Política sobre plagio

Córima, Journal of Research in Cultural Management, only considers for evaluation original, unpublished manuscripts that are not simultaneously submitted to another journal. The journal verifies the originality of texts before sending them for academic review using a similarity detection tool approved by the Editorial Board.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is understood as the total or partial presentation of ideas, data, texts, images, tables, figures, or any other material belonging to others as one’s own, without proper attribution. It is also considered unethical to reuse previously published material by the same author(s) without adequate citation or clear academic justification, when such reuse affects the originality of the manuscript.

Scope of Similarity Review

Similarity verification is carried out using the iThenticate tool as editorial support and does not replace human evaluation. References, properly marked quotations, standardized methodological fragments, and common disciplinary expressions are excluded when appropriate, provided they do not compromise the integrity of the text.

The journal does not apply a mechanical similarity percentage. Editorial decisions consider the extent of overlap, its location within the manuscript, the nature of the coinciding content, and whether proper citation is present. However, high similarity (greater than 20%) may trigger additional editorial review. In such cases, the editorial team may request clarifications, require a corrected version, or reject the manuscript if extensive, repeated, or unjustified overlaps are identified.

High textual similarity does not automatically imply plagiarism; however, it requires careful editorial review to determine whether coincidences are justified or whether there is inappropriate use of external or previously published material.

Text Recycling and Self-Plagiarism

Text recycling, also known as self-plagiarism, occurs when the same author(s) reuse substantial portions of previous work without proper reference or clear academic justification. Córima does not accept redundant or duplicate publications, nor minimally modified versions of works already published elsewhere.

Limited and justified overlaps may be admitted, for example in the description of methods, regulatory frameworks, or technical definitions, provided they are properly cited and do not affect the substantive originality of the manuscript.

Third-Party Material

Authors are responsible for obtaining authorization to reproduce images, tables, figures, extensive textual fragments, or any other material owned by third parties. Permission to use such material does not exempt authors from the obligation to correctly cite the original source.

Editorial Procedure

If the similarity review detects possible improper overlaps, the editorial team may request clarifications, require a corrected version, or reject the manuscript before academic review. In serious cases of plagiarism, redundant publication, or misappropriation of content, the manuscript will be rejected.

If such irregularities are detected after publication, the journal may issue a correction, an editorial note, or a retraction, depending on the severity of the case.

Author Responsibility

Authors must ensure that the manuscript is original, that all sources are correctly attributed, and that any reuse of their own or others’ content is clearly identified. Failure to cite, misleading attribution, or unauthorized reproduction of content constitutes violations of this policy.

Journal Criteria

Córima understands originality as an essential principle of academic integrity and editorial quality. Therefore, each case is evaluated contextually, considering both textual overlap and the academic meaning of the manuscript, as well as its effective contribution to the field of Cultural Management.
