic elements of the article, must present in the Methodology section which AI tool was used and how it was employed. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even in parts produced by AI, and are therefore liable for any breach of publication ethics. Authors are advised to use generative artificial intelligence and AI-assisted technologies (e.g. ChatGPT-3, ChatGPT-4) exclusively for the purpose of improving readability and linguistic quality during the writing process. The use of these technologies should be carried out with human supervision and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the content generated, as AI has the potential to produce content that may appear reliable, but may be incorrect, incomplete or biased. Artificial Intelligence or AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as author or co-author. Authorship implies responsibilities and attributions that can only be carried out by humans. When using AI or AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors will need to include a statement in the “Ethics” section with the following content: Statement of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process: During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used [NAME OF TOOL / SERVICE] for [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the authors have reviewed and edited the content appropriately and take full responsibility for the content of the publication. This statement does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references, etc. If there is nothing to communicate, there is no need to add this statement. |
Gender and Sex Issues
