Duties and responsibilities of editors

The issue editors as well as the editors-in-chief are responsible for all the content published in the journal Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens.

Their code of conduct recommends that they:

  1. strive to meet the needs of readers and authors; 
  2. ensure the quality of the material they publish;
  3. uphold freedom of expression;
  4. be alert to and condemn conducts of falsification of data and results;
  5. encourage authors to disclose the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted technologies when it is the case to promote transparency and trust between all parties.
  6. inform that Generative AI or AI-assisted technologies should not be indicated as authors or co-authors. Authorship implies responsibilities that can only be assigned by human beings.
  7. condemn all forms of plagiarism;
  8. pay attention to the originality of published texts so that they do not publish texts that authors have already published, either in whole or in part, in other publications;
  9. never use Generative AI or AI-assisted technologies to automatise the reviewing process, which implies a critical analysis by a human peer.
  10. condemn false statements concerning the curriculum;
  11. always be available to publish corrections, clarifications and apologies when necessary.
  12. issue editors may not publish their own articles in their issue. They must only sign the introduction presenting the topic and the issue.
