REMCB adheres to the Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding authors' rights and contributions.

Copyright for publications appearing in REMCB belongs exclusively to their authors. Copyright on collaborative works (co-authorships) belongs jointly to the co-authors.

REMCB requests an authorization for publication from the authors so that the journal may, once approved, publish the article in electronic format.

Once the article is published, the authors may distribute the file via any other medium (including the Internet, social media, blogs, among others), provided it is for non-profit purposes.

 

Authors’ Commitments

 

• Originality and plagiarism: Authors of manuscripts submitted to the journal* ensure that the work is original, and that it does not contain parts from other authors or fragments of works already published by the authors themselves. Furthermore, they confirm the veracity of the data; that is, that empirical data has not been altered to verify hypotheses.

• Multiple and/or repetitive publications: The author must not publish articles repeating the same results in more than one scientific journal. Simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple scientific journals is considered ethically incorrect and reprehensible.

• List of sources: The author must always provide the correct indication of the sources and contributions mentioned in the article.

• Authorship: Regarding manuscript authorship, authors guarantee the inclusion of those individuals who have made a significant scientific and intellectual contribution to the conceptualization and planning of the work, as well as the interpretation of results and the drafting thereof. At the same time, authors have been ranked according to their level of responsibility and involvement.

• Access and retention: If the editors deem it appropriate, authors must also make available the sources or data upon which the research is based, which may be preserved for a reasonable period after publication and possibly made accessible.

• Conflict of interest and disclosure: All authors are obliged to declare explicitly 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 a significant error or inaccuracy in their article, they must immediately inform the journal editors and provide all necessary information to list the pertinent corrections at the bottom of the article itself.

• Responsibility: All authors accept responsibility for what has been written. Authors also commit to having carried out a review of the most current and relevant scientific literature on the analyzed topic, considering the different currents of knowledge in a pluralistic manner.
