8. Anti-Plagiarism Policy and Peer Review Process

The journal uses the Turnitin anti-plagiarism tool. Before starting the peer review process, the document will go through this tool.

The articles are analyzed by reviewers external to the publishing entity, anonymously, issuing a judgment based on criteria of relevance, originality, clarity and pertinence of the work presented.

The scientific and academic quality of all articles will be evaluated by two anonymous reviewers (peer review, double-blind).

9. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The Editor is responsible for ensuring that the editing, authoring and peer review processes leading to publication incorporate good practice and ethical, accountable and transparent behaviour by all parties involved. This includes the use of AI during the editing process.

The editing and authoring processes of Proyección will never rely on AI, the use of which will be restricted to being a support tool to make these processes faster or more efficient. The Editor will ensure that authors, peer reviewers and Editorial Board members are adequately informed about their use of AI. Reviewers may not resort to the use of AI to evaluate manuscripts (Vid. infra).

Warning: in none of the editing, authoring and peer review processes, manuscripts received for evaluation may be uploaded (in whole or in part) into an AI application, as their content could potentially become part of the training data. Confidential information would be shared and the authors' intellectual property rights would be infringed.
