Author Contributions Policy
In accordance with good editorial practices for the publication of scientific journals, an "author" of a published work is considered to be a person who has made a significant intellectual contribution to it. In this journal, authors are asked, when they have not contributed equally, to indicate the degree of contribution of each signing author in a section called "Authorship contribution" located at the end of the article, before the bibliographic references.
Only those people who have contributed intellectually to the development of the work should appear in the list of authors. Having helped in data collection or having participated in some technique are not in themselves sufficient criteria to appear as an author. The author of an article must have participated in a relevant way in its conception and development, so as to assume responsibility for the contents and, likewise, must agree with the final version of the article. In general, to appear as an author, the following requirements must be met:
- Having participated in the conception and design, or in the acquisition of the data, or in the analysis and interpretation of the data of the work that has resulted in the article in question, and
- Have participated in the writing of the text and in the possible revisions, and
- Having approved the version that will finally be published.
This journal declines any responsibility for possible conflicts arising from the authorship of the works it publishes. Follow the decision flow-chart recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in case of a request to change the authorship of a manuscript received or an article already published, (http://publicationethics.org/files/Spanish%20%281%29.pdf).
