Publication Ethics
The journal follows the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and adopts a strict policy of scientific integrity.
- Authors: must guarantee originality, cite all sources properly, avoid simultaneous submission to multiple journals, and declare any conflicts of interest.
- Reviewers: must provide objective, constructive, and confidential evaluations and report any ethical irregularities.
- Editors: must ensure transparency and impartiality in the process and publish corrections or retractions in cases of fraud or identified errors.
Prohibited practices such as plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data manipulation, and duplicate publications result in sanctions ranging from immediate rejection to a ban on future submissions.
