Policy regarding plagiarism. Principle of ethics in the publication process

When authors send their works they must be original, they must not have been previously published in other publications. The  editors  receive the applications and subject them to anti-plagiarism analysis in order to corroborate that it is an original work and can be evaluated. During the evaluation process, reviewers are asked   to detect possible plagiarism based on their expertise. If plagiarism or self-plagiarism is detected, the editorial committee will follow the steps proposed by COPE. What to do if you suspect that a publication is redundant or duplicate

Therefore, Intersections in Communication adheres to international standards and practices regarding the ethical aspects that must be followed in the process of publishing original articles. In this sense, it adheres to what the Committee on Publications Ethics COPE suggests (https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines-new/principles-transparency-and-best-practice-scholarly-publishing ) .

Responsibility of the Authors

The signing authors will be responsible for the content of their articles, the accuracy of the information and bibliographic citations.

By sending the work to Intersecciones en Comunicación the authors will agree not to publish it in other journals. Articles previously presented at Congresses, publications or dissertations will not be admitted. The submission of manuscripts will imply the granting of copyright and editorial rights to the Journal. Authors who use unpublished material from other professionals must send written permission to the Committee. All services linked to the publication (copying, retyping, preparation of abstracts, translations, preparation of illustrations, etc.) will be the exclusive responsibility of the authors. Once the editing test has been carried out, the accepted contributions will be sent to the authors to examine typographical errors. Rewriting of the text will not be allowed in this instance. Authors will be asked to accept the principle of authorizing style corrections that will facilitate the reading of the works without modifying their contents.

The authors have permission to make their work visible and share online (for example: In institutional repositories, website, social networks, online profiles of the researcher, etc.) after having been published in Intersecciones en Comunicación.

About the use of AI

According to COPE's recommendation, those authors who use AI tools in the writing of the manuscript, the production of images or graphic elements of the document, or in the collection and analysis of data, should indicate in the Materials and methods (or similar section) how the AI tool was used and which was used. It is recalled that authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, including those parts produced by an AI tool, and are therefore responsible for any violation of publication ethics.
