Editorial policies

Open access policy

The RCEYT is an Open Access publication, it distributes its content under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0); edited by the Editorial Fund in collaboration with the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and the Faculty of Agroindustrial Engineering with funding from the Research and Development Institute of the National University of San Martín.

In this line, the RCEYT does not charge authors for publishing or users for consulting their articles.

The RAA joins the Budapest Open Access Initiative in November 2004.

Authors who publish in the RCEYT accept the following conditions:

All articles published in the RCEYT are published in Open Access and are freely available online immediately after publication.

Digital preservation policy

This journal uses the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archive among participating libraries, allowing those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration purposes.

The RCEYT 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 RCEYT 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.
