Código de ética y buenas prácticas
ABOUT THE EDITOR AND THE EDITORIAL COMMITTEE
The editor is responsible for the decision process on which received articles will be published. For this purpose, it will be guided by the publication rules of the journal, being subject to the legal requirements regarding defamations, copyrights and plagiarism. The editor can also consult the members of the editorial committee when making this decision.
The articles will be evaluated solely for their intellectual merit and originality regardless of the race, sex, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic group, citizenship, institutional affiliation or political philosophy of the author.
Neither the editor nor any other member of the editorial body should provide information about the articles received to other individuals or institutions that are not the corresponding author or authors, arbitrators, potential arbitrators, other members of the editorial body or the institution itself.
During the publication process, the information contained in the unpublished article should not be used for personal investigation by anyone who has access to the article, unless it has explicit permission from the author.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Authors who submit original research articles should present an adequate account of the work done as well as an objective discussion about its relevance. The data must be presented in a reliable manner in the article. This should contain enough details and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or consciously inconsistent assertions constitute a form of immoral behavior and are, therefore, unacceptable.
Authors can be requested in a timely manner to provide the original data of their work so they must be ready to offer public access to them. They should also be prepared to allow access to such data even after the article has been published.
Sending an article for publication assumes that it is completely original. The textual quotations of affirmations or parts of works that belong to other authors must be explicitly recognized in the text through the corresponding quotation mechanism of the bibliography. The copying of works of others that appear in the article as their own will be considered as plagiarism, which represents a serious intellectual immorality.
In general, the author should not send articles that deal essentially with the same subject and with the same approach to more than one magazine or similar publication. Sending a single article to more than one journal constitutes an immoral practice and is, therefore, unacceptable.
In all cases, the author must explicitly recognize the work of others and cite publications that by their nature have been influential in the work carried out.
Authorship is limited to those who have contributed substantially in the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the research. All who have contributed in this way should be listed as co-authors. The collaboration of other individuals who have contributed in some other way must be recognized.
One of the authors should be in charge of communicating with the magazine. This should ensure that all co-authors have been included in the article, at the same time you should make sure that no inappropriate individual appears as a co-author. You should also make sure that all co-authors have seen the article in its final version and agree to its publication.
