ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief Background

 

Hoehnea is currently the scientific journal of the Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais (IPA), published by the Instituto de Botânica since 1971, to replace the Arquivos de Botânica do Estado de São Paulo. Hoehnea publishes continuously, since 2020, original articles, reviews and scientific notes on all themes of Botany and Mycology in Portuguese, Spanish and mainly in English. It publishes articles in the area of Taxonomy, Systematics, Ecology, Physiology, Biochemistry, Plant Anatomy, Molecular Biology, Genetcs, and Phylogeny, covering studies in Vascular Plants, Algae and Fungi. The journal name honours the botanist Frederico Carlos Hoehne, founder and first Director of Instituto de Botânica. Hoehnea’s mission is to promote scientific production in the field of Botany and Mycology, offering scientists from Brazil and abroad the space to publish, disseminate and discuss the results of their research. It maintains a strong bias with the Environmental area, favouring inter/transversality with areas related to Botany and Mycology, such as Ecology, Environmental education, Health related to the Environment, Environmental microbiology, Recovery of degraded areas, Conservation of plant biodiversity and fungi in situ and ex situ, Collections of Cultures and Herbariums.

The abbreviated title of journal is Hoehnea, which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, references and bibliographic subtitles.

 

 

Open Science Compliance

 

Open Science is a movement that aims to make scientific knowledge open and shared with the scientific community and general public, Hoehnea adopts a series of practices, such as an open access policy, the use of social networks to disseminate articles, guides the editorial team on good scientific practices, doesn’t charge any fee to authors an requires indication of the role of each author in articles with multiple authors. Furthermore, allows the open sharing of data generated by scientific research, from laboratory, field and statistical analyses, protocols, procedures, scripts and supplementary materials, among others, made available in open online repositories such as ZENODO, Figshare e OSF. In addition, Hoehnea accepts some published materials as additional material at the scientific text (upon consultation with the Editorial Board). If the contents are published in the indicated repositories or others, the Authors must indicate and reference data access in the text of the footnote table/figure.

Hoehnea also encourages the publication of preprints on the Plataforma de Preprints do SciELO Brasil an is in favor of making peer review available, with or without identifying the names of the referees.

 

 

Ethics in Publication

 

Hoehnea is committed to ethical conduct and the quality of publications in the areas of Botany, Mycology and Biodiversity, complying with standards stablished by SciELO Brasil, Commitee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the Código de Boas Práticas Científicas da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo. The Editorial Board’s functions are clearly defined to guarantee the quality of the editorial process at all levels of the decision chain: Authors, Editor-in-Chief, Assistant Editors, Associate Editors, and Referees. The journal doesn’t tolerate plagiarism, unoriginal articles, breach of confidentiality, conflicts of interest, articles produced using methodologies don’t accepted by Science or of an unethical character.

 

 

Focus and Scope

 

Hoehnea is the official publication of Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais of Secretaria de Meio Ambiente, Infraestrutura e Logística do Estado de São Paulo.

Editorial Policy

 

Preprints

Hoehnea encourages the publication of preprints on the Platform SciELO Brazil - SciELO Preprints. Thereby, the journal hopes to speed up the communication and dissemination of manuscripts before definitive publication, enabling scientific content to reach the scientific community, the general population and students more quickly. 

 

Peer Review Process

According to Hoehnea’s Editorial Policy, the Editorial-in-Chief must follow the next criteria for the evaluation process: adequacy to the focus/scope of the journal and the technical standards defined by Editorial Board (formal standards of instructions to authors, content, coherence textual and theoretical-methodological, to be judged by expert in the areas).

The evaluation process consists of the steps: 

