Policies

   Articles submitted for publication by AHS are triple-blinded peer-review (authors, reviewers, and section editors are anonymous among themselves), guided by the recommendations for the preparation, writing, editing, and publication of academic works in medical journals from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly work in Medical Journals; http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf), following the norms of ethical behavior and good practices of the Publication Ethics Committee (COPE; http://publicationethics.org) and the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (http://publicationethics.org/resources/code-conduct).

 AHS is affiliated to the Brazilian Association of Scientific Editors (ABEC; https://www.abecbrasil.org.br) and is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources (https://road.issn.org/), the Abstracts of Brazilian Journals (https://www.sumarios.org/), Google Scholar, the Directory of Brazilian Scientific Journals (MIGUILIM) and the Regional Information System for Scientific Journals of Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal (Latindex).
