To avoid plagiarism, authors should be aware of the recommendations as follows:

- Citations: follow the ABNT style formatting guidelines. It involves adding the names of the authors and the date of publication or similar information. It may constitute plagiarism in case of not citing it correctly. When citing a source, use the phrase exactly as it appears in the original text.

- Making reference to a citation: this practice does not need the use of apud as the citation is within the work of another author. Attention when informing the page, year and both involved authors (the one cited and the one citing).

- Self-citation: the authors should self-cite when citing their own previously published ideas. Using previously published material without proper reference constitutes self-plagiarism.
