Code of Ethics
The concepts expressed by the authors are their sole responsibility and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Editorial Committee, Academic Committee, Consultants, or Reviewers of the Folia Histórica del Nordeste journal.
The Folia Histórica del Nordeste journal adheres to the code based on the international principles of transparency and good practice in academic publications of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). It is aimed at editors, reviewers, and authors involved in scientific publication.
Editors undertake to respect the following standards:
✔
Publication decision: Selection of the most scientifically qualified reviewers and specialists to provide a critical and expert assessment of the work, with as little bias as possible.
✔
Honesty: Evaluation of submitted articles based on the scientific merit of the content, in line with the journal's editorial policy.
✔
Confidentiality: Non-disclosure of information relating to articles submitted for publication to persons other than authors, reviewers, and other editors. Anonymity preserves the intellectual integrity of the entire process.
✔
Conflict of interest and disclosure: No use of content from articles submitted for publication without the author's written consent.
✔
Editorial process times: Communication regarding receipt, evaluation, decision, and acceptance, correction, or rejection of submitted works within a total period not exceeding 180 days from the moment the author is notified of receipt of the submission.
Reviewers agree to adhere to the following standards:
✔
Contribution to editorial decisions: Evaluate submitted works critically, constructively, and without bias, in order to ensure scientific and literary quality in their area of expertise.
✔
Time management: Evaluating submissions as quickly as possible in order to meet deadlines, given that Folia Histórica del Nordeste promotes the optimization of editorial management.
✔
Objectivity: Evaluating the text under a double-blind peer review system, in a complete, clear, and concise manner, in accordance with the grid provided by the journal, without making personal judgments about the author(s). The evaluations will be justified in a report that is as comprehensive as possible so that the author(s) can clearly understand the suggested modifications or corrections, or, if the work is rejected, understand the reasons for that decision. If there is any conflict of interest, the review of the work must be rejected.
✔
Confidentiality: Do not discuss the content of the work with other people without the express consent of the authors or editors.
✔
Display of text or bibliographic references: Accurately indicate the bibliographic references of fundamental works not included by the author and inform the editors of any similarities or overlaps between the manuscript and other published works.
✔
Conflict of interest and disclosure: Do not use the content of the works for personal purposes and refuse to review a manuscript if there are conflicts of interest.
Authors agree to comply with the following rules:
✔
Originality and plagiarism: Submission of an unpublished and original text, without parts from other authors or other fragments of works already published by the author(s). Confirmation of the accuracy of the data and results presented in the work, without distortion or manipulation of empirical data or sources to corroborate hypotheses or conjectures.
✔
Commitment to exclusivity: Exclusive submission of the work to the Folia Histórica del Nordeste journal; that is, the paper cannot be submitted simultaneously to another journal for selection. It cannot contain, even partially, results already published in other articles. This is a form of self-plagiarism that is unacceptable.
✔
List of sources: Correct indication of the sources and contributions mentioned in the article.
✔
Authorship: Hierarchy of authors based on their responsibility and involvement in the preparation and inclusion of all persons who have made significant scientific and intellectual contributions to the development of the research and the writing of the article.
✔
Conflict of interest and disclosure: Obligation to explicitly state that there are no conflicts of interest that may have influenced the results obtained or the interpretations proposed. Also, indicate any funding from agencies and/or projects from which the research article arises.
✔
Errors in published articles: Notify the editorial team of any errors or inaccuracies so that they can make the necessary corrections.
✔
Responsibility: Responsibility for ensuring that the content is supported by an in-depth analysis of the most current and relevant scientific literature on the subject, and its discussion. Commitment to respond to any suggestions from editors and reviewers in a timely manner.
