Similarity policies

Similarity policies

To guarantee originality, every manuscript is subject to a similarity review in the Ithenticate® (Similarity Check) software, the percentage of similarity allowed corresponds to 40%. If this percentage is exceeded, the article will be returned to the main author with the report published by the scanner.

During the editorial process, the manuscript will undergo a minimum of three similarity checks: in the initial review, after peer review, and in the final version prior to style correction.

Important: Those works that are the product of thesis of any degree, must clearly indicate it in the manuscript, and the editorial committee will assess each case individually to determine acceptance and/or final rejection for publication.
