Antiplagiarism Policies

Submissions are sent to the electronic journal REDINE for evaluation via email to redine@ucla.edu.ve and uclaredine@gmail.com. T

The evaluation of the work is conducted in accordance with the journal's publication guidelines.

The Editorial Committee sends the work to three (3) reviewers for their review.
If any reviewer does not consider themselves competent to review the work, they will notify the Editorial Committee, which will then select a new reviewer.
If, after reviewing the work, the reviewers deem it worthy of approval, they will send a communication to the Editorial Committee, along with the form containing the items reviewed in their evaluation.
If there is a discrepancy in the reviewers' opinions, a new reviewer will be appointed to evaluate the work, and their decision will then be sent to the Editorial Committee, which will communicate its findings to the author(s).

If the reviewers find that the work has formal flaws, the Editorial Committee will be notified, indicating that certain aspects of the work must be revised. The Editorial Committee will then notify the author(s) so that they can correct the aspects suggested by the referees within a maximum of 20 business days, starting from the date the notification is sent by email to the author(s). Once corrected, the work will be submitted for a new review. If the revisions are not submitted within the established timeframe, the work will not be published.

If the reviewers determine that the work has fundamental flaws, they will send correspondence to the Editorial Committee, explaining the reasoning behind their decision, along with the evaluation form. In this case, the work cannot be published. The reviewers will then notify the Editorial Committee so that it can inform the author(s) of the decision not to publish via email. If the author(s) disagree with the decision, they may contact the Editorial Committee requesting that the work be reconsidered. The Editorial Committee will then send a detailed correspondence outlining the flaws in the evaluated work and stating that the reviewers' evaluation is final.

If it is confirmed, the Editorial Committee will notify the author(s) that the work will be withdrawn from the journal.
The reviewers have access to plagiarism detection software to check submitted work.

DESCRIPCION DEL SISTEMA DE ARBITRAJE

Se utiliza el sistema de arbitraje doble ciego, el cual asegurará la confidencialidad del proceso, al mantener en reserva la identidad de él o los autores y de los árbitros.
Los árbitros que efectúan el proceso de arbitraje pueden ser internos o externos a la institución, así como también se permite la evaluación de los trabajos por evaluadores pertenecientes a universidades nacionales y extranjeras.
El Consejo Editorial se reserva el derecho de constatar el cumplimiento de las normas antes de iniciar el proceso de arbitraje.
Cualquier árbitro seleccionado que no se sienta calificado para revisar el trabajo debe informar oportunamente que le es imposible realizar su revisión comunicándole al editor su decisión.
Se seleccionan dos o tres árbitros, quienes envían al editor los resultados de la evaluación del trabajo y sus sugerencias acerca de aprobarlo, aprobarlo con modificaciones o reprobarlo.

En caso de que alguno de los árbitros no esté de acuerdo con lo acordado por los otros dos árbitros, se procederá a enviar el trabajo a un cuarto árbitro para que indique el veredicto que le daría al trabajo. Una vez terminado este procedimiento, se le envía al editor el resultado de la evaluación.

El editor recibe los comentarios de los árbitros, si existen, y le son enviados él o los autores para que realice las modificaciones de acuerdo con las sugerencias de los árbitros.

Él o los autores están en la obligación de realizar las correcciones indicadas por el editor, en un plazo no mayor a 20 días hábiles, contados a partir de la fecha del envío de las observaciones. Si no se entrega el trabajo en la fecha indicada, se volverá a enviar a él o los autores, para que realice las modificaciones: si despues de transcurrido el tiempo establecido, no se ha consignado el trabajo, el comité evaluador le informará a él o los autores que su trabajo no será publicado en la revista por faltar a los lapsos establecidos para tal fin. Es de hacer notar que él o los autores tendrán dos oportunidades para realizar las correcciones al trabajo.
Una vez hechas las modificaciones sugeridas al trabajo, se enviarán al editor.

Una vez corregidas las modificaciones y entregadas al editor, se procede nuevamente a revisar para determinar si se aprueba, aprueba con modificaciones o se reprueba.
Luego de concluida la revisión realizada por los árbitros (evaluadores), los mismos envían los resultados de la evaluación al Comité Editorial, quien se encargará de informar al participante los resultados obtenidos luego de la evaluación. Dichos resultados pueden ser:

RESULTADOS DE LA EVALUACION:

Publicación sin modificaciones
Publicación con modificaciones de forma
Publicación con modificaciones de fondo: se sugiere no publicarlo

En caso de ser Aceptado: El Comité Editorial emitirá una constancia de aceptación del trabajo, sellada y firmada, una vez que los árbitros hayan emitido un veredicto favorable, la cual debe ser retirada personalmente por él o los autores en la Universidad o en sus defectos, canalizada vía Internet.
En caso de ser rechazado: El Comité Editorial enviará un informe detallado a él o los autores con las razones que motivan la no aceptación del trabajo. Él o los autores tendrán la oportunidad de hacer una apelación de la decisión, enviando una carta al Comité Editorial, exponiendo los argumentos para su reconsideración. Por último, el Comité Editorial, después de haber analizado los argumentos planteados por ´él o los autores, decidirá al respecto.

Los árbitros (evaluadores) disponen de una planilla en la cual se consideran los aspectos a evaluar (Planilla)
