Duplicate publication
Material submitted to the Revista de Ciencias must be original and not published or concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere.
Authors submitting a contribution to our journal with related material under consideration or in press elsewhere should upload a clearly marked copy at the time of submission and draw the editor's attention to it in their submission letter. Authors must disclose any such information while their contributions are under consideration by our journal- for example, if they submit a related manuscript elsewhere that was not written at the time of the original submission.
If part of a contribution that an author wishes to submit to our journal has appeared or will appear elsewhere, the author must specify the details at the time of the submission. Consideration by our journal is possible if the main result, conclusion, or implications are not apparent from the other work, or if there are other factors.
The Revista de Ciencias will consider submissions containing material that has previously formed part of a PhD or other academic thesis that has been published according to the requirements of the institution awarding the qualification. The Revista de Ciencias endorses the policies of the ICMJE in relation to overlapping publications.
If an author of a submission is re-using a figure or figures published elsewhere, or that is copyrighted, the author must provide documentation that the previous publisher or copyright holder has given permission for the figure to be re-published. The journal editor considers all material in good faith that their journals have full permission to publish every part of the submitted material, including illustrations.
