Authors are entirely responsible for the content of their contributions, as well as for ensuring ―in a letter provided by Estudios de Asia y África that must be signed― that they are original and unpublished.

For journals published by El Colegio de México, plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else’s work and presenting it as one’s own. Plagiarism is rejected as well as self-plagiarism and the reuse of works previously published by the authors without proper citation.

As a policy for the prevention of plagiarism, Estudios de Asia y África reserves the right to review all texts submitted for publication using specialized anti-plagiarism software and common criteria to detect such practices. A basic guide to the most common plagiarism practices can be found here.

If plagiarism is detected, publication of the manuscript will be ruled out and the Editorial Committee will review the case and determine a sanction based on its seriousness.
