Editorial best practices

Ethics in publications

Throughout the editorial process, the Revista de Sociología is guided by the Research Ethics Code of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, and at all times, during the process of editing and reviewing the manuscripts, the editor will be guided by the guidelines Suggested by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

• Bad behavior in the authorship will be reason to stop the editing process.
• The Revista de Sociología will not accept articles that have been simultaneously submitted to other journals or are in editorial processes in another journal or publishing house.
• The journal requires the authors, reviewers and Editorial Committee integrity, professionalism and responsibility in the editorial process, to contribute to the progress of the social sciences. In this sense, our code of ethics is governed by the following principles:
  • Scientific and methodological rigor
  • Honesty
  • Original and unpublished contribution to the social sciences
  • Academic excellence in assessment
• Plagiarism and fraud. The Revista de Sociología defines plagiarism as the appropriation of ideas, processes, results or fragments of an author's texts without the respective citation, also being a dishonest behavior that cannot be tolerated. It also considers the fabrication and falsification of data as fraud. Practices that the journal combats in all the editing processes of each issue through the use of tools such as anti-plagiarism software and the opinion of peer reviewers.
