A conflict of interest is any act that interferes or is perceived with the complete and objective presentation of the assignment, peer review, editorial decisions, or publishing research articles or non-research related sent.

 

2.1 Author:

1. a) The author must disclose any interest or personal relationship that may be affected by the publication of the submitted manuscript.
2. b) Funding sources must be acknowledged in the manuscript.
3. c) All authors must disclose any financial interest in corporate or commercial entities related to the manuscript's subject.
4. d) On behalf of all authors, the corresponding author is responsible for informing the Editor of an actual or apparent conflict of interest at the time of manuscript submission.
5. e) Said conflicts would be recognized in the published article.
6. f) All authors must include a conflict of the interest disclosure statement in their manuscripts submitted to TEJD.
7. g) Authors should also submit corrections if conflicts of interest are revealed after publication.

Authors must guarantee that their procedures and methodologies comply with the international ethical codes of scientific research in Engineering and related sciences, such as the application of APA standards for the citation of references; said guarantee will be recorded in writing in the form of declaration of conflicts of interest, which will be requested upon sending the article for preliminary review, making the author or authors fully responsible for the ethical violations that they may have incurred within the research where the article derives from. In the same way, the author must inform the conflicts of interest that her work may have in case he has them. The person who sends the document for publication will be identified as the guarantor of the work in its entirety. With him, communications related to the editing process will be established.

Authors must make the Declaration of Conflicts of Interest at two different times and parts related to the manuscript submission process:

1. You must send the signed Declaration of Conflicts of Interest letter: The authors declare no conflicts of interest; if there is a conflict of interest, it must be declared. If the manuscript is accepted, this declaration will be published together with the article.

2. In the full text, in the Declaration of Conflicts of Interest section, you must write the following note: “The author(s) declare(s) that they have no conflict of interest.” Or “if they exist,” they must be duly declared. They must be declared on both sides.

Note: Failure to declare the Declaration of Conflicts of Interest may result in the immediate rejection of a manuscript.

 

2.2 Reviewer:

1. a) A reviewer is charged with providing an unbiased assessment of the scientific merit of a manuscript under review.
2. b) The reviewers have the task of evaluating any conflict of interest revealed by the author, as well as disclosing any situation or relationship with the editor that may bias or be perceived as biased in its evaluation of the submitted manuscript.
3. c) These include personal relationships with the authors, concurrent competitive research on the same topic in the manuscript, or professional ties with an organization interested in the subject matter under review.
4. d) In cases where an actual or apparent conflict of interest is disclosed, the use of a provided or requested review is at the discretion of the editor.

The Technological-Educational Journal Docentes 2.0 (TEDJ) will reject all those articles that implicitly or explicitly contain experiences, methods, procedures, or any other activity that follows unethical, discriminatory, offensive, or aggressive practices, among others; or those that, if present, do not clearly express any type of conflict of interests, leaving its publication to the Editorial Committee's judgment.
