It is understood that there is a conflict of interest when there is a divergence between the individual’s personal interests and his/her responsibilities regarding the scientific activities that he/she carries out –either as author, reviewer or editorial committee member– in such a way that can influence his/her critical judgment and the integrity of his/her actions. Authors should mention, when submitting their manuscript, if there are certain evaluators who should not intervene in the revision process. Although the manuscripts are sent to the reviewer without authorship data, if the evaluators detect the possible identity of the authors, they must excuse themselves from intervening.On the other hand, conflicts of interest due to personal or work relationships imply that the participants in the editorial process have some kind of friendship, enmity or labor relationship. Regarding this point, the authors should indicate the funding source of their research, while the editorial officers will take special care to select reviewers who do not belong to the same institution or research team as authors. Moreover, editors will not be involved in the process of reviewing and editing manuscripts whose authors work in the same center, are family members, or have had personal differences. In these cases, its management will be delegated to another editor.
Fraud
Scientific fraud is considered to be biased manipulation, misleading information, selective communication, invention, falsification and concealment or misrepresentation of data. If a practice of this type is detected, the manuscript will be immediately withdrawn from the editorial process and the journal reserves the right to notify the authorities of the institution in which the author works. On the other hand, upon suspicion of some type of fraud, the evaluator will communicate it confidentially to the editors.Policy on plagiarism
The articles submitted to the journal will be reviewed by plagiarism detection software. If plagiarism exists, the author will be informed of the evidence and a deposition will be requested. If the answer is not satisfactory, the manuscript will be rejected and Anuario IEHS will not receive more articles from the author. In turn, if applicable, the media in which the original plagiarized article was published will be informed.
The published abstracts of communications, papers or conferences presented at scientific meetings are not considered redundant publications, but the authors must state this circumstance in a footnote at the beginning of the article, or in the acknowledgments, if any.
The situation in which the previous work is the basis for a new contribution is not considered self-plagiarism and key parts must be repeated to explain and defend the new arguments.
