Anti-plagiarism policy

Authors shall undertake not to plagiarize, this being defined as the appropriation of texts by others, without the prior consent of the authors and without citing the source, even if permission has been expressly granted by the latter authors. Authors must also commit themselves not to include in the submitted texts, other texts already produced by themselves, ensuring that there is no more than 20% coincidence between any previous work and the one submitted.

The editors of the journal check each article with an anti-plagiarism software (iThenticate) and, if they detect coincidences of more than 20%, they submit the work to an exhaustive evaluation, thoroughly reviewing the sources of origin of the plagiarized text. After this control process, the editors send a report to the author, in which the article is definitively rejected or, otherwise, the possibility of rewriting the article is offered, appropriately citing the plagiarized texts.

The proposed article must be original and must not be submitted simultaneously to another publication, nor have been previously published in any medium. Likewise, it is also possible to submit updated and appropriate papers from unpublished scientific congresses or only accessible in proceedings books, specifying their origin to the publishing board of our journal.
