General guidelines for authors

The Autonomous Latin American University attending the needs of the development of the dissemination of the Research, through the publication of its scientific journals, books, patents or others. It considers necessary the construction of a code of ethics and good practices in the publication, addressed to editors, co-publishers, editorial assistants, editorial committee, scientific committee, authors, peer reviewers, and publishers. The ethical guidelines subscribe to the standards used by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

For the above, these practices will be broken down as follows:

  1. Editor
  2. Members of the editorial body
  3. Authorship
  4. Disambiguation of authors
  5. Institutional affiliation
  6. Publication ethics
  7. Conflicts of interest
  8. Glossary

The Autonomous Latin American University taking into account that it is convinced of the existence of thought, legal, philosophical, scientific, political, economic and cultural in Latin America, with authors of Arnaud, André-Jean, Enrique Dussel, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Alcira Argumedo, Gaudencio Frigotto, Emir Sader, Humberto Maturana, Estela Beatriz Quintar, Joan-Carles Mèlich, Julia Kristeva, Paul Freire, Hans Furth, Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Enrique Pichon Rivière, Alfred Shultz, Jerome Bruner, Juan José Bautista Segales , Franz J. Hinkelammert, Raul Prebisch, Salomón Kalmanovitz, Salvador Camacho Roldán, Héctor Fix Zamudio, Eduardo Juan Couture Etcheverry, Adolfo Alvarado Velloso, Humberto Briseño Sierra, Hugo Alsina, Alfonso Reyes Echandía, Hernando Morales Molina, Hernando Devis Echandía, Bernardo Alberto Houssay, Baruj Benacerraf, Luis Federico Leloir, César Milstein, Mario José Molina and Rodolfo Llinás Riascos among others. It considers necessary the implementation of good editorial practices, in order to highlight these legacies and future changes and developments in Latin American thinking. The commitment of the Autonomous Latin American University is aimed at maintaining an open knowledge policy, which is why we adhere to the joint declaration of the Scientific journals of Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal (LATINDEX), the Network of Scientific Journals of America Latin America and the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal (REDALYC), the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and the Brazilian Institute of Information in Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT). "Declaration of Mexico in Favor of the Latin American Ecosystem of Non-Commercial Open Access", on the use of the Creative Commons CC BY-NC-SA license to guarantee the protection of academic and scientific production in open access. This is without ignoring the existence and validity of Web of Science and Scopus in the search of quality standards (Bongiovani & Gómez, 2015) in order to promote the effectiveness of communication scientific, reaching more people, faster at lower cost without sacrificing ethics and quality.

 

Authorship of scientific works

In order to establish the authorship of the scientific works, the Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana considers that within its publications it is understood as an author:

  • Who participated in the formulation of the problem and the hypothesis.
  • Who conceptualized, created, designed, studied, reviewed, analyzed or interpreted the data.
  • Who participated in the creative elaboration or the manuscript, or edition of the statistical analysis.
  • Who played a leading role in the final version of the work or wrote a portion of the text.
  • Who participated in the interpretation of the results.
  • Who is the principal investigator of the research project and has generated the central idea of ??the entire manuscript.
  • Who has the ability to explain and defend portions of work or study in public or academic places" (CNRSI, 2008).
  • Who is a co-author in the work for having participated in any of the stages of the research in any of the previous items (Official Journal of the European Union, 2005) [2]
  • The order of the authors and the determination of the corresponding author. The order of the authors must be done according to the guidelines accepted in the discipline (Riesenberg and Lundberg, 1990):
  • The first author is the one who contributed most to the work.
  • It is common practice for the senior author to appear at the end, regardless of his contribution and who is responsible for the collective Works.
  • The student can contribute in the first draft, but despite this the senior researcher can rewrite the document and put his signature as autor.
  • The correspondence author is also:
  • Leadership or Leadership: shows the number of articles from a country or institution or researcher.
  • Patterns of scientific collaboration.

 

Disambiguation of authors in databases

The Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana attending to determine univocally the authors who participate in its publications (unambiguously identify authors, in English). It requires its academic authors to register in ResearchID[1] of Thomson Reuters and the ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID)[2] and in order to define the citation indexes of the authors the author's registration is required. Google Scholar For authors of musical works there is ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier).[3] Finally, for the Spanish speaking world, the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) has established IRALIS (International Registry of Authors-Links to Identify Scientists)[4] as a way to normalize the authors of surnames that are generally poorly indexed in international databases.

Taking into account that for the Autonomous Latin American University it is necessary that the author:

  1. Always sign the same
  2. With names and surnames
  3. To adopt the international format Name, surname and initial example in the names: Steven-David, José-María or Steven D., José M., Example in the surnames Pérez-Bravo, Díaz-Veliz or Pérez B., Díaz V.; also the names and compound names must be De-Unamuno or De-Moya or María-del-Carmen)
  4. Do not use abbreviations such as: Mª, Rguez or Fdez.
  5. Preserving the accents or accents.

The above in order to be cited in all journals or texts in a correct and unique manner.

 

Institutional affiliation

Every author must clarify their institutional affiliation in order to publish in the journals of the Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana.

Similarly when registering information in databases, CVLAC, Institulac, GRUPLAC, ResearchID, ORCID, Google Scholar, ISI-WOS (Incites) and SCOPUS (Scival), or citation is made on articles or texts derived from the journals, texts or books of the institution should be clearly marked "Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana", therefore the authors should:

  1. Always include your institutional affiliation. It must be included in this order:
  2. The name of the research group (if applicable).
  3. The department to which it belongs (if applicable).
  4. The center or institute (full name and acronym, if any).
  5. The institution on which it depends, postal address, city, and country.
  6. In the case of being the "Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana", you must inform the acronym "UNAULA" –Colombia.
