Plagiarism check and review

Once the article has been received, and in compliance with the publication regulations of the journal, a plagiarism check is carried out, using the TURNITIN program.

If from this review the certainty arises that the content of the article, either in part or in its entirety, is a copy of other material already published, the writing in question will be withdrawn regardless of the review stage in which it is found.

Likewise, the act of withdrawing a text with confirmation of plagiarism can be done once it has been published the number of way online.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content, based on the principle offering to the public free access to research supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Authors are allowed and encouraged to deposit their works published in CDHIS in other repositories, as this favors their circulation, dissemination and preservation.

Self-archiving policy

The author can share, disseminate and disseminate their research published by the media (eg, academic social networks, repositories and portals) available on the web.
After the publication of the articles, the authors can make other types of independent or additional agreements for the non-exclusive dissemination of the version of the article published in this journal (publication in books or institutional repositories), the author is allowed that all the versions of your article are deposited in an institutional or other repository at the author's choice, however, provided that it is indicated with the respective reference that the work has been published for the first time in this journal.

Procedures for dealing with unethical behavior

 - Identification of unethical behavior

 · The misconduct and unethical behavior can be identified and brought to the attention of the director and editor at any time, by anyone.

· The misconduct and unethical behavior may include, but not be limited to, examples as indicated above.

· The editor reporting such conduct should provide sufficient information and evidence to initiate an investigation. All complaints will be taken with the seriousness it deserves and will be treated in the same way, until you reach a successful conclusion or decision.

- Research

· Evidence must be collected, while preventing the spread of any charge beyond those who need to know.

- Minor Offences

· A minor misconduct may be treated without more widely investigation. In any case, the author should have the opportunity to respond to the allegations.

- Serious Offenses

· With a serious misconduct we will notify the accused. The editor, in consultation with the publisher or society, when appropriate, should make the decision whether or not to involve the employees, either by examining the available information or through further consultations with a limited number of expert evidence.

- Results (in increasing order of severity, can be applied separately or together)

· Report to the author or reviewer where it seems that there is a misunderstanding or misapplication of acceptable standards.

· Stronger author or reviewer letter covering the misconduct and as a warning to future behavior.

· The sending of an email with a formal notice detailing the misconduct.

· A formal, carefully written letter to author, department or agency funding.

· Formal retraction or withdrawal of a publication of the magazine, along with formal notification to the author or department and indexing services and the readers of the publication notice.

· Report on the case and the result of a professional organization or higher authority for further investigation and action.

 

ETHICAL STANDARDS

CDHIS agrees to abide and respect the rules of ethical behavior at all stages of the publishing process. We closely follow the industry association, such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which establishes standards and provides guidelines for best practices in order to meet these requirements. Here is a summary of our key expectations for editors, reviewers and authors shown.

Responsibilities of Editors 

- To act in a balanced, objective and fair manner in the exercise of its expected functions, without discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, ethnic or geographic origin of the authors.

- Publishers must ensure that material submitted for publication remains confidential while it is examined.

- The editors will not reverse decisions to accept shipments unless there is serious conflict of originality with the submission of an article.

- The decisions of publishers to accept or reject a paper for publication should be based only on paper importance, originality, clarity, and relevance of the study of the powers of the magazine.

- To adopt and follow reasonable procedures for dealing with allegations of ethical or conflict character in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Company in its case. To give authors a reasonable opportunity to respond to complaints. All complaints should be investigated no matter when the original publication was approved. The documentation associated with such complaints should be maintained.

- Always be prepared to issue corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary.

Responsibilities of Reviewers

- To contribute to the process of decision making, and to help improve the quality of work published by revising the manuscript objectively, at the right time.

- To maintain the confidentiality of all information provided by the publisher or the author.

- To be aware of potential conflicts of interest (financial relationships, institutional, or other collaboration between the critic and writer) and to alert the publisher of these, if necessary, withdraw their services for that manuscript.

Responsibilities of Authors

- To maintain an accurate record of the data associated with the submitted manuscript, and to provide or facilitate access to these data, upon reasonable request.

- To confirm / affirm that the manuscript was presented as not being considered or accepted for publication elsewhere.

- To confirm that all work on the manuscript submitted is original and recognize and cite the contents reproduced from other sources, for permission to reproduce any content from other sources.

- Declare any potential conflict of interest (for example, where the author has a competing interest (real or perceived) might be considered or seen as exerting undue influence on their functions at any time during the publishing process).

