Código de Ética y Buenas Prácticas

Code of Ethics and Basic Guidelines

The journal adheres to international ethical standards, including the Code of Conduct and Best Practices Guidelines of the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

Ethical Practices
The journal encourages the reporting of misconduct before, during, and after publication. The editor will handle allegations impartially, ensuring anonymity and, if necessary, appointing an independent committee. Decisions will be based on thorough investigations and, in severe cases, may result in permanent bans or article retractions.

Authorship and Conflicts of Interest
The contribution of each author must be detailed at the time of submission, and any changes require justification. All conflicts of interest must be disclosed promptly.

Intellectual Property and Open Access
Authors retain copyright under a Creative Commons license and may share their work, acknowledging its initial publication in the journal. The journal supports the BOAI open access policy.

Peer Review
The journal adopts a double-blind peer review model, ensuring impartiality in the editorial process. In this system, both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to prevent bias and ensure an objective evaluation based solely on the quality and academic rigor of the manuscript. Specific details about this process, including evaluation criteria, timelines, and reviewer responsibilities, are available in the "About the Journal" section.

In case of conflicts of interest, disputes, or disagreements during the review process, the editor will open a case file to analyze the situation. This process will involve gathering statements from all parties and, if necessary, consulting external experts or an independent ethics committee to resolve the matter fairly and transparently.
