Politics ethics

The journal AD-GNOSIS follows the best practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), is published annually and circulates since 2012, under the Coruniamericana university publishing label and sponsored by the Corporación Universitaria Americana, in electronic format and Open Access. It publishes its works in Spanish, English and Portuguese. It is aimed at the scientific community in administration, economics and commerce.

Following the guidelines of the COPE (Committee of Publication Ethics), the editorial team of the journal Ad-Gnosis is committed to: be responsible for everything published, try to meet the needs of readers and authors, strive to constantly improve the journal, defend freedom of expression, maintain the integrity of the academic record, always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary, and to privilege ethical and intellectual criteria above others. Therefore, in our work we will prioritize peer review and expert guidance, strengthen the academy and support initiatives designed to reduce misconduct in the publication process, as well as educate researchers about publication ethics.

In relation to the authors and taking into account the COPE guidelines, AD-GNOSIS makes clear that: the decisions of the referees to accept or reject a paper for publication should be based on its importance, originality and clarity, without ignoring the validity of the study and its relevance. The editors of the journal will not reverse decisions to accept manuscripts for publication unless there are serious problems in this regard. In addition, Ad-Gnosis makes a public description of its refereeing processes, and the editors are prepared to justify any major exceptions to these processes. In line with this, AD-GNOSIS will publish guidelines for authors outlining what is expected of them.
