3. Plagiarism Detection

After verifying the compliance of the formal requirements of the work received, the journal carries out an exhaustive control of its originality. To this end, the guidelines and principles developed by COPE are followed. The similarity check is carried out by using the online plagiarism detector PLag.es; the report elaborated by the software is personally reviewed before the detection of any indication of plagiarism or bad practice is communicated to the author. External evaluators also collaborate with the detection of these practices.

The journal seeks to discourage bad practices in scientific publication and are considered as such: plagiarism; the recycling of writings already published by the author; excessive use of self-citation; duplication, overlap, redundancy or simultaneity of submissions to different journals; the use of false data or fraud in the investigation; the use of data, results or materials that are not their authorship without the corresponding citation and authorization; the incorporation of authors who have not made a real contribution to the article.

If any minor bad practice of little extent or importance is detected, the editor contacts the corresponding author to make the pertinent modifications prior to the beginning of the external evaluation.

If the bad practice detected is of greater importance or extent, this circumstance is communicated to the authors, together with the signs of plagiarism, duplication or redundancy detected, and the impossibility of continuing with the evaluation process due to not complying with the originality requirement.

In the case that the bad practice is detected after the publication of the work, the journal will publish a correction or retraction, as appropriate, after contacting the authors. In addition, the editors of the other publications involved will be informed.

3. c) Author(s): include the surname and full name of the main and secondary author(s), affiliation/institutional affiliation, updated email, ORCID identifier and Summary CV (maximum 10 lines). Optionally, links to other academic social networks and/or personal websites such as Google Scholar or Academia, among others, may be included.

11. k) Only the annotated bibliography will be consigned; will be listed alphabetically after the notes in a separate section under the heading Bibliographic references, following the APA (American Psychological Association) standard of bibliographic references according to the following examples:

Quote less than 40 words: When the quote has less than 40 words, it is written immersed in the text and between quotation marks, without italics. Point is written after the end of the sentence that includes the quote and all the data. Example: At that moment, if something happens to one electron, it is immediately transmitted to the other because their wave functions are connected by an invisible thread. “This means that, in a sense, what happens to us instantly affects things in the far reaches of the universe, [...] In a sense there is a skein of entanglement that connects far reaches of the universe, including us.”(Kaku, 2009, p.90).

Quote of more than 40 words: Quotations that are longer than 40 words are written apart from the text, with left indent applied to the paragraph and without quotation marks. Size is preserved. At the end of the quote, a point is placed after the data. Example: At that moment, if something happens to one electron, it is immediately transmitted to the other because their wave functions are connected by an invisible thread. Kaku (2009) states: This means that, in a sense, what happens to us instantly affects things in the far reaches of the universe, since our wave functions were probably entangled at the beginning of time. In a certain sense there is a skein of intertwining that connects far reaches of the universe, including us (p.90).

Paraphrase quote: In the paraphrasing quote the ideas of an author are used, but in the writer's own words. In this citation it is necessary to include the author's last name and the year of publication. A paraphrasing quote from the example above could be: At that moment, if something happens to one electron, it is immediately transmitted to the other because their wave functions are connected by an invisible thread. Thus, things that affect us can have repercussions elsewhere in the universe because there is an entanglement that connects our wave functions at their far reaches (Kaku, 2009).
