Originality and Plagiarism

Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality and accuracy of submitted manuscripts. Plagiarism, including the unauthorized use of content from third parties, will be treated as a serious ethical violation. The journal rejects simultaneous submissions to other journals and multiple or redundant publication.

All submissions will be reviewed through the Ithenticate similarity detector in order to avoid academic plagiarism. The text must obtain a percentage not greater than 15 % of similarities to continue with the editorial process. The result of this review will be confidential and only the person responsible for the submission will be informed in case of suspicion of plagiarism.

This measure of review of similarities, in order to avoid plagiarism, is based on the principles of ethical editorial practices.