  • The ScholarOne System works with different levels of editing, and the manuscript is initially received by Administrator and the Editor-in-Chief.
  • The Editor-in-Chief initially checks the manuscript for adherence of the subject to the scope of the journal, format, quality of writing, illustrations, plagiarism, and basic standards. Upon agreement, and Associate Editor specializing in the area of the manuscript is select.
  • The Associate Editor is responsible for selecting and inviting at least two reviewers to evaluate the manuscript, who should preferably be from different institutions.
  • Reviewers will respond to an evaluation form previously established by ScholarOne that covers scientific merit, originality, quantity, and quality of illustrations, among other questions that should allow judging the adequacy of publication of the manuscript by Hoehnea. The completed form will appear in correspondence to authors regarding manuscript evaluation.
  • The reviewers will be able to download the manuscript files and insert comments, criticisms, and corrections directly in the texts, remembering, however, to deactivate the identification in the comment ballons, as Hoehnea does not disclose the identity of the Reviewers of the manuscripts. Only the names of the Associate Editors are disclosed together with the manuscripts edited by them. Reviewers must upload these files to the ScholarOne assessment or review area to make them available to authors.
  • The reviewers be able to create an independent file, containing the suggestions, criticisms, and comments for the authors, uploading it in the system to make it accessible to the authors in the future.
  • The manuscript recommendation scale includes: accepted, minor revision, major revision, reject bus with possibility of resubmission and reject.
  • Upon receiving the reviewer’s evaluations, the Editor-in-Chief will make the decision on the recommendations, eventually being able to send the manuscript to a third reviewer, when the opinions are inconclusive or conflicting.
  • The Editor-in-Chief sends the evaluations to the authors, who must carry out the corrections and modifications suggested for the manuscript, justifying in detail those that are not accepted. It is important to highlight in the text or in an attached list the changes that were made in the new version.
  • Although manuscripts are rated R1, R2, R3, and so on when new versions of the same work enter the system, ScholarOne understands them as new submissions. For this reason, Associate Editors are required to select and re-invite reviewers for the manuscript. Depending on the suitability status of the manuscript, the Associate Editor may return the new version to the old reviewers or take a decision immediately, considering that there is no longer a need for reviewers for the manuscript. At this stage, sending the manuscript to new reviewers is only recommended if the analysis requires some additional expertise for the evaluation.
  • Authors receive notification from the Editor-in-Chief that the manuscript has been accepted for publication in Hoehnea. From then on, the Technical Editor will contact the author to request the text files and illustrations in the formats and resolutions necessary for the layout, conversion into an xml.
  • In line with Open Science practices, Hoehnea began to suggest, from February 2024, the publication of opinions without identifying names, when authorized by referees. This publication is intended to occur at the end of each article.

 

Open Data

Aligned with the knowledge management policy of the Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais, which follows the guidelines of Open Science movement, Hoehnea adopts Open Access practices established in the Budapest OA Initiative (2002), the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (2003) and the Berlin Declaration (2003), which include the free availability of articles on the internet peer-reviewed scientific papers, permission to download, copy, print, research, disseminate, distribute, reference texts, under the sole condition of granting authors control over the integrity of their articles and the right to receive due credit for what is cited. When submitting the manuscript in the Electronic Submission System - ScholarOne, the System requests the indication of the role of each of the authors in articles with multiple authors and, upon their consent, the journal publishes the manuscripts in blindly process, but in one-blind review, keeping the secrecy of only the reviewers. Also, prior to definitive publication, the manuscript may be made available on the SciELO Brazil preprints portal, if the author is interested in making his research available immediately.

 

Fees

Hoehnea doesn’t charge any fees for published texts, figures or tables. It doesn’t to charge for evaluation, review, publishing, distribution, and downloading. The journal is open access to the entire scientific community and the general public. 

The financial sustainability of the periodical comes from resources from the Government of the State of São Paulo, including payment for layout, anti-plagiarism tool, xml markup and English revision of table headers and figure captions. The Portuguese, English and Spanish of the body of the text are responsibility of the authors.

 

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

The Editor-in-Chief must take appropriate measures and immediately remove work from the editorial flow when ethical complaints are presented regarding a submitted manuscript or published article. The most typical serious misconducts are:

  • Fabrication of data: assertion that data were obtained or conducted that, in fact, do not exist;
  • Falsification: presentation of results in a modified, inaccurate or incomplete manner;
  • Plagiarism: using ideas or phrases without giving due credit;
  • Disclosure of results from experiments prohibited by law or not accepted by Science.

The retraction by the Author will follow the Retraction Guidelines on Publication Ethics (COPE) which can be accessed at COPE - Retraction Guidelines.

Publication of errata: when an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must immediately inform the journal, which will take measures to publish an errata, in accordance with SciELO Brazil rules.

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

Conflicts of interest may arise when authors, evaluators or editors have interests that, apparent or not, may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts.

Hoehnea requests agents of the editorial process to immediately report any conflict of interest in the following situations: competitive, collaborative issues or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies or institutions linked to the manuscripts.

Authors are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced their work. Likewise, the journal encourages that, in the work, the sources of material support, direct or indirect, for carrying out and disseminating the research appear clearly and prominently.

 

Adoption of similarity software

Hoehnea seeks to make authors aware of the importance of producing entirely original works with correct citations. This precept is passed on to the Institute's students/employees and replicated in the Scientific Community. However, to curb the practice, programs such as iThenticate, Plagium and Grammarly are also used. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical editorial behaviour and scientific misconduct.

