Plagiarism policy

RECIAL adheres to the COPE (Committee of Publication Ethics established in 1997) Guidelines on good practice for publications. For this reason, it guarantees the confidentiality of the evaluation process and adheres to the commitment not to publish any work that has a component of plagiarism, self-plagiarism or fraud.
In order to detect possible unethical actions, RECIAL makes use of the Quetext match detection system.
If any of these elements are detected in a text, it will be withdrawn from publication and the author will be sanctioned to submit articles to the journal for a period of two years. If this behaviour is recurrent in the same author, the journal will refrain from receiving papers to be evaluated belonging to the author in question.
Our best guarantee against this problem has been to maintain a committee of reviewers or referees who are specialists in the subjects we send them to evaluate. In this way, the academic solvency of the reviewers in relation to the bibliography on the subject allows them to recognise the originality or otherwise of the papers.
