Code of Ethics
Historia y Cultura is firmly committed to national and international ethical standards, ensuring the credibility, transparency, and reliability of its published content. It adheres to the principles of the National Code of Scientific Integrity (Concytec, Peru), as well as the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and internationally recognized editorial best practices.
Compliance with these principles ensures that the editorial process is conducted with transparency, impartiality, confidentiality, and responsibility in all phases of the submission, evaluation and publication process.
We follow the following specific guidelines:
- Editorial Team: Members of the editorial team evaluate manuscript submissions in consultation with the Editorial Board. They are also responsible for maintaining the quality of publications, ensuring compliance with the journal’s editorial policies and style guidelines. The Chief Editor is responsible for the editorial process and makes the final decisions regarding submitted manuscripts.
- Authors: They are responsible for research and writing of the manuscript, including its quality, accuracy, and proper citation practices, as well as for ensuring they hold the legal rights to publish any submitted material. Authors must prepare manuscripts according to the journal’s required instructions. They are also responsible for obtaining permission to use figures, tables, or any other material protected by copyright.
- Reviewers: They must conduct review or evaluation of the manuscript according to professional and ethical standards. They are expected to provide timely observations and comments on manuscripts and to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all submitted materials. Manuscripts will only be shared to reviewers. The identity of reviewers will be confidential during the whole process.
Commitment Against Misconduct
Historia y Cultura follows the principles of originality, academic rigor, and ethical research.
The editorial team verifies the originality of all manuscripts. Similarity detection tools and cross-checks with existing sources are used to identify possible plagiarism or duplicate content.
If any irregularities are found, the article will be rejected.
About Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Historia y Cultura considers that AI is a powerful tool that can be used for specific needs, for example, language editing, style correction or copyediting, or the bibliography section. The journal does not allow the use of AI to formulate arguments, to draft complete sections of a manuscript, to fabricate information or data, or to conduct substantive content review or interpretation. We reject the use of AI for the peer review process.