 

Gender and Sex Issues

The editorial team of the journal Hoehnea, in addition to the authors who publish in the journal, must always observe the guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research (Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER). The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of guidelines that guide the reporting of information about sex and gender in study design, data analysis, and results and interpretation of findings. Furthermore, the journal Hoehnea observes the gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.

 

Ethics Committee

When the submitted manuscript involves procedures that require the deliberation of an Ethics Committee, the authors must send an email to the Scientific Publications Centre of the Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais (IPA) (kmsilva@sp.gov.br) and the occurrence will be discussed with the IPA Executive Editors.

 

Copyright

The authors of articles published by the journal Hoehnea maintain the copyright of their works, licensing them under the license Creative Commons CC-BY, which allows articles to be reused and distributed without restriction, as long as the original work is correctly cited.

 

Intellectual Property and Terms of Use

  • Reviews;
  • Preprints.

 

Authors' Contribution

Since 2020, the ScholarOne Electronic Submission System began to require contributions from the Authors of the manuscript. Hoehnea considered this requirement very important to guarantee good scientific practices and ethics in research. In 2024, Hoehnea will begin following the CREDIT structure to improve the Author participation citation, placed in the manuscript after the “Acknowledgments” item.

 

Manuscript Preparation

To submit the manuscript to Hoehnea, the author must initially register in the ScholarOne Electronic Submission System, keeping contact data updated and periodically checking whether the editors' messages are in the “spam” or trash boxes of the email. The author must adopt this procedure for each new submitted manuscript.

The personal data of registered authors are protected by ScholarOne in accordance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

The author automatically receives proof of submission of the manuscript from the electronic system, which must not be responded to. Questions should be sent to the email: hoehnea.ipa@sp.gov.br

The manuscript submitted to the ScholarOne System must contain the identification of the authors, title, institutional affiliation and full address of all authors. The corresponding author may suggest possible reviewers (with their respective contact details), as well as declare that the manuscript has not be sent to other journals. The reviewers to be invited to analyze the manuscript, will be freely chosen by the Associate Editor, and will not necessarily be those suggested by the authors. Suggestions from reviewers who have professional ties with authors (colleagues from the same Department, collaborators with suggestions for the article, etc.) will not be considered and may delay the progress of the manuscript. The Author must express his agreement to transfer Copyright to the Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais, declare that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere entirely or in part, and that it has not been submitted to another journal.

In the first submission, manuscripts must consist of a single Word document (.doc, docx or .rtf), with low resolution tables and figures (150 to 300 dpi) attached at the end of the document, in the same file. This submission must be made through the Electronic Submission System - ScholarOne. Only after the manuscript has been definitively accepted for publication, the Technical Editor will request, in separate files, the tables and illustrations as high resolution images (600 dpi), together with the term of consent for the publication of the manuscript in Preprint format in the SciELO Portal.

 

Article Submission Format

General information - The manuscript must contain the information strictly necessary for understanding and be strictly within the journal's rules.

The originals must be in accordance with the Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts that do not fit these guidelines will be immediately returned to the author(s) for reformulation.

Manuscripts that comply with the Instructions for Authors will be sent to the Associate Editors, appointed by the Editor-in-Chief. In each case, the review will be transmitted anonymously to the authors. Manuscripts will be published in the order of acceptance by the Editorial Board, and not in the order of receipt.

Preparation of the original manuscript - use Word for Windows version 6.0 or higher, Times New Roman font, size 12, double spaced, aligning the text to the left margin, without justifying. Format the pages to A4 size, with 2 cm margins. Pages must be numbered and footnotes avoided. Do not exceed 50 (fifty) typed pages, including tables and figures for scientific articles and reviews. Scientific note must be limited to ten pages.

Add continuous line numbering to the side margin of each line in the document. Reviewers and Associate Editors will use this numbering to point out corrections/suggestions to the Authors, in separate files.

