Policy and editorial responsibility
The Ibero-American Journal of Law, Culture and Environment has its antecedents in the publications that have been generated since 2020 as a result of the papers presented (Memory of events) in the different congresses and investigative academic activities organized by the Ibero-American Association of Law, Culture and Environment.
It is aimed primarily at professionals, teachers, researchers and students, mainly from Latin America, whether or not they are members of AIDCA, who are interested in publishing the results of their research through it.
Its policy adheres to the system of continuous publications, with numbered biannual publications. It also adheres to the Open Access initiative, in order to promote the immediate socialization of the results that are exposed as part of its content.
Responsibility of the authors
- Research principles: The authors are responsible for presenting the original research, whatever their area of knowledge, with a truthful description of the methodology and methods used, and an objective discussion of the importance of the results of the same. The written report must properly use the grammar of the language in which the manuscript is written, as well as respect the basic principles of scientific writing, without failing to include the necessary details and references so that others can repeat the research. Deliberately false or incorrect statements that threaten the integrity and ethics of the journal will not be admissible.
- Redundant, numerous or simultaneous publication: Those authors whose manuscripts are similar to other own materials that are subject to evaluation in more than one journal or primary publication, and that expose identical results to those presented to the RIAS, will be vetoed. Said behavior is not compatible with the integrity and ethics of the journal, for which the authors assume the commitment to guarantee that the submitted manuscript is an original work and that it does not infringe the rights of third parties.
- Authenticity and plagiarism: As has been reaffirmed across the board, the articles submitted to the RIAS must be completely original, which means that all works that have served as background or theoretical framework for them have been duly referenced in the text. Plagiarism will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
- The authorship of the article: The authorship belongs to the individuals who actively participated in the design, implementation, evaluation or understanding of the article; Hence, all those who contributed to its realization in one way or another must be recognized by the author as co-authors. Other people who contributed to the research may be listed as contributors. The main author is responsible for guaranteeing that all the co-authors have reviewed the final version of the document and, consequently, have given their approval for its submission to the journal. When the authorship of an article is shared, it must be formally declared that:
– All authors have contributed intellectually to its development.
– They agree with its content.
– The work has not been previously published in another journal or format.
- Acknowledgment of sources: As explained, authors must include the background information that influenced the content of their work.
