AUTHORSHIP POLICY
In general, the journal Ciencia y Tecnología will process manuscripts with a maximum of six authors. The list of authors must be provided to the editor at the time of submission, with no further modifications allowed. Only those individuals who have contributed intellectually to the development of the work should be included on the list of authorship authors. Having assisted in data collection or having participated in one of the techniques used are not, in themselves, sufficient criteria for authorship. In general, to be included as an author, the following requirements must be met:
- Having participated in the design and implementation of the work that resulted in the article to be submitted.
- Participated in the writing of the text and any revisions thereof.
- Approved the version that will be published.
The journal is not responsible for any disputes regarding the authorship of published works.
The journal adheres to COPE (https://publicationethics.org/).
- COPYRIGHT TRANSFER
Along with the article, authors must submit a "copyright transfer" form, signed by each author.
The views and opinions expressed in articles and documents published in the journal are the views and opinions of the authors and not necessarily those of the Editorial Board.
- READERS' RIGHTS
Readers have the right to read all articles free of charge immediately after publication. This journal does not charge any fees for publication or access to its materials.
- MACHINE READABILITY AND INTEROPERABILITY
The full text, metadata, and references of the articles can be followed and accessed with permission. Our open social policy allows for readability of the files and their metadata, promoting interoperability under the OAI-PMH open data and open-source protocol. Articles are available in HTML and PDF formats, making them easy to read on any device and computing platform.
- PUBLISHING RIGHTS
If the article is accepted for publication, the copyright will belong to the journal. As mentioned, each article must be accompanied by a "copyright release," which specifies that the article is unpublished and indicates that the copyright is exclusively owned by the journal. Other details are explicit in the document, such as that the article has not been simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Furthermore, the author is responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any copyrighted material and must clearly specify which table, figure, or text will be cited, along with the full bibliographic reference. The opinions, judgments, and criteria expressed by the authors are their own and do not reflect the opinion or policy of the journal.
