However, publications for authors affiliated with the Universidad de los Llanos will not exceed 50% by number.

 

Policy Antiplagio: The act of copying other people's works without giving the corresponding credits is an unacceptable behavior and cause of rejection for any type of manuscript submitted for publication. Orinoquia includes in the editorial process the review by means of software that measures the degree of similarity comparing with documents published and indexed in electronic databases and any internet resource. Authors who are detected this action on a recurring basis, will be studied by the editorial committee with the possibility of being vetoed in the journal.

 

Copyright Policy: The authors who publish in the journal are eligible for the non-commercial, non-derivative creative commons 3.0 license code.

 

Ethics in Publication: Submission of an article means that it has not been previously published, that it is not being considered for publication in any other medium (except thesis and degree work) or in any other language and that it is being submitted with knowledge of all Authors. Failure to do so violates Orinoquia's ethics policies. The material published in the journal reflects the opinion of the authors and not that of the editors of the journal. No articles on animal testing that do not have the respective permits of the ethics committee will be published.

After the manuscript has been accepted, all authors must sign a Publication Agreement. An email will be sent to the correspondence author confirming that the manuscript was received with a copy of the Publication Agreement or its respective link. Orinoquia must be requested to reproduce the content of an article published in the journal.

 

Conflict of interest: Authors must state that they have no potential or actual financial, personal or other conflicts with other persons or organizations within the next two years after submitting the article, which may negatively influence the work performed. See the "Conflict of Interest" form in the Open Journal System.

 

Changes in authorship: This policy refers to the addition, removal or re-accommodation of the authors' order. Before the article is published on-line, the correspondence author can request the Editor to add, remove or modify the order of the authors. You must indicate the reason for making the modification and send a written communication signed by all the authors certifying that all agree with the modification. In case of addition or removal the written communication must include confirmation from the author (s). The chief editor will notify the Section Director of this change. Once the article is published, no additions, removals or modifications are accepted in the authors' order.

Periodicity and Editorial Process: The journal is Open Access and publishes every six months in Spanish and / or English. The published works are the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Orinoquia or the Institution to which the authors belong. Articles not approved for publication will be returned to the authors accompanied by the editorial concept and evaluations made by academic peers. Peer review is conducted with external juries when the manuscript commits authors of the institution, and is not affiliated or linked in order to obtain unbiased opinions. When submitting the article, each author / co-author must enclose a certification where they state the knowledge and acceptance of its content. During the review process the authors must make the necessary adjustments to the manuscript. No changes will be accepted once the manuscript is diagrammed for publication.

Relations with the authors: Orinoquia is committed to guarantee the quality of the material that publishes, informing about the objectives and norms of the magazine. Editors' decisions to accept or reject a document for publication are based solely on the relevance of the work, its originality and the relevance of the study in relation to the editorial line of the journal.

The journal includes a description of the processes followed in the peer evaluation of each work received. It has a guide of authors in which this information is presented. This guide is regularly updated and contains a link to this ethical statement. The right of authors to appeal editorial decisions is recognized.
The publishers will not change their decision in accepting shipments, unless irregularities or extraordinary situations are detected. Any change in the editorial team members will not affect the decisions already taken, except in exceptional cases where serious circumstances occur.

 

Relations with evaluators: Orinoquia provides the evaluators with guidance on what is expected of them. The identity of the evaluators is protected at all times, guaranteeing their anonymity.

Follow-up of bad practices: Orinoquia assumes its obligation to act accordingly in case of suspected bad practices or inappropriate behavior. This obligation extends to both published and unpublished documents. Publishers will not only reject manuscripts that raise doubts about possible misconduct but are considered ethically obligated to report alleged cases of misconduct. All reasonable efforts will be made from the journal to ensure that the work under evaluation is rigorous and ethically sound.
