Commitment to Open Science and Continuous Publishing

The journal Gestão & Saúde, affiliated with the University of Brasília, reaffirms its commitment to the principles of Open Science, promoting editorial practices focused on transparency, accessibility, and the expansion of scientific dialogue with society.

In this regard, the journal adopts the following guidelines:

  • Open Access: All articles are published in open access to readers and authors, ensuring broad dissemination of scientific knowledge.

  • Continuous Publishing: The journal adopts a continuous publishing system, which ensures greater agility in the dissemination of works, reduces the time between submission and publication, and strengthens the circulation of up-to-date scientific information.

  • Promotion of Open Science: The journal encourages authors to share research data, code, protocols, and other supplementary materials in public repositories, respecting the principles of reproducibility and scientific transparency.

  • Digital Identifiers and Authorial Transparency: All articles receive a DOI, and authors are encouraged to provide their ORCID. Declarations of individual contributions, sources of funding, and potential conflicts of interest are also required.

  • Editorial Best Practices: Gestão & Saúde maintains a peer review process based on ethical and technical standards. It is constantly being updated to gradually incorporate practices such as open peer review and public acknowledgment of reviewers.

Gestão & Saúde, aligned with the principles of Open Science, promotes transparency, reproducibility, and free access to knowledge. Authors, when handling sensitive data from human participants, must adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure privacy, informed consent, and the responsible use of information. Therefore:

Submission to a Research Ethics Committee is mandatory before data collection begins.

Even within Open Science contexts, personal data may only be shared in anonymized form, and with explicit ethical authorization.

Data sharing must comply with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD – Law No. 13.709/2018).

Through these measures, the journal contributes to the strengthening of science as a public good, promoting ethics, collaboration, and equitable access to scientific information.
