Open Access

Vórtex Journal follows the Gold Open Access model, enabling virtual access, without restriction (including financial restrictions), to all scientific texts published by the journal. Open access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties using an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, track them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose.

COMPLIANCE WITH OPEN SCIENCE

Authors are requested to inform: (a) whether the manuscript is a preprint and, if so, its location; (b) whether data, program codes, and other materials underlying the manuscript text are properly cited and referenced; and (c) whether they accept options for openness in the peer review process. Vórtex Journal adopts the Open Science Compliance Form: https://wp.scielo.org/wp-content/uploads/Formulario-de-Conformidade-Ciencia-Aberta.docx

OPEN DATA AND MATERIALS

Authors are encouraged to make available all content (data, program codes, and other materials) underlying the manuscript text prior to or at the time of publication. Exceptions are permitted in cases of legal or ethical concerns. Authors are responsible for data storage and access, which must be deposited in open-access repositories, such as SciELO Data: https://data.scielo.org/. To facilitate reuse, data should be made available in open formats (for example, spreadsheets rather than PDFs). If data are restricted, the restriction must be justified in the article and a point of contact for access requests must be provided.The goal is to facilitate manuscript evaluation and, if approved, contribute to the preservation and reuse of content and research reproducibility. Vórtex Journal adopts practices of transparency and information sharing, promoting the publication of preprints on public platforms such as SciELO Preprints. The journal offers authors and reviewers options for openness in the peer review process, with or without identification of their names.
