Ethics policy and best practices in publishing

Good editorial practices
Plagiarism: All proposals for publication will be reviewed by a text similarity check programme. Proposals containing a high percentage of similarity will not be accepted (more than 10%).
2.    Inadequate authorship: Authors are responsible for the authors' participation in the authorship and the order of appearance in the article; the journal has no influence on these aspects. Authors should not make changes to the number and order of authors once the editorial process has started.
3.    Redundant publication (duplicate publication and fragmented publication): The Journal does not accept duplicate publication, in case of incurring in this fault and demonstrating its occurrence, authors are subject to the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
4.    If any breach of publication ethics is detected at the beginning, during the editorial process or after publication, the Journal will take the necessary corrective measures based on the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/) and the Council of Science Editors (CSE) (https://www. councilscienceeditors.org/), which may include rejection or retraction of the article, prohibition of publication of future articles by all authors in the Journal, notification of other journals, as well as communication to the respective authorities (institution of origin, institution that financed the study, professional associations and ethics committees).
5.    Contributors are responsible for the authorship of the articles submitted to the Journal and declare that they are original, and that there is no conflict of interest with third parties or institutions.
6.    Contributors who commit plagiarism (any total or partial reproduction of content that is not cited) will not be allowed to publish again in Sanitas. Revista arbitrada de ciencias de la salud, for a period of 6 years. 
7.    The article may not be submitted to different journals while it is being refereed in the Journal.
8.    If an article submitted to Sanitas. Revista Arbitrada de Ciencias de la Salud, appears published in another journal, the collaborator or collaborators will be notified of the exclusion of said article and will not be able to submit articles for a period of 6 years in the journal.
