Código de ética y buenas prácticas

Code of ethics and good practices
Our publications adhere to the rules of Scientific ethics expressed in the Editorial Management Manual of Scientific Journals of Social and Human Sciences (p. 119) of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation of the Presidency of the Nation of the Argentine Republic. In addition, CHA adhere mainly to DORA, since they allude to good practices and ethics as the set of rules that deal with human good or bad actions, in relation to respect between people and not concerning the legal order.

 

Editorial Ethics

In order to guarantee conflicts of interest in the scientific process, the Editorial Team of the IHA establishes, as an editorial decision, that the authors who apply to publish in the CHA, must have ethical and responsible conduct in order to avoid possible conflicts of interest when being evaluated in their publications. And in this way avoid duplicate articles in other electronic media or similar works (or self-plagiarism), and the author must notify the Editor Team if any of these situations has been incurred in order to decide how it will be solved. In this way, the resources published by Elsevier in its Editorial Ethics Resource Kit for Editors and the Legal Guide for Editors on Ethics Issues will be taken as a reference.

 

Fraud and other misconduct

Arbitration is not a system that allows fraud detection. Referees are reasonably prepared to detect plagiarism or forgery as they are experts in the subject area they assess.

CHAs consider undesirable behavior to:

Fraud: Deliberate deception, which may include data fabrication.

Forgery: or modification of data is considered a violation of research ethics. To falsify is to manipulate the research materials, equipment or the different processes that intervene in it, as well as the change or omission of data or results. The use of external data requires prior authorization from its author.

Piracy: when the ideas of others are illegally copied and used.

Misconduct in the investigation

Measures will be taken to identify and prevent the publication of articles in which some type of misconduct has occurred, such as plagiarism, or the manipulation of citations, among others. CHAs will not promote misconduct and no misconduct of any kind will be permitted. In such a case, the CHAs follow the COPE guidelines.

Recognition of sources

The appropriate recognition of the scientific production of other authors should always be respected. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the determination of the nature of the work presented.

Plagiarism: According to the Royal Spanish Academy Plagiarism, it is the action of copying the works of others, maliciously attributing the authorship. Therefore, it is to copy ideas, texts or data without mentioning the Author. Plagiarism implies non-originality and understands as original that scientific, artistic production that is the product of its author's creation.

Plagiarism will be considered when: there is omission of authorship (voluntary or involuntary) and it is not indicated in the text with quotation marks, that which has been taken from another text.

By paraphrase we mean, when there are few changes in a text that is not its own. Other types of plagiarism will be pointed out when in a citation the author's references have been inaccurately indicated both in the editorial references and on the pages. Also considered plagiarism is the lack of quotation marks in terms or phrases of a text that is reproduced in textual form.

We adhere to international guidelines through COPE, horizontal A4 version taking into account the Committee on Publication Ethics. Through organizations such as the Council of Science Editors from their CSE White Paper on Promoting Integrity in Scientific Journal Publications, in addition to the White Paper on Publication Ethics, and Expressions of Gratitude. Among other guidelines we consider how to Avoid plagiarism, self-plagiarism and other questionable writing practices: a guide to ethical writing in: ORI, The Office of Research Integrity - ORI - US Department of Health and Human Services - Office of Research integrity. In addition, CHAs adhere to the policies of Open Access Journals (DOAJ, https://doaj.org) whose mission is to: organize, maintain and develop a reliable source of information on academic open access journals on the web; to increase visibility, dissemination and support the academic communication system.

CHAs use computer tools provided by Google and Google Scholar.
