  • Decision (decide the fate of submitted manuscripts according to scientific and ethical parameters);
  • Neutrality (evaluation based strictly on the intellectual content of the manuscripts (without any distinction regarding the authors);
  • Confidentiality (non-disclosure of the manuscript beyond those involved in the editorial process);
  • Non-evaluation (in cases involving conflicts of interest);
  • Non-disclosure (of content not published without proper authorization from the author(s);
  • Investigation (investigation in cases of ethical complaints about submitted or published manuscripts);
  • Verification (checking for copyright infringement, plagiarism, legal requirements, and defamation);
  • Guarantee (ensuring the maintenance of scientific knowledge from the decision to publish;
  • Legality (verify/contact authors, in case of doubts about the legislation that governs the place where the research was carried out);
  • Specificity (being specific in your critique, even if objective).
