AUTORIA

La  autoría  en  las  publicaciones  científicas  es  un  tópico  que  puede  causar  dilemas  éticos  y  controversias entre colegas, aspecto que ha estado siempre presente desde sus orígenes. De hecho, al crear Philosophical Transactions  (1665),  Henry  Oldenburg  buscaba  resolver  las  disputas  de  autoría  entre  los  miembros  de  la Royal Society of London, asegurando la paternidad de los resultados de las investigaciones antes de hacerlas públicas.

Aunque no es un término unívoco, de acuerdo a Albert & Wager (2003), la autoría informa a los lectores quién escribió o hizo qué trabajo, y se debe garantizar que las personas adecuadas obtengan el crédito y puedan asumir la responsabilidad de la investigación.

Según criterios ampliamente aceptados y recomendados por el COPE (2018) y el ICMJE (2017) entre otros, la autoría es atribuible a quien:

  • Realice contribuciones sustanciales a la concepción o diseño del trabajo, o para la adquisición, análisis o interpretación de datos para el trabajo
  • Redacte el trabajo o lo revise críticamente aportando contenido intelectual importante
  • Apruebe, previa revisión, el texto final de la versión que se publicará
  • Garantice la integridad del trabajo y se responsabilice de todos los aspectos involucrados

El cumplimiento de esos criterios busca asegurar que todos quienes participaron en la publicación de un trabajo de investigación asuman la responsabilidad pública de su contenido.

De acuerdo a lo explicado por Albert & Wager (2003), las personas faltan a la verdad sobre la autoría cuando:

  • Incluyen nombres de quienes tuvieron escasa o ninguna participación en la investigación, y 2) dejan fuera a personas que participaron en la investigación. Para evitarlo, es recomendable establecer políticas sobre contribuciones, de modo que se publique información sobre el aporte exacto de cada participante (ICMJE, 2017). Es responsabilidad de los autores reconocer la contribución de las personas que han participado en un artículo sin ser autores.

El ICMJE recomienda adoptar las siguientes políticas con relación a los autores:

  • Adoptar criterios claros de autoría y explicarlos en las instrucciones para los autores
  • Exigir a los autores correspondientes que confirmen que todos cumplen los criterios exigidos por la revista sobre autoría, y que nadie fue omitido
  • Solicitar que los autores proporcionen una breve descripción de sus contribuciones
  • Incluir a quienes no cumplan con los criterios de autoría en una sección de agradecimientos
  • El autor correspondiente debe confirmar por escrito que todos los coautores concuerdan en la publicación del artículo
  • Exigir una confirmación que todos los coautores concuerdan en el orden de sus respectivos nombres
  • El autor correspondiente debe garantizar que se han cumplido todos los requisitos de la revista: detalles de autoría, aprobación del comité de ética, firma de consentimiento informado, documentación de registro de ensayos clínicos, documentos y declaraciones sobre conflicto de intereses
  • Enviar copias de toda correspondencia tanto al autor correspondiente como al resto de los autores
  • Solicitar que los autores proporcionen la forma correcta de sus nombres, para eliminar confusiones posteriores

Proceso de evaluación por pares

El proceso de evaluación de propuestas se realiza de manera confidencial bajo el sistema double blind peer review (doble arbitraje ciego), previa evaluación inicial por parte del Comité Técnico/Editorial.

Los autores deben registrarse y hacer el envío de sus propuestas a través del sistema de la revista (OJS), que facilita la imparcialidad y objetividad de la evaluación. El Comité Técnico/Editorial confirmará la oportunidad de los documentos recibidos y los asignará a un/a editor/a o equipo de editores/as por número. Las propuestas deberán responder a una llamada a la colaboración o Call for Papers, que se publican habitualmente durante los meses de mayo-junio y octubre-noviembre.

Los autores deberán hacer sus envíos de acuerdo con las políticas editoriales y siguiendo las directrices para autores que pueden ser consultadas en Política Editorial. El envío de originales requerirá la declaración, por parte del autor, de que su propuesta es original e inédita y que no se encuentra en ningún otro proceso de evaluación. Al realizar un envío, el autor/a asiente con el Aviso de Derechos de Autor/a. 

