História Hoje uses similarity checking software (Plagius) in all the papers submitted for publication. At any time during the evaluation process, if any evidence of conduct that may configure undue similarity or duplicate publication is identified, the evaluation of the work will be suspended then the Editor will present the problem to the authors and ask for explanations.

- Retractation: public statement of a significant error or ethical deviation found (plagiarism, copyright violation, data manipulation, among others) - reference document Guide for the registration and publication of retractions in SciELO Brazil.

- Errata: significant error that may compromise the information conveyed in the article - reference document Guide for the record and publication of errata in SciELO Brazil.

- Correction: minor errors in layout, formatting and spelling - reference document SciELO Brazil Guide for the record and publication of errata (item 5.1).

 

Conflict of Interest

Conflicts of interest may occur when documents produced may have been influenced in their production or evaluation process. Thus, it is necessary that authors, referees and editors declare the existence or not of conflicts of interest, which may be of personal, commercial, political, academic, financial nature, among others.

Thus, it is requested that authors declare potential conflicts of interest at the time of submission, the reviewers to do so at the time of acceptance and/or during the preparation of the manuscript, and that editors declare them throughout the process. The latter group, whenever necessary, before the Editorial Board.
