    • Academic excellence in evaluation

It also considers the fabrication and falsification of data as fraud. Practices that the journal combats in all the editorial processes of each issue through the use of tools such as anti-plagiarism software (TURNITIN) and the opinion of peer reviewers.

Conflicts of interest

  • The author declares any relationship -labor or institutional-, condition or circumstance that can be interpreted as a factor that reduces objectivity in the design, data collection or interpretation of the manuscript. These can be consultancies, scholarships, travel payments, etc.
