Conflict of Interest Policy

According to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) criteria, a conflict of interest refers to any personal, academic, political, economic, or commercial interests that may influence the biased evaluation process of a publication proposal.

A conflict of interest arises when the editorial team, the authorship, or the reviewers have interests that may influence any of the stages related to the publication process: from the biased writing of an article to the acceptance of a submission based on personal interests.

Conflict of Interest Policy for Authors and Reviewers

Cuestiones de Género encourages authors to disclose any conflicts of interest that may influence the submission, acceptance, or rejection of any scientific communication. The journal's Editorial Team will make the decision it deems most appropriate to avoid conflicts of interest at any point in the editorial process.

Likewise, reviewers are required to declare any conflicts of interest that may influence the work for which they are requested. The journal reserves the right to unassign the corresponding review based on this latest information.

For its part, the Cuestiones de Género Editorial Team is committed to making decisions that promote the absence of conflicts of interest at all stages of the editorial process.

Research Misconduct Policy

In accordance with COPE standards, Cuestiones de Género will address reports of potential research misconduct.

Any report submitted, whether by the author or the reviewers.

The editorial team will contact the person suspected of misconduct to obtain a response to the report. If this response is not considered satisfactory, the editor will seek to have the report thoroughly investigated by the members of the editorial board, as well as any research institutions it deems appropriate.
