Ethical policy
Franz Tamayo Journal will ensure that both the editorial team and the reviewers, along with the authors, follow the required ethical guidelines throughout the publication process. To achieve this, the journal relies on the following international standards: the Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and the International Standards for Editors and Authors established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Author commitments
- Multiple publications: Authors must not replicate their results in multiple scientific journals or any other type of publication, regardless of whether these are academic or not. The simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple scientific journals is considered ethically inappropriate.
- Veracity and accuracy of information: Authors submitting their work to Franz Tamayo Journal guarantee the originality of their contributions and that they have not been previously published in any other source. They also certify that they have not included excerpts from other authors' works nor altered empirical data to support their hypotheses.
- Conflict of interest and disclosure: Authors must provide an explicit statement if they have no conflicts of interest that could impact the results or interpretations of their work. They must also disclose any funding received from agencies or projects that supported the research.
- Attribution, citation, and references: Authors must always ensure that they include appropriate references to the sources and contributions they mention in their article.
- Authorship participation: Authors commit to listing individuals who have made substantial scientific and intellectual contributions to the conception, planning, interpretation of results, and writing of the work. They must also determine the order of authorship based on their level of responsibility and contribution.
- Availability and preservation: If deemed appropriate by the Editorial Board, authors must provide access to the sources or data used in their research. These data should remain available for a reasonable time after publication and potentially be accessible.
- Correction of errors in published articles: If an author detects a substantial error or inaccuracy in their published article, they must immediately notify the journal's editors and provide the necessary information to correct the error through a footnote, without altering the original version of the article.
- Responsibility: Authors are the only responsible for the content of the articles published in Franz Tamayo. They are also expected to conduct a thorough review of the most recent and relevant scientific literature related to the topic addressed, considering diverse perspectives and forms of knowledge.
