Final approval of the version to publish.
Be responsible for all aspects of the work, ensuring that all questions regarding the accuracy or completeness of the text are investigated and confirmed.

Only those who meet these 4 criteria can appear as authors of a scientific article.

If the authors request the removal or addition of an author after submission or publication of the manuscript, the journal will request a signed statement of agreement for the requested change from all authors mentioned and the author must be removed or added.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a fairly broad phenomenon and can range from the absence of bibliographic references, to the use of other people's ideas, both published and unpublished, without their consent, to the presentation of a complete document with a different authorship in another idiom. To avoid plagiarism, all sources must be appropriately cited according to APA standards, and when the use of a large amount of someone else's written material or illustrations is required, permission should be sought. Procedures and tests used in the investigation, which are created by other people, must be explicitly cited in the article. If plagiarism is detected in an article, it is immediately withdrawn from its evaluation, editing or publication process and a letter is sent to the authors with presentation of evidence.

Retraction

The retractions are made due to voluntary or involuntary errors of the authors; however, whatever the cause, the corrective actions are the same for both. Authors have the right to manifest and spontaneous retraction of the partial or total content of their manuscripts at any time. The communication in which you withdraw must be sufficiently explicit. It does not exclude the authors of disciplinary or legal actions derived from errors in the articles