- To immediately notify the editor of the magazine or publisher if a significant error is identified on publication. Collaborate with the director and editor to publish an errata, addenda, error correction notice, or to retract the paper, when deemed necessary.

_________________________________________________________________

The following are the most important aspects that authors should review for their applications.

Title

Verify that:

• Properly describe the essential content of the contribution
• Do not exceed 20 words

Key words

Ensure that:

• Be indicative of the content of the contribution, and include a maximum of six terms (simple or compound)
• Be useful to identify the essentials of the contribution

Abstract

• Keep a maximum of 250 words.
• Present in a maximum of two paragraphs
• Include the most important elements of the work: objectives, methods and results. The results must constitute at least 50% of the abstract, highlighting the most relevant
• Be clear and concise, as often the abstract is the only thing that is read when consulting and citing a publication
• Include the scientific names of each of the species mentioned

Introduction

Contain the specific background and justification of the topic, set out in a clear and orderly manner; Supported with appropriate bibliographical references. 

Objectives and assumptions are clearly indicated. 

The largest number of references are of recent publication (10 years or less). 

The references refer specifically to the subject, eliminating those that in their judgment are superfluous or seem to simulate a false erudition. 

The bibliography does not appear as a list of tabs without a defined objective, or that "multiple quotes" are used to support a concept, as this only serves to appear a broad bibliographic review. As a general rule, a maximum of three citations should suffice to support an assertion. 

Do not use difficult or impossible references to see appointments, such as course notes, mimeographed information and technical reports, as they are not verifiable or accessible to most readers.

Materials and Methods

• Be described in a clear, brief, concise and orderly manner. 

• In each experiment or group of experiments, the applied treatments, the experimental design used and the environmental or general driving conditions should be clearly noted, in addition to the variables evaluated and the applied statistical analysis. 

• The description of the variables specifies the way in which each was measured, the instrument used (with brand, model, and company that manufactures it) and its units and symbols according to the International System of Units. The variables must be understood in a complete way, without having to read the text, with the inevitable exceptions. 

• Variables generated by transformations, combinations or relations of one or more measures directly, are also described with their equation and bibliographic reference, if applicable. 

• When using abbreviations for variables, these are defined in this chapter (and not the results), even if they are commonly used in some scientific discipline. 

• The materials and methods used are consistent with the objectives or hypotheses. The lack of correspondence between methods and objectives should be a serious reason for rejection. 

• The detailed description of a methodology is only made when it is an innovation. If necessary, it should be described with sufficient amplitude for another researcher to repeat or reproduce. 

• Do not contain common domain protocol descriptions. 

• Variance analysis tables of commonly used experimental designs are not presented.

Results and Discussion

They are presented in an orderly, clear and precise manner. 

The description of results do not repeat the information in tables or figures. 

Contain the discussion of the results, which is to offer an adequate interpretation, as well as to compare the most relevant results with those of other authors who have worked a similar theme in the same or other species. Failure to do so is sufficient reason to refuse a contribution. 

All data is legible. It is not uncommon to find letters or numbers that are too small, fuzzy or confusing. 

Both tables and figures are understandable without reading the text. 

Do not present tables or figures overloaded with information. There are excellent texts that instruct on how to present pictures and figures in a scientific article. 

The results are congruent with the objectives and methods described.

Conclusions

• Unsubstantiated speculations or deductions in the text are omitted. 

• The conclusions are not presented in numbered form. 

• Do not contain bibliographical references.

Literature Cited

• Use the standards according to the APA Sixth Edition Manual.

• Each reference contains all the information required in the Guide for authors, in the order stipulated and with the correct punctuation. It is very common that the number of pages of the books consulted is missing, that the order of the initials in the names of authors is altered, and that the title of the book or the name of the publisher is omitted in the case of chapters of books. 

• References appear in alphabetical order and chronological suborder. 

• The citations listed are referred to in the text, and vice versa, and that the names and years coincide every time they are cited.

FREQUENCY OF PUBLICATION 

CDHIS promptly publishes two issues a year; it will have a biannual basis.

However, the contents of each issue are not necessarily published all at once, but they may appear periodically over a period of six months, until the issue is considered closed. This system allows accelerating the time of publication of the contents of the magazine, without the need to wait till the entire issue has been edited.

Receipt of items remains open throughout the year.

Interoperability Protocol

The journal provides an OAI-PMH interface (Open Archives Initiative - Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) that allows its contents to be harvested by other distribution systems, such as digital repositories and harvesters.

Specifications:

● OAI-PMH Protocol Versión 2.0
● Dublin Core Metadata
