A abreviatura da Acta Paulista de Enfermagem é Acta Paul Enferm. Esta forma deve ser usada em bibliografias, notas de rodapé, referências e legendas bibliográficas. Acesso Aberto Este periódico segue o modelo de Acesso Aberto (Open Acess), permitindo o acesso virtual, sem restrição (incluindo restrições financeiras), a todos os textos científicos publicados pelo periódico. Acesso aberto é a condição em que o detentor dos direitos autorais de um trabalho acadêmico concede direitos de uso a terceiros usando uma licença aberta (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), permitindo acesso gratuito imediato ao trabalho e autorizando qualquer usuário a ler, baixar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, pesquisar ou vincular os textos completos dos artigos, rastreá-los para indexação, passá-los como dados para software ou usá-los para qualquer outra finalidade legal. Conformidade com a Ciência Aberta A Acta Paulista de Enfermagem apoia as práticas relacionadas à política de ciência aberta. Por definição: “Ciência Aberta é um conhecimento transparente e acessível, compartilhado e desenvolvido via redes colaborativas” (VICENTE-SÁEZ; MARTÍNEZ-FUENTES, 2018, p. 7). “Ciência Aberta é a prática da ciência de forma que outros podem colaborar e contribuir, onde dados de pesquisa, notas de laboratório e outros processos de pesquisa estão gratuitamente disponíveis sob termos que permitem reutilizar, redistribuir e reproduzir a pesquisa e seus dados e métodos” (FOSTER, 2019, p. 10). Ética na Publicação Combate ao Plágio “Além da prática ilegal de se apropriar da obra de terceiros sem autorização e sem a devida referência, este procedimento nefasto infecciona a pesquisa, produzindo danos irreparáveis.” (Comissão Nacional de Relações Institucionais e da Seccional da OAB/Ceará: 2010.19.07379-01; aprovada pelo Conselho Federal da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil; sessão plenária: 19/10/2010).
