Originality and Plagiarism
Authors commit that the work submitted to the journal is original and unpublished.
-
Original: A manuscript is original when it is the product of the author's own creation, without significant derivation from their own or others' work; it represents an idea not previously conceived.
-
[Download and sign the Letter of Originality here.](Declaración de originalidad - VeL)
-
-
Unpublished: A manuscript is unpublished when it has not been made public in any other format or medium (e.g., theses, conference papers, etc.).
Verbum et Lingua categorically rejects unacceptable conduct and poor publication practices, whether voluntary or involuntary. These include:
-
Plagiarism: The appropriation of another person's work or ideas in any form or extent, without giving due credit.
-
Self-plagiarism: The presentation of one's own previous work as novel or original products.
-
Duplicate publication: Simultaneous submission of the same work to two different journals or editorial outlets.
-
Partial publication: Fragmentation of a single research work into various publications.
-
Falsification or fabrication of data.
We use iThenticate software for plagiarism detection in received texts. We consider a text to be unpublished and acceptable when it exceeds 80% originality (i.e., the similarity is less than 20%).
All sources of information must be cited. Authors must include corresponding references when self-citing (maximum three self-citations in total by all authors) from previously published texts, provided these are pertinent to generating new contributions to the field of knowledge, and not for recycling ideas from previous published or unpublished works.
A study, whether one's own or another's, should not be repeated in whole or in part, whether with the same data, hypotheses, discussion points, and conclusions. Therefore, the recycling of previous works and submitting them as new proposals should be avoided. Authors are responsible for reporting the details of any related manuscript, published or not, even if it is in a different language.
Authors must respect intellectual property and give due credit to the work of others, indicating the source of all information originating from third parties (published or not).
Authorship
The manuscript must be written with precision and objectivity, based on the veracity of the information and data contained. All collaborators must have participated in the conception of the manuscript.
The limit is three co-authors. The number of co-authors cannot be changed once the work has been submitted to the platform.
To promote good editorial practices, two articles by the same author will not be published in the current call for papers of the journal, nor will any author be duplicated in consecutive issues of Verbum et Lingua. It will be necessary to wait a research submission period before a new publication by the same author.
Soundness and Reliability
Authors must consider the observations and requests of the reviewers for the modification of their articles. Objections to the reviewers' indications must be responded to promptly, clearly, and justifiably.
If an author detects an error in their article, they must immediately inform the journal editor for its rectification.
The work must not have been influenced by any personal, commercial, religious, political, academic, or financial interest. Authors must explicitly declare any funding received for the research article.
