Publication Ethics

Latin American Psychology adheres to the ethical guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics. The editorial board ensures a fair and rigorous single-blind peer review process, maintaining confidentiality and making objective publication decisions based solely on academic merit. Authors must guarantee their submitted work is original, has not been published elsewhere, and appropriately cites all sources. Plagiarism, data falsification, and redundant publication are strictly prohibited. Authors must explicitly disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest. For empirical studies involving human participants, authors must confirm that the research was approved by an appropriate ethics committee and that informed consent was obtained. Research involving animals must comply with established institutional and national ethical guidelines. In cases of suspected misconduct, the journal will follow Committee on Publication Ethics flowcharts to investigate and implement necessary actions, which may include retractions or corrections.
