Ethical guideline

Conflict of Interest Guidelines

for Reviewers

Reviewers must disclose to editors any conflicts of interest that could bias their opinions of the manuscript, and should recuse themselves from reviewing specific manuscripts if the potential for bias exists. Reviewers must not use knowledge of the work they’re reviewing before its publication to further their own interests.

for Authors

When authors submit a manuscript of any type they are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships that might bias or be seen to bias their work.

for Editors

Editors who make final decisions about manuscripts should recuse themselves from editorial decisions if they have conflicts of interest or relationships that pose potential conflicts related to articles under consideration. Other editorial staff members who participate in editorial decisions must provide editors with a current description of their financial interests or other conflicts (as they might relate to editorial judgments) and recuse themselves from any decisions in which a conflict of interest exists. Editorial staff must not use information gained through working with manuscripts for private gain. Editors should publish regular disclosure statements about potential conflicts of interests related to their own commitments and those of their journal staff. Guest editors should follow these same procedures.

Complaints

In case you want to make a claim to International Journal of Agriculture and Natural Resources (formerly Ciencia e Investigación Agraria) should be contacted via email to the Editor in Chief, Francisco Fuentes (ijanr@uc.cl).

The Editor-in-Chief will make the background available to the Editorial Team of the journal to find a solution based on the steps suggested by COPE for these cases (https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts). The final decision will be notified to the authors.

Plagiarism Policy

If the journal, at some point in the editorial process, finds falsification, omission of data, duplication of articles or plagiarism, the original will be returned to the author with due notification to his or her sponsoring institution, research center or university. In the same way, the author (s) of the original article will be notified of this situation.

In case of detecting plagiarism after the publication, the magazine will be in charge of marking all the pages of the article with the word "Retracted".
