The Multidisciplinary Scientific Journal RECIMA21 adopts strict ethical standards in scientific publishing, committing to the integrity, originality, and transparency of the works published.
All manuscripts submitted to the journal are subject to similarity verification using a specialized tool (CopySpider), with the aim of identifying potential cases of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or improper use of third-party content. This analysis is carried out in the initial stages of the editorial process and may be repeated after revisions, when necessary.
RECIMA21 considers plagiarism to be the total or partial reproduction of texts, ideas, data, images, or any other content without proper citation of the original source. Self-plagiarism is also considered the significant reuse of content previously published by the same author without proper acknowledgment.
If high similarity indexes or indications of academic misconduct are identified, the manuscript may be immediately rejected or returned to the authors for clarification and correction. In more serious cases, the journal may take additional measures, including notifying the relevant institutions.
By submitting their work, authors declare that the content is original, unpublished (except for properly disclosed preprints), and that all sources used have been correctly cited.
RECIMA21 emphasizes that responsibility for the originality of the content lies entirely with the authors, and similarity checking is a supporting step for editorial quality and scientific ethics.
This policy aims to ensure the credibility of the journal, the trust of the academic community, and compliance with international best practices in scientific publishing.
