The National Council for Scientific and Technological Development has established a new Policy on Integrity in Scientific Activity, with guidelines that reinforce ethics, transparency, and responsibility at all stages of research, in addition to setting rules of conduct for researchers, reviewers, and institutions linked to scientific funding.
The initiative also provides guidance on the responsible use of artificial intelligence, the prevention of conflicts of interest, and the application of sanctions in cases of misconduct, strengthening the credibility of scientific production in the country — an advancement aligned with the principles upheld by the Brazilian Society of Soil Science, which promotes integrity and quality in science.
