The editors strive to maintain the quality and relevance of the publication, which includes ensuring that the evaluation of the submitted papers is objective, fair, and conducted according to the norms and standards of scientific research in the area of Management. The editors, through selected evaluators, will seek to promote a competent and impartial evaluation of articles. Editors will seek reviewers who are not from the same institution as the authors of the article and are not co-authors of such authors. They will also seek to forward submissions to reviewers with qualifications compatible with the work to be evaluated (NAPRM, 2010). The editors of REA UFSM have full responsibility and authority to reject/accept an article The final decision to accept or reject articles belongs to the editors while considering the quality, originality, relevance, and their adherence to the editorial line of REA UFSM. This decision may eventually counteract the recommendations identified by the evaluators, as long as duly justified. "The editor is not a hostage of the opinions and reviews he/she receives, although if he/she needs to contradict them, do so with ethics and very clear insight" (NAPRM, 2010). The editor must have no conflict of interest regarding the articles he/she rejects/accepts. If the editor identifies a conflict of interest, he/she will the pass decision-making responsibility to one of the members of the editorial board, as long as the editorial committee also has no conflict of interest. The editors must only accept an article when they are reasonably certain of their decision. The editors must publish corrections when they find any mistake in the publication. The editors must preserve the anonymity of the evaluators. Everyone involved in the evaluation process must ensure the confidential treatment of the manuscripts submitted. The editors cannot use or appropriate knowledge acquired during the article evaluation process. 5. Ethics issues in publication Monitoring/safeguarding publication ethics by the Editorial Board The Editorial Board of REA UFSM is responsible for monitoring compliance with this code of ethics. In addition, the board must be aware of changes in the scientific publishing standards of the area of Management. Guidelines for retracting articles (based on COPE, 2013) REA UFSM editors may consider retracting an article if:
Withdrawal notices must state the reasons and grounds for retraction (to distinguish cases of misconduct from those of honest mistakes) and must also specify who is retracting the article. They should be published in all versions of the journal (printed and electronic) and must include the title of the article and its authors. Maintaining the integrity of the academic work (based on COPE, 2013) If any misleading statement or distorted statement is identified in the publication, it must be promptly corrected and be highlighted in the journal.
