Digital preservation policy

The REVZA retains all the documents it publishes; in addition, the Editorial Fund of the UNSM supports and protects the content of the website.
See the jorunal's LOCKSS Publishing Manifest page.
Self-archiving policy
We do not allow publishing a manuscript (pre-print) submitted for publication in the journal prior to its evaluation and acceptance. Once the publication of a manuscript is accepted, we allow and encourage the author to electronically disseminate the evaluated and accepted version (post-print) on their personal website or in an institutional repository with the reference to its "acceptance in the journal" indicating the volume and number in which we will publish. When we publish the article, the author must replace the text with the final version available in PDF format on the journal page. There is no embargo period, the author is free to publicly release the PDF file by any means immediately after we publish the article.
Plagiarism policy
The REVZA uses the specialized application Turnitin for plagiarism detection. The texts received will be subject to review before sending them for editorial and academic opinion. Articles must be at least 80% original. That is, that at least 80% of the information is original in the field of knowledge, regardless of what is cited and duly referred to.
If we detect or identify a possible plagiarism of a previously published text, the consequences range from a warning if the case is an error or misunderstanding, to the rejection of the article and the complaint before the institutions to which the author or authors belong.
