Anti-plagiarism policy

All documents submitted for potential publication will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin or Unicheck software, depending on institutional availability. The editor is responsible for this process and will manually address any issues identified by the software. For an article to be accepted, it must have a plagiarism score of less than 20% after this check. Citations and direct quotations will be reviewed to ensure they conform to APA 7th edition guidelines.

If the editor identifies issues with articles that have a plagiarism score of less than 20%, these will be returned to the authors for revision.

After this process is completed, the article will be assigned to peer review through a double-blind process.

The Lúmina Journal adheres to the plagiarism guidelines published by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

Regarding the use of artificial intelligence tools in the production, review, or submission of academic manuscripts, the journal endorses the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) position on authorship and artificial intelligence (Committee on Publication Ethics [COPE], 2023), which states that artificial intelligence tools cannot be recognized as authors, as they do not meet the requirements of authorship, ethical responsibility, declaration of conflicts of interest, or copyright management. Consequently, their use must be transparently declared by the authors, who retain full responsibility for the originality, integrity, accuracy, and traceability of the content submitted for review.
