PLAGIARISM AVOIDANCE POLICY

The Investigation Vectors Magazine makes use of an appropriate mechanism to avoid plagiarism in the content of the articles it publishes, accommodating the originality percentage standards that are demanded internationally. Articles are reviewed by two blind peers.

INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Revista Vectores de Investigación (RVI) is a journal open to all disciplines related to social science, humanities and health in the context of specific regions and cities. It is also open to different viewpoints and methodologies; however, it has no responsibility for the content of its papers. Articles are reviewed by two blind pairs. The originals of the manuscripts submitted to be considered for publication will undergo an editorial process comprising several stages:

1. The manuscripts submitted to RVI must have an eminently academic character. Due to the nature of the journal, it is impossible to accept journalistic or general comment papers about any subject.

2. The name of the author(s) or any other form of identification must only appear on the cover page.

3. The collaborations must be submitted in their final and complete version, since it will be impossible to accept changes once the refereeing and production processes have started.

4. Once it has been decided that the paper complies with the requirements established by the journal, it will be sent to two readers who will anonymously determine whether the article will be: A. Published without changes. B. Published eleven minor corrections have been made. C. Published once a major revision has been made or D. Rejected. In the case in which both results differ from each other, the article will be sent to a third referee, whose decision will determine the result of the refereeing process. In all cases, the results are unappeasable. The articles submitted by staff of an academic institution will always be submitted for consideration to referees external to it.

5. The authors agree to grant RVI permission to distribute their material in the journal, as well as in magnetic and photographic media. The patrimonial rights of the papers published in RVI are transferred to the Center for Research on Comparative Studies of Latin America (CIECAL), after the academic and editorial acceptance to publish and distribute the manuscript, both in print and electronically.

6. Likewise, the authors retain their moral rights as established by law. The main author will receive a copyright transfer form that must be signed, with the understanding that the rest of the authors have given their agreement. The authors also retain their right to use the material in their papers in other works or books published by themselves, provided that they die RVI as the original source of the text.

The abstract must contain concise information about the contents of the article: main results, method and conclusions. It must not contain tables, numbers, bibliographic references or mathematical expressions.

The main body must have clear information about the place where they must be inserted.
