Code of Ethics

This code is based on the International Principles of Transparency and Good Practices in Academic Publications of the Committee on Publication Ethics COPE -Committee on Publication Ethics: http://publicationethics.org/-. It is aimed at editors, reviewers and authors involved in the scientific publication.

The editors undertake to respect the following rules:

– Publication decision: Selection of the most scientifically qualified reviewers and specialists to issue a critical and expert appreciation of the work, with the least possible bias.

– Honesty: Evaluation of the articles submitted on the basis of the scientific merit of the contents, in line with the editorial policy of the journal

– Confidentiality: Non-disclosure of information related to articles submitted for publication to persons other than authors, reviewers and other editors. Anonymity preserves the intellectual integrity of the entire process.

– Conflict of interest and disclosure: No use of the contents of the articles sent for publication without the written consent of the author.

– Times of the editorial process: Communication in time of reception, evaluation, decision and estimate, correction or rejection of the works received in a time that does not exceed 180 days overall, counted from the moment the author is notified upon receipt of the shipment.

Reviewers agree to the following standards:

- Contribution to the editorial decision: Evaluation of the works received in a critical, constructive and unbiased manner, in order to guarantee the scientific and literary quality in their area of knowledge.

– Time management: Evaluation of the works in the shortest possible time to respect the delivery deadlines, since the Boletín de Literatura Comparada promotes the optimization of editorial management.

– Objectivity: Evaluation of the text under the double-blind peer system, in a complete, clear and concise manner according to the grid provided by the Boletín de Literatura Comparada, without mediating personal judgments about the author(s). The evaluations will be justified in a report that is as exhaustive as possible so that it allows the author(s) to clearly understand the suggested modifications or corrections, or, in the event that the work is rejected, to understand the reasons for said decision. Likewise, in the event of any conflict of interest, the review of the work must be rejected.

– Confidentiality: Do not discuss the content of the works with other people without the express consent of the authors or the editors.

– Display of text or bibliographic references: Precise indication of the bibliographic references of fundamental works not included by the author and inform the editors of any similarities or overlaps of the manuscript with other published works.

– Conflict of interest and disclosure: Do not use the content of the works for personal purposes and refuse to review a manuscript if there are conflicts of interest.

The authors undertake to respect the following rules:

– Originality and plagiarism: Submission of an unpublished and original publication text, without parts of another author(s) or other fragments of works already published by the author(s). Confirmation of the veracity of the data and the results presented in the work, without distortion or manipulation of the empirical data or the sources to corroborate the hypotheses or conjectures.

– Commitment to exclusivity: exclusive submission of the work to the American and Argentine History Magazine; that is, the paper cannot be simultaneously submitted to another journal for selection. Likewise, it cannot contain, even partially, results already published in other articles. This is a form of inadmissible self-plagiarism.

– List of sources: Correct indication of the sources and contributions mentioned in the article.

– Authorship: Hierarchy of the authors according to the responsibility and involvement in its preparation and inclusion of all the people who have made significant contributions of a scientific and intellectual nature in the development of the research and in the writing of the article.

– Conflict of interest and disclosure: Obligation to explicitly declare that there are no conflicts of interest that may have influenced the results obtained or the proposed interpretations. Also, indicate any funding from agencies and/or projects from which the research article arises.

– Errors in published articles: Communication to the editorial team of any relevant error or inaccuracy so that it can make the necessary corrections

– Responsibility: Responsibility for what is written is supported by an in-depth analysis of the most current and relevant scientific literature on the subject, and its discussion. Commitment to respond to any suggestions from editors and evaluators in a timely manner.
