BRIEF HISTORY
Launched in March 2003, Trabalho, Educação e Saúde (TES) (Work, Education and Health) is an open-access scientific journal published by the Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venâncio, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. It is intended for the publication of debates, analyses, and research, both theoretical and applied, on topics related to the fields of education and health, discussing them from the perspective of contemporary work organization, from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective.
Professional training and qualification and the healthcare work process are central themes of the journal, which believes that it contributes to the improvement of social policies in general and the Unified Health System (SUS) in particular.
TES's editorial policy follows the Open Science modus operandi of research communication.
Certain to contribute to the consolidation of its central and unique theme—education and health from a work perspective—TES seeks to reach researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, professionals linked to health services, and teachers and managers in the field of professional health education.
The journal Trabalho, Educação e Saúde does not charge any type of fee, either for editorial processing or for article publication.
Since January 2018, TES has ceased publishing the print version and has adopted an exclusively digital version with continuous publication. In 2021, it began using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) for submission management.
OPEN ACCESS
Aligned with Open Science practices, TES guarantees Open Access to all its content, allowing unrestricted virtual access (including no financial restrictions) to all scientific texts published by the journal.
Open access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties using an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full texts of the articles, track them for indexing, pass them on as data to software or use them for any other lawful purpose.
The journal is a signatory of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which means that all content is freely available, at no cost to the user or their institution. Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or create links to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without requesting prior permission from the publisher or author.
COMPLIANCE WITH OPEN SCIENCE
This journal follows the Gold Open Access model. At the time of submission, the author must complete and attach the Open Science Compliance Form.
ETHICS IN PUBLISHING
The editorial process of TES is guided by the norms and recommendations of ethical and responsible standards in scientific communication, established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), by the principles of ethics in publication, established in the “Basic Practices” and “Flowcharts” of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), as well as the SciELO Codes of Ethics, present in the “Guide to Good Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication.”
Trabalho, Educação e Saúde is affiliated with and follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Requests and appeals will be reviewed by the editor responsible for the article and the editor-in-chief, considering: expert opinions, editorial autonomy regarding the relevance and consistency of contributions, and in light of ethical principles and best practices in research and publication.
Below, we highlight some of the main responsibilities of the professionals involved in the publication.
Authors
- Authors agree to be aware of the full content of the instructions to authors of the TES.
- When submitting an article, authors must ensure that it is original and has not been simultaneously submitted for publication in another journal. It is worth mentioning that TES accepts manuscripts published in recognized preprint repositories.
- If there is a previous publication that presents similar content or overlaps with that of the submitted article, authors must inform the editors at the time of submission and provide a copy of the similar or overlapping material for an editorial decision.
- With regard to authorship, TES follows the ICMJE Recommendations. The following are the authorship criteria that must be met by all those designated as authors: (1) substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of the work's data; (2) preparation of preliminary versions of the article or critical review of significant intellectual content; (3) final approval of the version to be published; (4) agreement to be responsible for all aspects of the work, in order to ensure that issues relating to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are properly investigated and resolved. Professionals who do not meet all four requirements, although they have contributed to the article in other ways, should be mentioned in the acknowledgments, but not identified as authors. Authors are responsible for acknowledging and obtaining written permission from all those mentioned in the acknowledgments section.
- Still regarding authorship, authors should indicate their contribution at each stage of article preparation according to the following list, based on the CRediT Taxonomy: study conception, data curation, data collection, data analysis, writing – original manuscript, writing – revision, and editing. Other information, such as: funding, ethical considerations, conflicts of interest, and prior submission, should also be indicated in the manuscript presentation.
- The corresponding author, who is responsible for communicating with the journal during article submission, peer review, and the publication process, must ensure that all authors have reviewed the final version of the manuscript and agreed to its submission to TES.
- Authors are responsible for maintaining adequate records of study data and providing access to such data when requested by editors. TES encourages the filing of datasets in a thematic repository or, when none exists, in a general or institutional repository, in order to facilitate sharing with other researchers, as recommended by the ICMJE.
- Authors must confirm that all cited sources are accurate and complete. When there is doubt regarding the inclusion of citations and their respective references, the cited document is verified or requested.
- If, during the evaluation process, editors or reviewers detect excessive self-citation by authors and/or the journal, the corresponding author, or even all authors, are contacted for clarification in order to support the decision-making process.
- Any form of scientific misconduct, such as data fabrication, data falsification, misappropriation of data and materials, and plagiarism, is unacceptable and constitutes grounds for manuscript rejection at any stage of the editorial process, in which case the editor will initiate the appropriate procedures detailed by COPE. If scientific misconduct is detected after publication, TES will proceed to retract the article in accordance with COPE's "Withdrawal Guidelines".
