Publication Ethics

Perspectivas Metodológicas adheres to ethical principles at every stage of the editorial process, following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and international standards of academic integrity and responsible research.

Originality and Plagiarism
All submissions must be original and unpublished. The journal uses iThenticate software to screen for potential plagiarism or self-plagiarism. In cases of misconduct, the Editorial Committee may reject the manuscript or issue editorial actions, including public retraction of the article.

Authorship and Responsibility
Authors must ensure that all listed individuals have made significant contributions to the research and writing process. Any conflicts of interest must be disclosed at the time of submission.

Informed Consent and Ethical Safeguards
Articles based on research involving individuals or communities must include documentation of informed consent and ensure anonymity and data confidentiality where applicable.

Peer Review Process
All manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review to ensure impartiality. Reviewers must declare any conflicts of interest and are expected to act with confidentiality, objectivity, and professionalism.

Retractions and Corrections
If errors or ethical concerns arise after publication, corrections, editorial notes, or retractions may be issued in accordance with COPE recommendations.

DORA Endorsement
Perspectivas Metodológicas endorses the principles of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). As an open access scientific journal, we are committed to promoting responsible research assessment practices, focusing on the intrinsic quality of research outputs rather than journal-based impact metrics. This commitment reinforces our mission to disseminate rigorous, inclusive, and critical knowledge in the field of epistemology and research methodology in the social sciences and humanities.
