Anti-Plagiarism Guidelines

Before initiating the Peer Review process, the Revista Brasileira de Meio Ambiente employs a plagiarism screening system consisting of the following steps:

The author submits the article to the journal.
The editor uses the CopySpider software (https://copyspider.com.br/main/). If the manuscript falls within the accepted percentage for publication (up to 3%), it proceeds to the evaluation process.
The editor uses Turnitin Similarity software. If the manuscript meets the acceptable specifications recommended by the software, it will proceed to the evaluation process.
The Peer Review process is initiated, during which reviewers are encouraged to use, in addition to CopySpider, other anti-plagiarism software during their assessment.
If any discrepancies regarding academic plagiarism or self-plagiarism are identified during the evaluation process, the review form includes a dedicated section for this issue. If this section is filled out negatively, the manuscript will be entirely rejected.
