ETHICAL STANDARDS:
Responsibilities of the Authors in the ethical safeguard:
By submitting material to Revista Chilena de Pedagogía, all authors accept the present ethical and publication standards:
1. All contributions for evaluation must be anonymous and unpublished, and must not have been approved or submitted for review or evaluation for publication in another journal or publication. They must be written in Spanish.
2. To guarantee the anonymity of the papers during the evaluation process, no information that could identify the authors, such as project names or first-person references to previous publications by the same authors, should be included. Although it is recommended that self-references be avoided, they should be made in an impersonal manner, as if they were the work of any other author.
3. The presentation of the same subject in several journals and/or the publication of the same work in several journals is an unethical practice and will imply the rejection of the article or its elimination from the Revista Chilena de Pedagogía, making the corresponding announcement.
4. Anonymize in the references and in the bibliography their previous works using the term AUTHOR/A instead of their last name. In the references, the title of your previous works will be replaced by the word TITLE. Electronic addresses and DOI of the papers should be replaced by “URL” and “DOI” respectively.
5. Authors should ensure accuracy in the presentation of their own ideas in their articles, differentiating them from cited ideas. Likewise, they must ensure that the text or materials that the authors have used are correctly acknowledged, cited and referenced. Plagiarism in any form is an unethical behavior that will be sanctioned according to the procedures established herein. This includes self-plagiarism, such as undeclared reference to one's own work, and the attempt to publish previous academic work as original publications, without adequate editing or expansion of background or results.
6. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included in it, such as photos, documents and data sets. Likewise, it is necessary that the article indicates the ethical aspects considered in the case of research involving human subjects.
7. All authors must declare their contribution in the manuscripts submitted using the CRediT guidelines (Contribution Role Taxonomy https://credit.niso.org/). In the case of articles with more than one author, all participants will commit a significant contribution to the definition of the contents and express recognition to those who have collaborated in the final result.
8. The sources of financing that have allowed the development of research or projects presented in the articles, as well as any commitment that could influence the interpretation of the conclusions and reflections, will be expressly consigned by the authors, who will guarantee the transparency and veracity of this information.
Good practices of inclusion and non-biased handling of human groups
Revista Chilena de Pedagogía is committed to accurate, unbiased and intersectional research, that is, sensitive to the complexity and breadth of the contexts covered by the journal.
To avoid stereotypes, the use of labels that designate, stigmatize or discriminate against groups of people is discouraged. It is especially important to avoid negative meaning in expressions and condescending terminology when referring to people with functional diversity. In relation to race, comparisons between groups, essentialisms and references to ‘minorities’ should be avoided.
Revista Chilena de Pedagogía recommends the use of non-sexist language in texts submitted for publication.
RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORS FOR THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (GenAI).
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence technology that can produce various types of content, including text, images, audio, and synthetic data. Examples include ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.
In Revista Chilena de Pedagogía manuscripts will be treated as a confidential document. The Editorial Team will not load a manuscript or any part of it into a generative artificial intelligence tool, as this may violate the confidentiality and property rights of the authors and, when the article contains personally identifiable information, may violate data privacy rights.
The Editorial Team will not use generative AI or AI-assisted technologies to assist in the evaluation or decision-making process of a manuscript, as critical thinking and original evaluation are necessary for this work, and there is a risk that the technology will generate incorrect, incomplete, or biased conclusions about the manuscript.
Regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence by the authors of the manuscript, the manuscript should be governed by the recommendations of the Word Association of Medical Editors (WAME), which are as follows:
1. Chatbots cannot be authors.
2. Authors should be transparent about the use of chatbots and provide information about their use.
3. Authors are responsible for the material provided by a chatbot in their manuscript and for proper attribution of all resources (including the original resources of the chatbot-generated material).
4. The editorial team and peer reviewers should specify to the author(s) any use of chatbot in the evaluation of the manuscript and generation of revisions.
