Similarity Policy

RIDI considers plagiarism to be a serious offense and any author who makes this mistake will be permanently banned from participating in the journal. Plagiarism is the action by which segments of works by other authors are reproduced or paraphrased without the corresponding referencing or recognition. It is plagiarized when:

Fragments of other people's works are included or used in the manuscript without quotation marks or reference to the source.

It is copied and pasted, directly from other sources without reference to it or without indicating that it is a verbatim quote.

Images, tables or diagrams are included without permission and without recognition of their origin.

Plagiarism, whether consciously or not, is a serious offense that according to current Colombian legislation (the country from which the journal is published), has criminal consequences.

In summary, when a work is submitted to RIDI, it is understood that the authors guarantee that:

The work has not been previously published, nor is it in the process of being reviewed by any other physical or electronic means.

All authors guarantee to have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript.

If accepted, the manuscript may not be reproduced in another place or language without citing the original publication in RIDI.

All other provisions not expressed regarding plagiarism will be resolved based on the provisions of good practices (CORE practices), and COPE flow charts.

Likewise, RIDI will submit to a review by anti-plagiarism software all the manuscripts it receives for the publication.
