Code of Ethics

Dispositiva's Code of Ethics is inspired by scientific practices based on the principles of plurality, rigor and social commitments that guide the activities of the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais and the Federal University of Minas Gerais, whose Post-Graduation Programs in Communication are responsible for the journal's publication. This Code of Ethics aims to guarantee good practices of scientific dissemination, open access and free of charge for publishing and reading, with commitments from all parties involved: authors, reviewers and editors. Our objective is that all people involved are committed to Dispositiva's editorial quality, ensuring that discriminatory practices of any nature, as well as plagiarism or self-plagiarism, are avoided. As part of the verification criteria for admissibility in the review stage, the articles will be submitted to a plagiarism detection software.