First page - must contain the title of the manuscript in bold, written in upper and lower case letters; full name of the authors (written according to the authors' decision), with the initials capitalized and lowercase; name of the institution, full address of the authors and electronic address only for the corresponding author (these must be placed as footnotes, indicated by numerals); summary title in the language you used to write the manuscript, followed by a list with the authors' names, respective emails and ORCID number. Cite the affiliation of each author correctly; in the case of authors from the same institution, simply cite the same number for each one. The full address includes: street, number, neighborhood, zip code, city, state, country. Postgraduate Program is not considered institutional affiliation, but rather the institution to which it belongs. If the article comes from a Completion Work, a Master's Dissertation or a Doctoral Thesis, place the number 1 superscript at the end of the title and inform in the footnote “Part of the Conclusion Work of the first Author...or another Author”. “Part of the Master’s Dissertation of the first Author…or another Author”. “Part of the Doctoral Thesis of the first Author...or another Author”. The Corresponding Author will be the Responsible Author and will receive the last number in the Footnote, as in the example: 1. Part of the Course Completion Work of the first Author; 2. University..., Street, number, neighborhood, CEP number, city, Federation Unit, Brazil. Research funding, grants and case numbers from funding agencies, when applicable, must be included in the Acknowledgments item. Once the submitted manuscript has gone through the scientific publishing process, it will not be possible to change the list of authors. Hoehnea Editorial Board contacts only the author for correspondence.

Second page - must contain ABSTRACT and RESUMO (or RESUMEN), (in capital letters and without bold), preceded by the title of the manuscript in the corresponding language between parentheses, in a single paragraph and without tabs, with up to 150 words.

Chapter titles must be written in bold, with uppercase and lowercase letters, centered, with the following topics, when applicable: Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments and Literature cited. All other paragraphs must be justified. The sub-items of these large items should be presented, for example... Study area - ... and so on. Identification keys should preferably be indented. Results and Discussion can be combined. Subtitles of these topics must be written in Regular font with uppercase and lowercase letters and separated from the corresponding text with a hyphen. Scientific names (categories below family) must be written in italics. After the Acknowledgments item, include two items: Conflict of interests and Author contributions – detail the contribution of each author in preparing the manuscript. Species names must be accompanied by the names of their respective authors; the location of the study must be informed: municipality, state and country; Throughout the text, the words Estado or State must begin with capital letters.

Literature cited - type the authors in bold, with capital letters and other lowercase letters; follow alphabetical order of authors; for the same author or same combination of authors, follow chronological order; for a set of references with the same first author, initially cite the works of the author alone, then those of the author with just one co-author and, finally, the author with 2 or more co-authors; cite journal titles in full; avoid citing dissertations and theses; Do not cite conference abstracts and course monographs. Do not provide DOI of articles. Indicate the access date on the links visited.

 

Recommendations for registering Authors on ScholarOne:

  • All authors must be registered with ORCID and provide the access link to their profiles.
  • The Author responsible for submission must register in advance on the ScholarOne Platform to have access to submitting the manuscript through the electronic system.
  • Authors who are already registered in the ScholarOne System must be careful to keep their personal data updated, as all e-mail messages will be sent to the addresses provided by the corresponding author.
  • Each author must have only one record with personal data in the ScholarOne System, to avoid errors in addressing messages; If the existence of more than one registration field is found, the author must contact the email hoehnea.ipa@sp.gov.br, so that the data can be unified before submitting the manuscript.
  • Due to possible filters and firewalls, it is recommended that authors periodically check whether messages from the ScholarOne System are inadvertently found in the “spam” or junk folders of their emails.
  • The author automatically receives a manuscript submission receipt from the electronic system, which must not be responded to. Eventual doubts and questions should be sent to the email: hoehnea.ipa@sp.gov.br
  • The Author’s personal data are protected by the ScholarOne system in accordance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

 

Recommendations for submitting your manuscript to ScholarOne:

  • The manuscript to be submitted in the ScholarOne System must contain the identification of the authors, title of the work, institutional affiliation and full address of all authors.
  • The Corresponding Author must, justifiably, suggest possible reviewers (with their respective contacts), as well as possibly request that the manuscript is not going to be sent to others.
  • The Author must declare that the manuscript has not been published, neither entirely or partially, and has not been submitted to another journal.
  • In the first submission, made through the ScholarOne Electronic Submission System, the manuscript must consist of a single document in Word (.doc, docx or .rtf), containing the text of the manuscript, together with the tables and figures in low resolution (300 dpi) added at the end of it.
  • If the manuscript is accepted for publication, authors will be asked to send tables, graphs and illustrations in files separate from the text, as high-resolution images (600 dpi).

 

Digital Assets

General: Tables, figures (photo, drawing, graph, map or diagram) must be inserted in the text. Digitized images must be presented with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi (not interpolated).

Numbering: All plates must be numbered on the right (top) side and accompanied by captions, both in Times New Roman font, 12 pts. 

