Author commitments

  • Authors assure that the work is original, and that it does not contain plagiarism fragments or illustrations of works already published or by other authors or by the authors of the submitted manuscript.
  • Authors assume full responsibility for the veracity and traceability of the data and information, that is, that they have not been altered to bias statements or hypotheses and that readers can have access to the aforementioned information and reproduce it.
  • If editors deem it appropriate, authors should also make available the sources or data on which the research is based.
  • Authors should not publish articles in which the same results already published in a scientific journal are repeated. Likewise, the simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals is considered ethically incorrect and bad behavior.
  • The authors must always provide the correct indication of the sources and contributions mentioned in the article.
  • The authors also undertake to have reviewed the most current and relevant scientific literature on the topic presented in the manuscript.
  • Conflict of interest and disclosure: all authors are required to explicitly declare that there are no conflicts of interest that may have influenced the results obtained or the proposed interpretations. Authors must also indicate any funding from agencies and/or projects from which the research article arises.
  • Errors in published articles: when an author identifies an important error or inaccuracy in his article, he must immediately inform the editors of the journal and provide them with all the information necessary to list the pertinent corrections at the bottom of the same article.
