Diagnóstico da correspondência entre as classes de solos no Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos com os sistemas internacionais utilizados pelas revistas brasileiras

Abstract

It is essential to publish an article that is written correctly, since it will be read by many people from both your country and foreign countries. The correct way to write soil classifications in English is poorly understood and becomes a common mistake found in journals and digital platforms, which cannot be translated but matched in the nomenclature of the chosen classification in WRB-FAO (World Reference Base) or Soil Taxonomy. This study aimed to consult on digital platforms, articles published in journals in the field of agrarian sciences and to verify how the corresponding classification of the soil classes of the Brazilian Soil Classification System in foreign languages with errors in the nomenclature is being made, diagnosing where are located and what is the percentage of acceptance in the different journals observed. The most used system was the American System of Soil Taxonomy, where the Scientia Agrícola journal on average had the lowest percentage of errors in the classification system nomenclature correspondence, whereas the Agricultural Engineering journal obtained the highest percentage of errors in the corresponding nomenclature, having errors mainly located in the Abstract section. It can be concluded that most journals have corresponding nomenclature errors, which compromises, besides the interpretation of the results, regarding the soil type, by a foreign researcher the quality of the thesis or published article.
