Publication Ethics

The journal follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and adopts a strict policy of scientific integrity.

  • Authors: must submit original work, correctly cite all sources, avoid multiple submissions, and declare any conflicts of interest.
  • Reviewers: must provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations, flag ethical concerns, and respect confidentiality.
  • Editors: guarantee impartiality, transparency of the process, and proceed with retractions or corrections in cases of error or identified fraud.

Misconduct such as plagiarism, self-plagiarism, falsification or manipulation of data, or redundant publication is sanctioned by immediate rejection, future submission bans, or retraction of published articles.