- The author, or first author, of a scientific article must verify the accuracy of data produced by third parties, including collaborators on co-authored articles, avoiding indifference to the risk that the material may be false, fabricated, or plagiarized, which may constitute misconduct due to negligence.
- Authors should attach, at the time of submission, if applicable, the study approval protocol from a Research Ethics Committee involving human or animal subjects. If applicable, they should also provide information on obtaining free and informed consent from the participants.
- Because it involves public trust in the scientific process and the credibility of published articles, authors must declare any conflicts of interest that could influence the development of the study or their conduct. This declaration should be made in the body of the article, immediately after the references.
- If authors identify any errors in the article, at any stage of the editorial process, or even after publication, they should contact the editorial team. In such situations, they are expected to cooperate with the editors for a possible publication of an erratum, expression of concern, or retraction of the article.
Reviewers
COPE has produced guidelines that establish the basic principles and standards to which all reviewers must adhere, which we reproduce below. We recommend reading the full document at https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines-new/cope-ethical-guidelines-peer-reviewers. Thus, during the peer review process, reviewers must:
- agree to review only manuscripts whose subject matter falls within their area of expertise, so that they can perform an adequate and timely assessment.
- not use the information obtained during the peer review process for their own benefit or that of another person or organization, or to harm or discredit third parties.
- respect the confidentiality of peer review and do not disclose any details of a manuscript or its review, during or after the peer review process, beyond those disclosed by the journal. They must also understand that plagiarism during the review process is considered misconduct.
- declare all potential conflicts of interest, seeking advice from the journal if they are unsure whether something constitutes a relevant interest. If such conflicts could influence the evaluation, reviewers must decline the invitation.
- not to allow their reviews to be influenced by a manuscript's origins, nationality, religious or political beliefs, racial issues, gender or other characteristics of the authors, or by commercial considerations.
- alert the editors to any suspected similarity to another article.
- be objective and constructive in their eviews, refrain from being hostile and from making defamatory or derogatory personal comments.
Editors
The editors of TES are committed to acting in accordance with best editorial practices and to supporting initiatives to prevent scientific misconduct and encourage ethics in publishing.
They also must:
- ensure that all articles considered for publication, in addition to being relevant, original and qualified, comply with research ethics standards, especially in the case of research involving human beings and animals.
- declare all potential conflicts of interest. If such conflicts could influence the evaluation, the editor must decline the invitation and inform the Editorial Coordination.
- treat the manuscript and all submitted supplementary material confidentially, protecting the identity of reviewers and authors, since TES adopts a double-blind peer review procedure, except in the case of preprint evaluation, in which the evaluation is single-blind, since the identity of the authors is known.
- ensure that all published manuscripts have been properly evaluated by qualified reviewers (including statistical review, when necessary), not sharing with anyone, except the authors and reviewers themselves, information about their content and status in the review process, reviewer critiques, and their final destination.
- select competent external reviewers in the subject areas of the articles;
- seek reviewers who produce high-quality, courteous reports within a reasonable timeframe.
- provide clear guidance to external reviewers and request that they indicate any potential conflicts of interest before submitting the full text of the article for evaluation.
- act ethically at all stages of the editorial process, without discriminating against the origin of the manuscript, nationality, religious or political beliefs, gender or other characteristics of the authors, and without being guided by commercial interests.
- adopt a transparent editorial policy, provide clear instructions to authors, including on the steps of the editorial process and authorship criteria, and periodically update the instructions to authors.
- follow COPE guidelines in cases of suspected publication misconduct, investigate each suspected situation, and publish corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions, when appropriate.
- provide means for journal staff members involved in the editorial process, including the editors themselves, to receive training and stay up-to-date on the latest guidelines, recommendations, and evidence regarding scientific publishing.
- acknowledge the reviewers' contribution to the journal by publishing a thank-you note to them in the last issue of each year.
- ensure the editorial autonomy of the journal in relation to its sponsoring institution, the Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venâncio, a scientific unit of the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, thus avoiding academic endogamy.
- encourage reviewers to report any suspected plagiarism, duplicate publication, or other forms of publication misconduct.
- use plagiarism detection tools to avoid this form of misconduct, as well as to prevent duplicate publication.
- any form of scientific misconduct is unacceptable and constitutes grounds for rejection of the manuscript at any stage of the editorial process, in which case the editor will initiate the appropriate procedures detailed by COPE.
