Plagiarism Policy

This journal aims to publish high-quality original research papers. Manuscript submission to this journal indicates that the study has not been published in any other journal or submitted for publication in another journal. If the author(s) are using any part of an already published article (in English or another language), they must provide the appropriate reference or, in any case, must obtain permission from the publisher or copyright holder (whichever is appropriate, as the case may be).

O Mundo da Saúde has a plagiarism screening policy. Plagiarized manuscripts will not be considered for publication. If plagiarism is detected in any published article, after internal investigation, a letter will be immediately sent to all authors, their affiliated institutes and funding agency (if applicable), and the article will be withdrawn from the journal. We use the iThenticate (Plagiarism detection Software) software for tracking similar texts

It is also emphasized that all publications, data, program codes, and other materials that were used in the research must be duly referenced.
