The State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC), governed by Normative Instruction No. 18, dated December 2, 2019, establishes guidelines for the use of anti-plagiarism software. Specifically: files will be submitted for content similarity verification through anti-plagiarism software, to be evaluated and approved by the scientific journals that comprise the UDESC Journal Portal. Scientific articles must first undergo peer review and editorial evaluation. The similarity check will be conducted only after the manuscript is accepted for publication by the editor. The report generated by the anti-plagiarism software will serve as an indicator of the similarity level, assisting in the detection of plagiarism. The higher the similarity percentage, the greater the likelihood of plagiarism. Properly cited quotations and references, in accordance with technical standards, may be disregarded from the analysis.

This journal is a member of the Similarity Check, an initiative launched by Crossref that brings together several journals with the goal of protecting the originality of published content.
Similarity Check uses the iThenticate software to detect overlaps and similarities between submitted manuscripts and previously published materials from other sources.
By depositing all our content into the Similarity Check database, we enable other editors to compare their submitted manuscripts against previously published content.
