Publication Ethics and Integrity

Revista Aspas is committed to the highest standards of publication ethics, following international and national guidelines. Revista Aspas adheres to recommendations from the codes of ethics provided by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), and CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel – Ministry of Education, Brazil).

All participants — authors, editors, reviewers, and the institution — share responsibility for the integrity of the publication process.

 

1. Authorship and Contribution

  • All authors must have made significant contributions to the manuscript, including conception, writing, critical review, or final approval.

  • Each author must approve the final version of the manuscript before submission.

  • All contributions should be clearly identified to prevent inappropriate authorship or omission of contributors.

2. Complaints, Appeals, and Corrections

  • Revista Aspas investigates all ethical complaints impartially and objectively.

  • Corrections, clarifications, or retractions may be published as necessary, transparently.

  • Internal procedures specify responsible parties and timelines to ensure clarity and efficiency.

3. Conflicts of Interest

  • Authors must declare any financial, academic, or personal conflicts of interest that could influence the research.

  • Editors and reviewers must recuse themselves from decisions when conflicts of interest exist.

4. Data Sharing and Reproducibility

  • Whenever possible, the data and materials used in the articles should be made available to reproduce results, in line with open science principles.

5. Ethical Oversight

  • When applicable, authors should submit a declaration of ethics committee approval or equivalent documentation.

  • This approach is flexible and adapted to the specificities of performing arts and theater research.

6. Intellectual Property

  • Authors retain copyright under a Creative Commons license, ensuring sharing and open access.
