Ethical code
Panta Rei: Journal of History and History Teaching is based on the work carried out by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Association of Open Access Scholarly Publishers (OASPA), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) to identify transparency principles and best practices for scholarly journals and establish its code of ethics.
1. Website: Our journal's website aims to reflect the work carried out in its editorial management, seeking the best possible selection of the manuscripts we receive and avoiding information that could mislead readers and authors. Our website includes a statement of aims and scope and clearly defines the intended audience and main subjects of interest. The print and electronic ISSNs are clearly and easily displayed in the website header.
2. Journal name: Panta Rei: Journal of History and Didactics of History is a unique name, sufficiently recognized by the international scientific community, and does not cause confusion with that of another journal.
3. Peer review process: The manuscript selection and evaluation system used is double-blind peer review. This system follows the standard processes for publishing serial scientific publications. Each article received in the doctrine section is reviewed by two reviewers, guaranteeing the anonymity of both authors and reviewers. This process is clearly described on the website and in the journal's manuscript submission process, and short review and editing times are not guaranteed at any time.
4. Ownership and Management: The ownership of the property rights to the published content belongs to the Publications Service of the University of Murcia, as indicated in the Privacy and Intellectual Property section of the journal's website.
5. Governing Body: Panta Rei has an editorial team composed of an Editorial Board, comprised of an Editorial Board and an Advisory Board composed of recognized national and international experts in the topics covered by the publication. At all times, efforts will be made to facilitate equitable gender distribution in the governing bodies and to promote their internationalization. The full names and affiliations of the journal's editors, as well as the journal's contact address, are provided.
6. Copyright and Licenses: The copyright policy is clearly stated in the guidelines for authors and the journal's open access policy. The copyright holder will be named on all published articles. This document clearly states that authors may deposit accepted final versions or copies of published articles in third-party repositories, following the Open Science Principles.
7. Author Fees: Panta Rei is a "diamond" open access journal that charges no fees for submission and publication of papers (NO-APC), nor any fees for reading its content. Panta Rei is clearly committed to the Open Science paradigm and has signed the "Manifesto on Open Science as a Global Public Good: Non-Commercial Open Access" approved at the 2023 Toluca Summit.
8. Process for identifying and addressing allegations of research misconduct: The editorial board will take reasonable measures to identify and prevent publication of papers in which research misconduct has occurred, including plagiarism, citation manipulation, data falsification/fabrication, and inappropriate use of Artificial Intelligence in the preparation of the manuscript, among others. If we become aware of any allegations of research misconduct related to an article published in our journal, we will apply COPE guidelines to address the allegations and consider rejecting the manuscript or possibly retracting any already published article, if necessary.
9. Datasets: Panta Rei, on the path toward Open Science, is committed to the deposit of research datasets in line with all policies, mandates, and initiatives that reveal the value of research data, as well as the importance of sharing and reusing them. Therefore, it has opened a collection in DIGITUM, the institutional repository of the University of Murcia, for the deposit of datasets linked to published articles. Authors can also deposit this information in any other general or thematic repository.
10. Publication Schedule: Panta Rei clearly informs about the annual publication frequency.
