Política de autorías
In line with best editorial practices for the publication of scientific journals, an “author” of a published work is considered to be someone who has made a significant intellectual contribution to the work. In this journal, authors are required to indicate the degree of contribution of each co-author, when contributions have not been equal, in a section titled “Authorship Contribution” located at the end of the article, before the reference list.
Only individuals who have contributed intellectually to the development of the work should be listed as authors. Assisting with data collection or participating in a technique alone are not sufficient criteria for authorship. The author of an article must have played a significant role in the conception and development of the work, be able to assume responsibility for its contents, and must agree with the final version of the article. In general, to qualify as an author, the following requirements must be met:
- Participation in the conception and design, or in the data acquisition, or in the analysis and interpretation of the data that resulted in the article in question, and
- participation in drafting the manuscript and in any revisions, and
- approval of the final version to be published.
This journal declines all responsibility for potential conflicts arising from the authorship of the works it publishes. It follows the decision tree recommended by COPE in the event of a request for a change of authorship of a submitted manuscript or a published article (http://publicationethics.org/files/Spanish%20%281%29.pdf).
