Code of Ethics

They are considered bad scientific practices:

Lack of ethics in the publication process.

- Fictitious authorship: appearing as authors or co-authors of research that has not been carried out.

- Duplicate publication: publishing all or part of an already published article.

- Fragmented publication: splitting a paper to publish as independent articles.

- Inflated publication: adding data to a previously published paper for publication as a new article.

- Self-plagiarism: repeating the same content previously written by the author with the intention of publishing as a new article.

Scientific fraud:

- Invention: elaboration of all or part of the data.

- Falsification and manipulation of data: falsifying data or methods to fulfill the hypothesis.

- Plagiarism: taking ideas or phrases without citing the original source.

-Incorrection of bibliographic citations: omitting relevant citations. Including citations not consulted. Excessive self-citation.

- Publication bias: forcing data to obtain positive results and high statistical significance.

- Publicity: premature (unverified) results.

Manuscripts that incur in these practices will not be evaluated. The editor will write to the author, explaining that the article is rejected, the journal's position in these cases and the expected behavior in the future. He/she will also inform the reviewer.

If it is detected that sentences of lesser length have been copied and there are no indications that the data of others have been offered as or.
