Errata and Retraction Policy

InSURgence: rights and social movements journal adopts procedures for registering and publishing errata, retractions and expressions of concern based on its Statement of Ethics on Publications and on the norms presented by SciELO, which in turn follow the guidelines of the main international ethics, indexing and scientific publication committees. The main reference in the journal area is the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Retraction Standards.

The journal adopted the following procedure:

1. Possible errors will be analysed in official editions or following receipt of reports of irregularities. Manifestations or requests for correction should be sent to the InSURgence's e-mail address: < insurgencia.revita@ipdms.org.br >

2. Based on COPE's general guidelines and specifically those of the Council of Science Editors, there are three methods for correcting scientific literature:

a) Errata: which refers to changes in parts of the article. Corrections can be made to the title of the article, the names of the authors or layout errors;

b) Retraction: which refers to partial corrections of the article due to methodological errors, incorrect analysis of data, scientific misconduct or non-reproducible research. The article may be removed from the journal's website;

c) Expression of concern: which refers to the publication of a warning by the editor when there is concern about the reliability of an article, but the information is insufficient to justify a retraction.

3. The editorial team may issue a retraction in the following cases: a. evidence that the research data is unreliable; b. the author's refusal to correct errors or mistakes; c. the existence of information without authorisation for use; d. copyright infringement or the existence of some other relevant legal issue; e. the existence of plagiarism or redundant publication; f. the absence of communication of a relevant conflict of interest to be assessed; g. there is some unethical content in the research.

4. The editorial team may not issue a retraction in the following cases: a. the existence of a dispute over the authorship of the publication; b. the possibility of correcting or sanitising the data; c. the absence of conclusive evidence; d. the existence of potential conflicts of interest, but with no concrete relevance to the case.

5. Allegations of misconduct by authors, reviewers and editors will be analysed by the Editorial Team within ninety days. This includes suspicions of discrepancies, plagiarism, falsification of data and other improper practices that could have an impact on editorial metrics. If misconduct is identified, the article that is the subject of the complaint will be excluded from the journal, with the respective justifications.
