Anti-plagiarism policy

The editorial board of the Revista UGC uses the Urkund software to detect coincidences and similarities between the texts submitted for evaluation and those previously published in other sources. To guarantee the authenticity and correct use of the information in the document, the following acceptable similarity parameters are followed:

a) 1 to 15% (low similarity): similarity or intentional plagiarism is not considered. The work is accepted and moves on to the next phases of review.

b) 16 to 30 (moderate similarity): the editor will generate the report and will instruct the author to correct or better reference the information within the established period (10 days).

c) 31 to 40% (high similarity): the editor generates the report and notifies the Director of the Journal to make decisions. In addition to informing the authors of the article.

e) More than 40% (Possible plagiarism): the text is analyzed in detail to decide whether to grant the right to correction or reject the manuscript.