Figures - versions of the manuscript inserted into the Electronic Submission System – ScholarOne must initially present low-resolution figures (150 to 300 dpi), inserted at the end of the text file, each on a page and with their respective captions in Portuguese and English (manuscript written in Portuguese), Spanish and English (manuscript written in Spanish) or just English, if the manuscript is written in that language. After the manuscript is accepted for publication, the Technical Editor will request the sending of the figures or all of them, in separate files, in high resolution around 600 dpi in TIF. Each figure (photo, drawing, graph, map or diagram) must be numbered in Arabic, in the order in which it appears in the text; lowercase letters can be used to subdivide figures (note the color of the figure - for a dark background use white letters; for a light background use black letters). For graphs, do not place grid lines and only place the necessary axes; do not use three-dimensional presentation if not necessary; The placement of the number or letter in the figure should be, whenever possible, in the lower right corner (use Time New Roman font). In bar graphs, indicate bar conventions in the figure legend. The maximum height for a figure or group of figures is 230 mm, including the caption, which can be adjusted to the width of one or two columns (81 mm or 172 mm) and be proportional (up to twice) to the final area of the figure. The usable area of the periodical is 230 mm high and 172 mm wide. Original botanical illustrations, made with black Naquin ink, watercolor or other painting on good quality white or tracing paper, color or black and white photographs developed on paper, follow the same scheme as the native-digital figures, and must be scanned at resolution maximum 600 dpi to be inserted as images within the file along with the text of the manuscript, when submitting it to ScholarOne. When the manuscript is accepted for publication, the Technical Editor will request the individual files of each figure in TIF, at 600 dpi resolution. Lines and letters must be sharp enough to allow for reduction. The scale adopted is metric and must be graphically represented on the left side of the figure. Use Times New Roman font for figure and graph captions. 

Tables – preferably use the table creation features of Word for Windows or, in the case of using other programs, provide for the conversion of the generated file to Word. When submitting the manuscript through the ScholarOne System, the complete tables (body of the table, together with the headers) must be inserted at the end of the text, each one on a separate page, but in a single word file. When constructing the table, do not insert vertical lines; use horizontal lines only to highlight the header and to close the table. Start with "Table" and Arabic numerals (1. 2,...), in the order in which it appears in the text, followed by a brief and objective caption. Avoid abbreviations (except for units) but, if necessary, add their meaning in the legend. In tables that occupy more than one page, add "to be continued" at the end of the table and on subsequent pages, in the upper left corner "Table 1 (continued)", repeating the header, but not the caption. Headings must be in two languages, the original text and English (Portuguese and English - Table 1. and Table 1., Spanish and English - Tabla 1. and Table 1.), except when the original text of the manuscript is entirely in English (Table 1.). Furthermore, the names of the species mentioned in them must be followed by the names of their authors (Example: Passiflora incarnata Ker Gawl.). Use asterisks (*) to highlight, avoiding bold or grid lines. After acceptance of the manuscript for publication in Hoehnea, the Technical Editor will request the sending of the word table files, separate from the text file.

Tables and illustrations from other publications must be duly referenced, giving credit to the authors and citing the copying license obtained by the institution, company or publishing house that holds the copyright of the data.

References in the text - should be cited using the author-date System, with initials in capital letters; when in the same set of citations, use chronological order; for two authors, link names with &; for more than two, mention the first, followed by et al.; for papers published in the same year by the same author or the same combination of authors, use letters following the publication year (e.g.: 1994a, b); do not use comma to separate author and publication year, rather, use it to separate multiple citations (ex.: Dyer & Lindsay 1996, Hamilton 1988); references to unpublished results should be as follows: (Capelari, unpublished data).

Citation of Herbarium materia - herbarium material must be cited according to the following model: BRASIL. São Paulo (written with verselet effect small caps): São Paulo, São Paulo, Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga, collection date (e.g.: 10-IX-1900), collector name plus collection number (herbarium acronym). When there is a collector number, just cite the herbarium acronym; when there is none, cite the herbarium acronym followed by the herbarium registration number of the exsiccate or sample in parentheses, without spaces [(e.g.: (SP250874)]. Use the abbreviation s.d. when the date is not provided.

Numbers and units - use abbreviations of measurements units whenever possible; for composed units use exponentials instead of bars (ex.: mg day-1 instead of mg/day, µg/L-1 instead of µg/L), leaving a space between number and unit (ex. 200 g; 50 m); do not insert spaces in coordinates (ex.: 23o46'S and 46o18'W).

For approximate measure use circa (ca. 5 cm); for a range of measures do not use circa (2-5 cm); for approximate form use ca. (ca. 3 × 5 cm); for temperature (20 oC); for a percentage value only (60%); variation range to percentages (30 - 50%).
