Misconduct and ethically questionable actions include the following:
1. Plagiarism, understood as the literal or substantial copying of another's work, making it appear that it is one's own or original to the item in question. This includes the copying of one's own articles and academic works, or the publication of one's own previous research results already published, as if they were new.
2. The falsification of research data or the use of public data compiled by third parties without citing the source.
3. Defamation of persons, social groups or institutions.
4. Action in the presence of a conflict of interest.
5. The falsification of information about institutional affiliation, access to funds, scholarships or financing, or other background information that seeks to place the work or its authors in a context to which they do not belong.
Responsibilities of the Editorial Team in ethical safeguarding
The editorial team is responsible for ensuring the application of the established publication standards and ethical principles, as well as for supervising the evaluation process.
The editorial team will use the Turnitin anti-plagiarism tool or equivalent to check the manuscript against materials available in academic media.
The editorial team will ensure that each article specifies the role of each of its co-authors in its realization, using the CRediT guidelines (Contribution Role Taxonomy https://credit.niso.org/). Each author should state his/her consent and participation in the preparation of the manuscript.
The editorial team will ensure the functioning of the peer review and double blind refereeing system. All author and peer reviewer information, as well as sensitive data included in the manuscripts and evaluation reports, must remain confidential during the editorial process.
Manuscripts will be reviewed by the editorial team and submitted for peer review regardless of the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnicity, nationality, political ideology, or institutional affiliation.
After the evaluation of the manuscript, the reviewers will submit the corresponding evaluation forms, clearly stating their reasons for accepting or rejecting the original. Likewise, they will warn the editorial team if they detect or suspect cases of duplicate or repetitive publications, conflicts of interest, unrealistic data or any other ethical dilemma.
The editorial team will act impartially on the decisions made by the reviewers. If an original is accepted by one reviewer and rejected by another, it will be referred to a third reviewer. After peer review, the final decision on the publication of the articles, following the peer review process, is made by the editorial team.
The members of the editorial team may not use for their own benefit, nor disseminate any information presented in the articles or in the comments made by the peer reviewers.
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.
Responsibilities of the Evaluators in the ethical safeguards
1. The evaluators are academics and professionals specialized in different areas of the journal's thematic lines.
2. The reviewers are selected and assigned to review an article by the editorial team, based on their experience. However, an evaluator may refuse to review an article whose contents do not fit his/her area of expertise, and recommend a more specialized evaluator in the subject. In view of the timing of the editorial process, reviewers should inform the editor whether they accept or reject the review of an article as soon as possible.
3. Any manuscript submitted for review should be considered a confidential document. This manuscript should not be discussed or presented to third parties. Information contained in unpublished articles may not be used in whole or in part by reviewers.
4. The reviewers, through their review, undertake to ensure the accuracy and quality of the information in the articles. Any relevant aspect, omission or error will be reported in the review guideline. The same applies if the omission of relevant sources is detected, or if the work includes total or partial plagiarism.
5. Criticisms, comments and recommendations should be made in the review guideline, in a respectful and neutral manner, and based on reasonable and well-documented arguments.
Responsibilities and management of conflicts of interest
1. The Editorial Team of the Revista Chilena de Pedagogía declares that it is always attentive to the identification of conflicts of interest of its members, authors and reviewers. The member of the Editorial Team who declares a conflict of interest with respect to an article will abstain from participating in the parts of the editorial process that involve its evaluation, and will be replaced in his or her functions by another member.
2. For authors and evaluators, mechanisms for consultation on possible conflicts of interest are included, and the editorial team will maintain an active role in identifying their existence.
3. In case of detecting a conflict of interest not previously declared in the instruments provided, the Revista Chilena de Pedagogía reserves the right to reject the article in question, the evaluation carried out or apply the protocols provided for unethical behavior that may lead to the withdrawal of the article and its public announcement.
Handling of unethical behavior, complaints and appeals
The editorial team will be attentive at all stages of the process for the detection of unethical conduct, its follow-up, investigation and opportunity for appeal. When a third party identifies misconduct and/or unethical action, please report it to the editorial team at revistachilenapedagogia.ffyh@uchile.cl.
The reporter of unethical conduct must provide verifiable information to initiate an investigation. All reports will remain anonymous. These reports will be seriously considered by the Editorial Committee and will be treated in a similar manner until a corresponding outcome or agreement is reached. Following COPE (Committee of Publication Ethics) guidelines, the editorial team is responsible for:
1. Choosing the appropriate form of the research, and may request the advice of the Editorial Committee or designate an academic committee for this purpose.
2. Notifying whoever has violated the journal's ethical norms of the alleged facts.
3. To request relevant data from all parties or informants.
4. Conduct the investigation with depth of scope and in absolute confidentiality.
5. To give the authors the opportunity to make their disclaimers, clarifications and appeals.
6. Determine the results of the investigation or the validity of the claim with the available data.
7. If the unethical conduct implies the invalidity of a published article, the Revista Chilena de Pedagogía will publish a formal observation in the Notices section of the journal's portal https://revistadepedagogia.uchile.cl/ with the details of the inappropriate conduct and will withdraw the work in question, along with notifying the audience of this action.
8. If the unethical conduct involves the influence of conflicts of interest in the evaluations or editorial process, the Revista Chilena de Pedagogía will repeat the evaluation process with evaluators or members of the editorial team different from those who incurred in unethical conduct.
9. Depending on the seriousness of the conduct, Revista Chilena de Pedagogía reserves the right to enforce an embargo on the possibility of publication of the authors, or not to request editorial or evaluation work from the members involved. The duration of these measures may be permanent, or proportional to the seriousness of the fault.
Corrections and post-publication discussions
1. Revista Chilena de Pedagogía is open to receive corrections or clarifications from authors on published articles.
2. The Revista Chilena de Pedagogía accepts that authors may retract previously published articles, in which case the article will be removed from the platform and such action will be reported with its causes and justifications in the Notices section.
3. In the event that, in the opinion of the Editorial Team, the authors cannot sustain the position or results of an article in the face of the discussion raised and made public, the authors will have the opportunity to publish an amendment to it, or to retract its publication.
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.
Data exchange and reproducibility
The Revista Chilena de Pedagogía encourages authors to make available the data that support the results published in their articles. Data that may compromise the privacy, security and dignity of the subjects or institutions involved, or that for legal or ethical reasons cannot be made public, are excluded. The data for which we promote their public availability include, for example, quantitative data and statistical analyses collected for research, qualitative analysis data and processes, images and figures of our own elaboration, and interviews anonymized or with informed consent for their public availability, among others.
For public availability of these data, the use of data repositories with long-term preservation of files and the use of persistent identifiers is recommended. Some examples of portals and data storage environments are Zenodo, re3data.org, Open Science Framework (OSF) or other data repositories specialized in specific topics. In that sense, we encourage authors to direct the location of processed or raw data, by means of a DOI or a persistent URL address, in the final approved version of their paper after peer review. We also encourage that such data be made available under open licenses so that they can be reused.
Although data sharing is not mandatory in our journal, we reserve the right to request confidential access to any primary data necessary to verify results.
Authors will be required to properly cite any publicly available research data in their reference list.
Disclaimer
The opinions and contents of published papers are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Journal. Upon receipt of the articles, editors and reviewers are free to suggest partial modifications of their content without affecting the sense of the author's arguments. After the acceptance of the articles for publication, Revista Chilena de Pedagogía is free to reproduce the contents for dissemination purposes, duly indicating the authors.
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.
