Editorial Policy

Dos mil tres mil is a window for the dissemination of legal, political, and other related areas of knowledge. Its contribution to the academic world is due to the study, analysis, and research of the aforementioned areas of knowledge and, of course, to the promotion of dialogue within the scientific community. Being an open access journal and funded by the University of Ibagué, the journal does not charge any fee to authors for submitting their articles or for publishing them. Considering that it is a refereed journal, Dos mil tres mil has spaces for the publication of specialized articles, since the manuscripts submitted for the Research section, after being accepted by the Editorial Team, will be submitted to the evaluation of academic peers under the double-blind system. For the other sections, Dos mil tres mil journal will submit the articles to the evaluation of a reading committee. The selection of manuscripts will be made considering the policies of each section.

Types of articles published in the Journal:

• Research: includes all research, reflection, or review articles that meet the parameters of the Colombian Science, Technology, and Innovation Journal Indexing Service guidelines. These articles typically have four sections: introduction, methodology, results, and conclusions (https://minciencias.gov.co/).
• Studies: this section publishes papers and other academic contributions by professionals in the fields of law, politics, and social sciences in Colombia.
• Academic events: this section includes reports on the activities held by the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the University of Ibagué.
• Case law: presents analyses of relevant judicial decisions in the national and international level.

• Reviews: Reviews of literary or scientific works that present and analyze topics of law, political science, and related subjects.

The journal Dos mil tres mil has a policy of accepting manuscripts on a rolling basis and recommends the use of the orcid persistent digital identifier as a system for standardizing authorship.

Manuscripts submitted to any section of the journal must be original and unpublished; simultaneous or prior submission to other journals is not admissible, except in cases where they were published in another language. In such cases, the original publication must be cited. To submit articles, authors must register on the journal's platform, as the entire editorial process (submission, review, and publication) is performed through the Open Journal Systems (ojs) platform. Authors are required to indicate the language of the text and the section of interest, and to verify the submission checklist established by the journal.

It is worth noting that the articles in our editions represent the scientific position of the authors based on their research, training, and experience, and therefore do not compromise the editorial committee or the editor.

Moreover, Dos mil tres mil provides transparent instructions about the publication process and invites authors to review the following diagram: Image.

General ethical guidelines for scientific publication and malpractice in the journal Dos mil tres mil

The journal Dos mil tres mil, published by the University of Ibagué, aims to optimize its processes for receiving, reviewing, editing, and publishing research articles, studies, case law, reviews, and academic events. In these processes, the Principles of Transparency and Good Practice in Academic Publishing of the Committee on Publication Ethics (cope) are adopted as ethical standards.

In general, these principles can be consulted at the following link: https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines/principles-transparency-and-best-practice-scholarly-publishing

 

 

Authors

In accordance with the guidelines established by COPE, authorship will be attributed to those who meet the following criteria:

1. Substantial contribution to the conception, design, or acquisition of data, or the analysis and interpretation of data.
2. Drafting of the article or critical review of it to determine its important intellectual content.
3. Final approval of the version to be published.

In addition, the essential duties that authors must fulfill are:

• To demonstrate the originality, clarity of the article, accuracy of the data, as well as the validity of the study and its relevance to the scope of the journal.
• Confirm the originality of the manuscript and correctly cite content taken from other sources in accordance with the international standards of the American Psychological Association (apa) and the Ediciones Ibagué Publication Guide.
• Be familiar with the guidelines for authors and comply with them in full. For this point, it is necessary to consult the list of submission requirements (https://revistas.unibague.edu.co/submissions) and the specific requirements according to the section in which the manuscript is classified.

Similarly, the following points are important to consider before submitting a manuscript and should be considered during the publication process.

Acknowledgment of authorship and contributions: For manuscripts with multiple authors, include a paragraph stating each author's personal contribution. Attach this paragraph to the authorship checklist.

Additionally, the works and methodologies of other researchers who contributed to the manuscript must be cited appropriately. Failure to provide this information constitutes plagiarism.

Originality of the manuscript: It must be stated in writing, including that the text is not being submitted simultaneously for publication in another journal and that the content is completely original.

Acknowledgments and thanks: If an institution or researcher made a relevant contribution to the published work, it must be appropriately acknowledged within the text.

Conflict of interest: It is the duty of authors or co-authors, editors, or reviewers to disclose potential conflicts of interest associated with the publication. A conflict of interest is anything that could influence the objectivity of the peer review and publication processes.

Duplicate publications: Authors should not publish the same article in more than one journal to avoid self-plagiarism.

Errors admitted in published articles: Authors are obligated to notify the editor of the journal immediately if they recognize an error in a published work that may affect its validity.

 

Retractions (definition by cope) ^[1]:

A retraction is a mechanism for correcting the literature and alerting readers to articles containing erroneous or flawed data or content, which may lead to unreliable results or conclusions.

Articles may be subject to retraction when:

• There is clear evidence that significant errors were made in preparing the text, rendering the conclusions unreliable.
• Plagiarism has occurred.
• The results have been previously published elsewhere without proper attribution to the previous sources or disclosure to the publisher.
• The text contains material or data that has not been authorized for use.
• Copyright infringement or other serious legal issues (e.g., defamation or invasion of privacy) have occurred.
• Unethical research is reported.
• The article was published solely based on a compromised or manipulated peer review process.
• The author(s) failed to disclose a conflict of interest in a relevant manner.

However, minor errors that can be corrected do not constitute sufficient grounds for retraction. These are the minimum ethical requirements for publication and attribution of authorship.

The following are additional parameters for each participant in the editorial process.

Evaluation Process

When the author submits the manuscript, the Editorial Team performs a preliminary evaluation to verify that the article complies with the standards of form indicated in the guidelines for authors ((format, style, sections, references, etc.) and is subjected to a verification of originality by means of the Plagiarism Detector program.

Research:

After verifying the relevance and compliance with the journal's guidelines, the editor will send the manuscripts to the peer review stage, under the double-blind review system. Each article will be evaluated by at least two academic peers, national or foreign, in case of discrepancies between the concepts issued, the text will be sent to a third peer reviewer whose decision will be final.

If the peer reviewer accepts the review, he/she will have access to the full text and to an online form (OJS) to support the arbitration process. Dos mil tres mil requests peer reviewers to revise criteria such as relevance, argumentation, and formal aspects of the articles; they may also make recommendations for the improvement of the manuscript and issue their opinion.

If the evaluation reports suggest minor modifications, the author will be asked to introduce them. According to the results of the arbitrations, the editor reserves the right to accept or reject the publication of the papers received, as well as to suggest to the authors changes of form that do not imply altering the content. The request for corrections to the authors during the evaluation process does not imply publication in any case since this commitment is only acquired at the moment of sending the acceptance communication to publish the manuscript.

The selection of peer reviewers is made according to the thematic specialty. Peers should inform the journal editor if they consider that the manuscript under review is not original, recognize a possible case of plagiarism or copyright infringement. The peer reviewer should abstain from the evaluation if he/she considers that there are possible conflicts of interest that affect his/her impartiality, such as the existence of blood or affinity ties with the author. By accepting this process, the referees undertake to maintain total confidentiality with respect to the data that they become aware due to their work as evaluators of the article.
