Gorteria Journal is committed to meeting high standards of ethical conduct at all stages of the publication process. In our ethical standards and procedures, we set out general expectations for authors, editors, reviewers, publishers and social partners.
Gorteria Journal guarantees at all times the confidentiality of the evaluation process: the anonymity of the reviewers and the authors, the content evaluated, the rationale report issued by the reviewers and any other communication issued by the editorial and advisory boards. Also, the confidentiality will be maintained before any clarifications or complaints that an author wishes to send to the committees of the journal or to the evaluators of the article.
Gorteria Journal will take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, for retracting or correcting articles when needed.
Gorteria Journal declares its commitment for the respect and integrity of the works already published. For this reason, plagiarism is strictly prohibited in Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Research and texts that are identified as plagiarism or its content are fraudulent will be removed from the journal if they have already been published or will not be published.
Gorteria Journal will act, in these cases, as quickly as possible. By accepting the terms and agreements expressed by Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Research, authors must ensure that the article or review and the materials associated with them are original or do not infringe copyright.
The authors also have to justify that, in case of a shared authorship, there was a full consensus of all the authors affected and that the article or book review has not been previously presented or published in other journals.
In the event that Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Research are made aware of any allegation of research misconduct, these allegations would be treated accordingly.
Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Research will be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies whenever needed.
In no case Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Research or its editors shall encourage such misconduct, or knowingly allow such misconduct to take place.
Article Withdrawal
Articles in Press (articles that have been accepted for publication but which have not been formally published) that include errors, or are discovered to be accidental duplicates of other published article(s), or are determined to violate our journal publishing ethics guidelines in the view of the editors (such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like), may be withdrawn from Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Research.
Article Retraction
In case of infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like. A retraction note titled “Retraction: [article title]” signed by the authors and/or the editor is published in the paginated part of a subsequent issue of the journal and listed in the contents list with a link to the original article. The original article is preceded by a screen containing the retraction note and carries a watermark on the .pdf indicating on each page that it is “retracted.”
Article Replacement
In cases where the article, if acted upon, might pose a serious health risk, the authors of the original article may wish to retract the flawed original and replace it with a corrected version. In these circumstances the procedures for retraction will be followed with the difference that the database retraction notice will publish a link to the corrected re-published article and a history of the document.
For further guidance of publication ethics, we adhere to the International Standards for editors and authors published by the Committee on Publication Ethics specified for each role participating in the publication process:
Authors

- Researchers should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original, is not plagiarized, and has not been published elsewhere.
- Authors should take collective responsibility for submitted and published work.
- The authorship of research publications should accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
- Funding sources and relevant conflicts of interest should be disclosed.
Peer Reviewers
Only agree to review manuscripts for which they have the subject expertise required to carry out a proper assessment and which they can assess in a timely manner.
Respect the confidentiality of peer review and not reveal any details of a manuscript or its review, during or after the peer-review process, beyond those that are released by the journal.
