Bibliographic citations must be made in accordance with APA standards, for more information, see: www.apastyle.org. The citations can be made verbatim or paraphrased.
Paraphrased quotes are those that are expressed through a set of expressions that give meaning to what the author of the quoted text said in his work. These in turn can be direct or indirect, that is, they directly state that a certain author mentioned the citation, or it is indirect when the citation is mentioned and the author is cited from there. Example:
Direct: The Constitutional Court (1992) recognizes that in the Colombian legal system there are principles, values ​​and rules.
Indirect: There are principles, values ​​and rules in the Colombian legal system (Constitutional Court, 1992).
On the other hand, you can also make use of textual citations which correspond to extracts from other works that are taken for the creation of the article and that must be recognized according to the source used.

Quotes with less than 40 words must be enclosed in quotation marks, without italics or bold, within the same paragraph in which it refers, include the author, year and pagination where the sentence was extracted. Example:
In the jurisprudential development it has been said that "The judge, in the social rule of law, is also a bearer of the institutional vision of the general interest" (Constitutional Court, 1992, p. Xx)
Quotations with 40 words or more, must be exposed without quotation marks, without italics or bold, in a separate paragraph with an indentation of 1.25 cm. It must include the author, year and pagination where the sentence was extracted. Example:

The bill of rights, nationality, citizen participation, the structure of the State, the functions of powers, control mechanisms, elections, territorial organization and reform mechanisms, are understood and justified as an instrumental transmission of the principles. and constitutional values. It is not possible, then, to interpret an institution or a procedure provided by the Constitution outside of the material content embodied in the fundamental principles and rights (Constitutional Court, 1992, p. Xx).

ETHICAL PUBLICATION RULES

1. Declaration and submission
Articles submitted for publication must be original texts. Along with the issuance of the article by the author and through the OJS platform, a letter of submission and assignment of rights must be attached stating the originality and authorship of the text, which indicates that the article has not been previously published and that nor has it been sent simultaneously to another magazine or broadcast medium. The authors with this letter are granting the journal Nuevo Derecho the right for their article and materials to be reproduced, published, edited, communicated and publicly transmitted in any form or medium, as well as their distribution in the number of copies required and its public communication, including its making available to the national and international public through electronic means, for exclusively scientific, cultural and dissemination purposes and not for profit.
It is necessary to bear in mind that the study from which the manuscript is derived must have the informed consents for all participants and the support of the institutional ethics committee. The foregoing must be specified in the methodology section, as well as the respective references in case of having data or tests provided or designed by other authors.
The letter of submission and assignment of rights where the letter stating the originality and authorship of the text is declared must be sent in accordance with the format established by the magazine. All authors must have read and agree with the content of this document, as well as the letter must contain the signature of all the authors.
The respective authors of the article are responsible for the content of the text and their effective participation as authors of the presented text.

2. Authorship
The Nuevo Derecho journal, based on the four criteria assumed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), assumes the following definition of the author of a scientific article:
1. Make substantial contributions to the conception or design of the article or the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of data for the work.
2. The writing of the article or the critical revision of its content.
3. Final approval of the version to publish.
4. 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. The foregoing implies that all co-authors have a shared responsibility for the entire work as a whole, relying on confidence in the integrity of the contributions of their collaborators. Contributors to the article who do not meet these 4 criteria cannot appear as authors, but must be recognized, indicating their names and the respective contribution made for the purposes of the research or completion of the article at the bottom of the page.
It is the collective responsibility of the authors, and not the journal, to determine that all persons named as authors meet the four criteria. The same authors of the article in mutual responsibility decide the order of their appearance in the article according to the importance of their respective contributions. Along with the article to the journal, an article submission form is sent, where the authors (if there are more than one), present their data in the established order, for which they are responsible.
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 the authors mentioned and the author must be removed or added.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. Conflict of interest
The authors must avoid any action corresponding to a conflict of interest in the publication and in the information provided.
