Editorial de Retratação: retirada de artigo.

What happenedOn December 29, 2020, the BJIHS shared in its volume 2, edition 3, a copy adapted to Portuguese entitled “The unplanned and uneven expansion of Dentistry courses in Brazil from 1856 to 2020.“ This sharing was related to original work “Morita, MC, Uriarte Neto, M., Fontanella, VRC, & amp; Haddad, A. E. (2021). The unplanned and unequal expansion of Dentistry courses in Brazil from 1856 to 2020. Brazilian Oral Research, 35. ” In early January 2021 we received an email from the authors Maria Celeste Morita, Mario Uriarte Neto, Vania Regina Camargo Fontanella and Ana Estela Haddad, who are the authors of the original article “The unplanned and unequal expansion of Dentistry courses in Brazil from 1856 to 2020 . ”, Demanding the removal of the shared article because the authors had not given authorization for publication and that this would generate ethical questions to the group. In response to this requirement, the BJIHS through its Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Eber Coelho Paraguassu reported that the article “The unplanned and unequal expansion of Dentistry courses in Brazil from 1856 to 2020.” It was published under a CCBY license and that all the criteria required for sharing the article were met and that therefore the sharing would not be removed from the BJIHS. After a few months, the BJIHS received an email from the law firm Piccinini e Serrano, informing the newspaper that the authors had not agreed with the decision of the BJIHS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Eber Coelho Paraguassu, since according to the authors the PDF file where the copy had been shared with adaptation to Portuguese, which implied that the authors endorsed that sharing and that the authors did not want to have their names linked to any publication in the BJIHS. After meeting the Chief Editor of BJIHS, Dr. Eber Coelho Paraguassu, with the BJIHS legal sector, it was decided that the most reasonable course of action to be taken would be to accept the terms of the authors and remove the sharing, make a public retraction with the authors and expose everything that happened.   From the Editor-in-Chief and the initial negative withdrawal from the share. Dr. Eber Coelho Paraguassu informs that initially the sharing was not removed because in his opinion the text followed the entire CCBBY publication sharing protocol. The editor points out that on two occasions the publication made it explicit that that article was only a copy adapted to Portuguese and that the authors did not endorse its sharing, as can be seen in image 1. Image 1 Image referring to part of the text shared in the BJIHS. It turns out that the catalog sheet of the article, as can be seen in image 2, could imply that the authors were responsible for sending the sharing, a fact that does not correspond with the truth of the facts, since the copy with adaptation was made by Publisher Karina Figueira. Image 2 Image referring to the catalog card shared in the BJIHS. Initially, the Editor-in-Chief thought that this fact was of little relevance and that although he could imply that the authors sent the article and, therefore, endorsed its publication, this impression would be undone with what is shown in image 1. After talking to the legal sector, the Editor-in-Chief understood that the authors were correct in their claims and that the most inattentive reader might have the impression that the authors Maria Celeste Morita, Mario Uriarte Neto, Vania Regina Camargo Fontanella and Ana Estela Haddad , were also the authors of the copy with adaptation to Portuguese “The unplanned and uneven expansion of Dentistry courses in Brazil from 1856 to 2020.“ and that only the information contained in image 1 would not be enough to solve any doubt that the reader more inattentive he might have.   Withdrawal After all the above, the BJIHS comes to the public to inform that the authors Maria Celeste Morita, Mario Uriarte Neto, Vania Regina Camargo Fontanella and Ana Estela Haddad, have no relation to the sharing of the copy with adaptation to Portuguese “The unplanned expansion and unequal dentistry courses in Brazil from 1856 to 2020. “The share has already been removed from the newspaper and from the indexing bases. On behalf of the entire editorial board, the BJIHS formally apologizes to the authors for all this imbroglio involving their names and that it was never the intention of this newspaper to cause any damage or harm the image of any of the authors or anyone else. The BJIHS rejects illicit academic practices and strongly supports CCBY sharing as we understand that knowledge cannot be restricted to a vehicle, language or location. We also understand that the vast majority of scientific productions in Brazil are financed by the money of the taxpayer and, therefore, all knowledge arising from this financing belongs to everyone, with the obligation of massive sharing in the largest and most diverse number of scientific vehicles, for that knowledge is disseminated in a more democratic and easily accessible manner. It is a mistake to talk about intellectual property when the funding is from the taxpayer, however we also understand that this is only an opinion of the editorial board of this newspaper and that there is an existing law on intellectual property that must be fully respected. We also offer the authors a space so that if they want to add some information or correct something said in this retraction, they can do it through a letter in response to this editorial. The letter will be published in its entirety in the month of the month in which we receive it.
