CEIbero is a completely free journal and does not charge authors for submitting articles or readers for accessing the journal content.

Anti-plagiarism policy

Revista CEIbero rejects all forms of plagiarism e considers an act of plagiarism as:

• Copying, in whole or in part, the work of someone else and presenting it as one’s own;

• Copying, in whole or in part, one’s own work that has already been published elsewhere, without making reference to the original publication (self-plagiarism).
• Prior to the publication of an article, authors confirm in the contract they sign with the journal that they are definitely the owners of the rights and that they are not infringing on the rights of anyone else with regards to either the text or the graphs, illustrations and pictures.

Originality and Plagiarism:

Authors must certify that their works are entirely original, and if the authors used the work and/or words of other authors, these must have been duly cited. Any form of plagiarism constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Multiple, redundant or competing publications:

An author must not publish manuscripts that describe essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. When submitting a manuscript to a journal, a group of professionals is mobilized to evaluate that work. We consider it an unethical practice to simultaneously submit the same manuscript to another journal(s), as well as to publish the same article in different journals, both practices being unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of Sources:

It is essential to adequately acknowledge the work done by other people. Authors should always cite publications that in some way influenced the performance of the reported work. Any information or data obtained in a confidential or private manner, whether in conversation, correspondence or discussion with third parties, may not be published without explicit and signed authorization from the source. Likewise, any information in the course of confidential services may only be used with explicit permission signed by the author of the work involved in such services.

Authorship of the Article:

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the reported study. The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors actually participated in the research and writing of the text, and that the submission of the final version for publication was agreed upon by all.

Whenever there is any financial or other conflict of interest that could be considered to have influenced the analyses and/or results of the work, this must be disclosed in the manuscript. All sources of funding for the development of the research must be disclosed.
