Compromisos de los Editores

Publication decisions The Editor of the @limentech Journal, Food Science and Technology, (peer-reviewed) and the Editorial Committee, are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. Approval of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers are part of these decisions. The Editor is guided by the policies of the journal's Editorial Council, adhering to current legal aspects regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor may seek support from other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair play An Editor must evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality The Editor and any editorial team must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other corresponding editorial advisors, and the editor, if appropriate.

Disclosure of conflicts of interest Unpublished materials disclosed in a manuscript submitted for publication in the journal must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal benefit. Editors must not adjudicate on a paper if they believe the document may generate conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the journals.

Participation and cooperation in investigations The editor must respond when complaints arise regarding a published article claiming respective credit. Such measures will be communicated promptly to the article's author, and due process will be applied to the request. Additionally, relevant communications will be issued to competent institutions and research bodies, and if the complaint is upheld, the publication must issue a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note that may be relevant to clarify the situation. Each identified act of unethical behavior in publication will be examined, even if discovered years after publication.
