Article Evaluation Policy

The journal receives contributions on a continuous basis. For any section, only manuscripts submitted through the electronic submission system will be accepted.

The evaluation of manuscripts has two dimensions: administrative and scientific.

In the administrative process, the submitted manuscript is checked by the editorial team for compliance with the standards.

• If negative, the material is returned to the authors for adjustments and the submission is not completed.
• If affirmative, the manuscript moves on to evaluation by the scientific editors, and an analysis process begins to verify if the manuscript meets the journal's scope and the requirements of a scientific production. If negative for any of these items, the manuscript is summarily rejected.

Scientific Content: If deemed compliant, the scientific editors delegate the evaluation of the manuscript to ad hoc reviewers to issue an opinion. HERE adopts the double-blind peer review model, which consists of two or more referees designated to review the manuscript anonymously, both for the authors in relation to the reviewers and for the reviewers in relation to the authors.

The opinion based on the evaluation can be: 1- Accepted; 2- Minor corrections; 3- Major corrections; 4- Resubmit; 5- Rejected; and 6- Submit to another journal (does not meet the scope). The opinions issued by the reviewers are evaluated by the associate editors and the Editor-in-Chief, who sends the opinion to the authors. The authors need to meet the deadlines given by the journal, under the risk of having their manuscript filed.

Scientific Integrity, Retraction, and Correction

HERE follows the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and the flowcharts of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (https://publicationethics.org/) to take appropriate editorial actions in cases of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, redundant publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and post-publication criticisms that may lead to correction or retraction. Such practices may be identified during the review process or even after publication. Authors must adhere to the standards of good conduct and scientific integrity provided in these guidelines, and ad hoc reviewers are instructed to remain vigilant for possible author misconduct.

HERE requires compliance with the standards set forth in the resolutions of the National Health Council (466/2012, 510/2016, 580/2018, General Data Protection Law (LGPD), Law No. 13.709/2018, Law No. 14.874/2024 governing research with human subjects, and any others that apply) regarding research involving human subjects conducted in Brazil. For research involving human subjects conducted in other countries, HERE requires compliance with the standards provided in the Declaration of Helsinki or equivalent local guidelines.

Conflicts of Interest

All conflicts of interest, if any, must be declared upon manuscript submission and presented on the title page. Potential sources of conflict of interest include, but are not limited to patents, ownership of shares in companies directly or indirectly involved in the research, participation in a board of directors of a company directly or indirectly involved in the research, participation in an advisory board or committee of a company directly or indirectly involved in the research, and consultancy or receipt of lecturer fees from a company directly or indirectly involved in the research. The existence of conflicts of interest does not prevent publication, as long as they are properly declared.

Fee Payment

In the submission and pre-review process of the manuscript, authors must attach proof of payment of the compliance fee. Its value is R$ 100.00 (via PayPal or PagSeguro), and the proof of payment must contain the payer's name and visible payment date. Payments can also be made via PIX: 33.989.468/0001-00 (CNPJ). Manuscripts without proof of this fee payment will not be reviewed. The compliance fee is not refundable if the manuscript is not accepted for publication.

If accepted for publication after review, the authors of the manuscript must pay the editing fee, in the amount of R$ 500.00 (via PayPal or PagSeguro). Payments can also be made via PIX: 33.989.468/0001-00 (CNPJ) or via bank transaction: Associação Brasileira de Enfermagem, CNPJ 33.989.468/0001-00, Banco do Brasil, Agência 0452-9, Conta 220.482-7.

In case of an erratum due to author oversight, a fee of R$ 100.00 must be paid.

For institutional payments, please contact tesouraria@abennacional.org.br.

Technical Review of Portuguese Language and Translation of Abstracts (English and Spanish), and the Manuscript into English

When the article is accepted, after going through the entire editing process, the author will receive an email from the editorial office (apoio.here@abennacional.org.br) with instructions on:

• Certified translators and reviewers by HERE listed in this document.
• The documents to be sent in the final template (provided only by the office).

The return of the manuscript in the revised and certified versions (and translated, if applicable) as well as proof of payment of the editing fee with the payer's name and visible payment date, must be attached via the OJS system within the requested time frame. Failure to meet this deadline and/or non-compliance with the template (final template sent by the office) will result in the archiving of the manuscript.

At this point, carefully check the submission of the manuscript according to the final template (author names, institution, ORCID, order of authorship, etc.).
