Plagiarism policy

The Editorial Board is very strict about plagiarism. The magazine believes that the adoption of ideas and the work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest. Copying a sentence from someone else's manuscript, or even your own that has been previously published, without proper citation is considered plagiarism for using your own words instead. The Editorial Board reserves the absolute authority to reject the process of reviewing a submitted manuscript if it is subject to minor or major plagiarism and may even cancel the publication following the complaint of the victim (s) of plagiarism. The journal provides its reviewers with iThenticate's Turnitin tool, developed to detect this malpractice.

Handwriting detection with Artificial Intelligence

Just before final publication, the journal will use the Turnitin anti-plagiarism programme, implemented with a module for detecting writing using artificial intelligence. Authors who have used artificial intelligence must indicate which applications and in which processes and sections they have been used. If the percentage is high, the article may be withdrawn and the editor will decide, after analysing the article as a whole, whether to publish it. In this case, the authors may request that it be accepted with that higher percentage if they can justify it.
