Ethic policy

The Bolivian Journal of Education will ensure that the editorial team and the reviewers, as well as the authors, follow the required ethical guidelines during the publication process. To achieve this, it relies on the following international standards: the Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and the International Standards for Editors and Authors established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

  Authors' commitments

• Multiple publications: Authors should not repeat their results in multiple scientific journals or any other type of publication, regardless of whether these are academic or not. Simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple scientific journals is considered ethically inappropriate behavior.
• Truthfulness and accuracy of information: Authors submitting their work to "REBE" guarantee the originality of their contributions and that these have not been previously published in any other source. They also certify that they have not included excerpts from other authors' works nor have they altered empirical data to support their hypotheses.
• Conflicts of interest and declaration: Authors must make an explicit declaration if they have no conflicts of interest that could impact the results or interpretations of their work. They must also reveal any funding provided by agencies or projects that supported the research.
• Attribution, citation, and references: Authors must always ensure that they include appropriate references to the sources and contributions mentioned in their article.
• Authorship participation: Authors commit to listing individuals who have made substantial scientific and intellectual contributions to the conception, planning, interpretation of results, and writing of the work. They must also determine the order of authorship based on their degree of responsibility and contribution.
• Availability and preservation: If considered appropriate by the Editorial Board, authors must provide access to the sources or data used in their research. These data should remain available for a reasonable time after publication and possibly be accessible.
• Correction of errors in published articles: If an author detects a substantial error or inaccuracy in their already published article, they must immediately notify the journal editors and provide the necessary information to correct the error through a footnote, without altering the original version of the article.
• Responsibility: Authors are the only responsible for the content of the articles published in "REBE." Additionally, authors are expected to conduct a detailed review of the most recent and relevant scientific literature related to the topic addressed, considering various perspectives and streams of knowledge.