Los autores/as recibirán un correo electrónico de confirmación de su envío y una respuesta a su propuesta en el plazo de un mes a partir del cierre de la convocatoria. En este plazo, dos revisores, preferentemente externos, con experiencia en el área temática, dictaminarán la propuesta, evaluando:

  1. Su idoneidad temática, 
  2. La pertinencia y claridad del título, resumen y palabras clave, 
  3. El planteamiento del contenido y/o desarrollo de la argumentación, 
  4. La relevancia y/o originalidad de la propuesta, y 
  5. La pertinencia y oportunidad de la bibliografía, metodología y aparato crítico.

En el caso de que la recomendación de los revisores no sea concluyente, el Comité Técnico/Editorial asignará un tercer evaluador/a que le permitirá tomar una decisión definitiva. Todas las propuestas recibirán una respuesta, basada en estas evaluaciones, junto con la decisión editorial. Además, aquellas propuestas aceptadas a publicación, recibirán el calendario de revisiones y/o correcciones hasta la fecha de publicación del número.

Ciencia y Filosofía|Revista Académica no utiliza APC (Article Processing Charges) ni solicita pagos a autores/lectores por el acceso a los contenidos completos de la revista o para llevar a cabo la evaluación de sus propuestas de publicación. 

No es necesario el registro de usuarios para acceder a la totalidad de los contenidos, aunque sí para el envío de propuestas y para presentarse como revisor.

Frecuencia de publicación

Ciencia y Filosofía|Revista Académica programa dos volúmenes al año, un volumen de verano (junio-julio) y otro en invierno  (diciembre-enero). A fin de cumplir medidas más exigentes de calidad.

Entendemos por calidad editorial la normalización de las formas y de los procedimientos en la
edición de las revistas científicas para facilitar tanto su localización e identificación como la de las contribuciones que publica, otorgándole mayor credibilidad.

Las convocatorias para la presentación de propuestas se publican en mayo-junio y octubre-noviembre de cada año. 

Los autores

Se hacen responsables del contenido de su envío.

Se comprometen a informar a los directores de la revista en caso de que detecten un error relevante en uno de sus artículos publicados, para que se introduzcan las correcciones oportunas.

Garantizan que el artículo y los materiales asociados son originales y que no infringen los derechos de autor de terceros. En caso de coautoría, deben justificar que existe el consentimiento de todos los autores afectados para que la versión final del artículo se publique en Ciencia y Filosofía|Revista Académica.

Los evaluadores/revisores

Se comprometen a hacer una revisión objetiva, informada, crítica, constructiva e imparcial del artículo. La aceptación o el rechazo se basa únicamente en la relevancia del trabajo, su originalidad, el interés y el cumplimiento de las normas de estilo y de contenido indicadas en los criterios editoriales.

Respetan los plazos establecidos (si esto no fuera posible, deben comunicarlo con suficiente antelación a la dirección de la revista).

No comparten, difunden ni utilizan la información de los artículos sometidos a revisión sin el permiso correspondiente del director y/o de los autores.

Objective: what you hope to highlight.
Body of the interview (Questions and answers)

Organize it thematically, not just chronologically. Some typical sections could be:

Section

Suggested content

Academic context

Questions about training, intellectual influences, motivations.

Current research

Ongoing projects, methodology, relevant findings.

Theoretical perspectives

Opinions on epistemological currents, debates in the field.

Interdisciplinarity

Connections with other areas, collaborations.

Impact and ethics

Social applications, researcher responsibility.

You can include:

Open-ended questions that encourage thoughtful responses.
Brief interventions to clarify technical concepts if necessary.
Closing
Final reflection from the interviewee.
Recommendations for young researchers.
Comments on the future of the field.
References or notes
If key theories, authors, or works are mentioned, they can be briefly cited.
This is not common in interviews, but useful if you want to maintain rigor.
