Research ethics

Geografia em Atos (Online) requires compliance with the ethical issues involved in research. The following documents are taken into consideration:

  • National Health Council Resolution no. 510, of April 7, 2016;
  • National Health Council Resolution no. 466, of December 12, 2012.

Thus, in the case of research involving human beings, it is required:

  1. In cases of research submitted to an Ethics Committee:
    1. Include in the body of the manuscript the approval number of the Ethics Committee to which it was submitted;
    2. It is suggested that information be included about the ethical precautions taken by the authors during the production of the research;
  2. In the case of research not submitted to an ethics committee:
    1. Include a section on research ethics in the manuscript. We suggest reading chapter 23 of the e-book “Ethics and research in Education: subsidies - v. 1” (available at this link). - v.3 (available from ANPED at this link)

Ethical issues relating specifically to authors, evaluators and editors are described in the guidelines sections.
