Atmosfera abides by good publishing practices, including originality of manuscripts, disapproval of plagiarism, and transparency in authorship.

 

Originality

 

It refers to the fact that the manuscript has not been published (with the exception of theses or conference abstracts) or submitted simultaneously to another journal.

 

Plagiarism

 

It is unacceptable to try to publish information that does not belong to the authors and even less if the respective credit is not given. It is considered a bad practice for authors to reuse already published information without citing it or presenting it as new. In either case, manuscripts that incur in any of these faults will be withdrawn from the evaluation process.

 

Authorship

 

Once a manuscript has been submitted, the authors’ metadata will not be modified, unless it is explicitly requested by all the authors through a letter explaining the reasons for removing, adding or changing the order that they first specified when submitting it.
