Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

The Editorial Committee is committed to the principles of impersonality, transparency, and confidentiality in the evaluations, preserving the rights of the evaluators, authors, and institutions involved in the editorial process. 

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal are examined using plagiarism detection software (Authenticate). If plagiarism, self-plagiarism (text recycling), or redundant publication is identified, the editors will take action following the guidelines of the Editorial Ethics Committee - COPE and will consider the possibility of suspending the evaluation process or retracting a publication (in Errata format).

Errata and Retraction Policy

The COPE and Council of Science Editors guidelines are followed for article correction. Based on these sources, there are three methods for correcting scientific literature:

Errata: refers to amendments in parts of the article. Corrections can be made to the title of the article, authors' names, and typographical or layout errors;

Retraction: refers to partial corrections of the article due to methodological errors, incorrect data analysis, scientific misconduct, or non-reproducible research. There is also the possibility of removing the entire article from the Journal's page;

Expression of concern: refers to the publication of a warning by the Editor when there is concern about the reliability of an article. However, the information is insufficient to justify a retraction.

The editors will review all communications that point out problems in a publication, whether minor or significant. Requests for corrections should be sent to the e-mail address of the Editor responsible for the Journal. If the editors confirm the allegations, they may ask authors to correct occasional errors or mistakes, or they may consider retracting a publication based on COPE and Council of Science Editors guidelines for correcting articles.

The editors can consider retracting a publication when:

1. Authors refuse to correct errors or mistakes when asked to do so by the editors;
2. There is clear evidence that the research findings are unreliable, either as a result of a robust error, invention (e.g., of information), or falsification (e.g., image manipulation);
3. There is plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or redundant publication;
4. Research findings have been previously published elsewhere, and there is no citation, communication of the fact to editors, permission to republish, or justification;
5. Contains information or materials without permission to use;
6. Copyright has been infringed, or there is some other relevant legal issue (for example, in the use of images without permission);
7. Presents unethical research;
8. It has been published solely based on compromised or manipulated peer review;
9. The authors have not disclosed a material conflict of interest that, in the editors' view, would have unduly affected the interpretations of the manuscript or the recommendations of the editors and referees.

The editors will not consider retracting an article when:

1. There is a dispute over publication authorship but no reason to doubt the validity of the research findings;
2. The main research findings are still reliable, and any errors can be corrected;
3. The editors have inconclusive evidence to support retraction or are awaiting additional information, such as that from institutional research;
4. Authors' conflicts of interest were communicated to the Journal after publication, but from the editors' perspective, they did not influence the article's interpretations or conclusions.

The author responsible for the article must make the correction request and writing. If there is disagreement among the authors about what is being corrected, the journal editor is responsible for writing the correction. The erratum, retraction, or expression of concern will be published as soon as possible, with the article remaining on the Journal's page with the suggested correction.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

Conflict of Interest of Authors, Reviewers and Referees

Authors, proofreaders, and reviewers must immediately inform the editors if they have personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial conflicts in the manuscript evaluation. Thus, the Authors must communicate such an impediment at submission, while the referees must do so on the form. The manuscript review form has a "Conflict of Interest" option, at which point the proofreader/review may decline/refuse to participate in the review process.

 

 

Adoption of similarity software

 

Plagiarism Check and Exclusivity of Texts

The Aurora Journal of Philosophy uses the Ithenticate plagiarism identification program at the stage of assigning submissions. In addition, the Aurora Journal requires that the manuscript must not have been submitted to any other journal. Submission of work outside of such conditions automatically implies the suspension of the author from publishing in the Journal.

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

The Aurora Journal of Philosophy is a channel for diffusing philosophical knowledge and is committed to publishing works that reveal an ethical commitment to the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, as part of its editorial policies. 

That is why it follows The Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER, assuming the commitment to report sex and gender information in the study design, data analysis, results, and its interpretation process. 

In addition, it intends to continue encouraging research on themes that meet these values so that scientific publications represent an effective commitment to transform society. This can also be seen in the publication of thematic dossiers that contribute to the reflection around these themes. To this end, it also promotes such policies among the members of its board, in which country diversity, knowledge areas, gender, and race/ethnicity are maintained, among other criteria that ensure the breadth and inclusion of different views.
