Editor Confidentiality

The editor must protect the confidentiality of all material submitted to the journal and all communications with reviewers, unless otherwise agreed with the relevant authors and reviewers.

In exceptional circumstances, and in consultation with the publisher, the editor may share limited information with editors of other journals, institutions, and organizations investigating cases of research misconduct when deemed necessary to investigate suspected ethical violations.

Unless the journal operates an open peer review system and/or reviewers have agreed to disclose their names, the editor must protect the reviewers' identities. The Brazilian Journal of Environment protects the identity of its reviewers.

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in the editor's own research without the author's express written consent. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.
