Open Access Policy

Ola Financiera provides free and immediate access to its content and makes research available to the general public free of charge to support a greater exchange of global knowledge through its declaration of

Open Access

Open Access (OA) is a way to share information, usually scientific research results, without any cost or restriction for the user. It is an international movement in which the author or owner of the rights of the work authorizes free access to use, distribute, copy and transmit the work publicly in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to due attribution of authorship, as well as the right to make a small number of hard copies for personal use (Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing). This movement is based on the Declarations of Budapest (2002), Bethesda (2003) and Berlin (2003).

Open Access at UNAM

In the university sphere, various initiatives have been implemented since the decade of the nineties. In 2006 UNAM adhered to the Berlin Declaration. Starting in 2011, Toda la UNAM en línea (All UNAM online) program was launched, which “promotes Open Access and free, online consultation of digital content, the product of academic, scientific research and cultural activities developed at the UNAM, published by the academic entities and university dependencies, as well as the resources of which the UNAM is the depository and has the patrimonial rights or with the express authorization of the authors” (Gaceta UNAM, August 30, 2014).

Ola Financiera adheres to the Agreement establishing the General Guidelines for the Open Access Policy of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (published in Gaceta UNAM, September 10, 2015).

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement (PEPMS)

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement (PEPMS)

Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas. The prevention of publication malpractice is one of the important responsibilities of the editorial board. The journal will not consider any paper which is ethically unacceptable. (The guidelines are based on Elsevier policies and COPE‟s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors). We have great respect and we generally follow the guidelines, given by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE); Core Practices; and the Guidelines on Good Publication Practice for any publication disputes, authorship disputes, etc. For these kinds of disputes, we generally visit and follow the COPE website and author(s) are also requested to do so. Excellent guidelines, related to COPE’s Code of Conduct and its advice to tackle cases of suspected misconduct, are available in this link (http://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts).

Plagiarism

The Editorial Board of our journal will immediately screen all articles submitted for publication in that journal. Plagiarism is not limited to the Results and Discussion sections; it can involve any part of the manuscript, including figures and tables, in which material is copied from another publication without attestation, reference, or permission. Note that wording does not have to be exact to be copyright infringement; use of very similar words in almost the same sequence can also be infringement. Any suspected misconduct ends up with a quick rejection. Ola Financiera uses iThenticate to detect similarity of texts and avoid risk of plagiarism.

Redundant or duplicate publication

Duplicate or redundant publication is a publication that overlaps substantially with one already published, in press, or in an electronic media submission.

Duplicate or redundant submission is the same manuscript (or the same data) that is submitted to different journals at the same time. International copyright laws, ethical conduct, and cost effective use of resources require that readers can be assured that what they are reading is original.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published or currently submitted elsewhere. Duplicate publication is a violation of the APA code of ethics (APA Publication Manual, 2010) and will be grounds for prompt rejection of the submitted manuscript. If the editor was not aware of the violation and the article has been published, a notice of duplicate submission and the ethical violation will be published.

Publication decisions

The editors ensure that all submitted manuscripts being considered for publication undergo peer-review by at least two reviewers who are expert in the field. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for deciding which of the manuscripts submitted to the journal will be published, based on the validation of the work in question, its importance to researchers and readers, the reviewers’ comments, and such legal requirements as are currently in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Chief may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Copyrights

The copyrights of all papers published in this journal are retained by the respective authors as per the 'Creative Commons Attribution License'. The author(s) should be the sole author(s) of the article and should have full authority to enter into agreement and in granting rights to Publication, which are not in breach of any other obligation. The author(s) should ensure the integrity of the paper and related works. Authors should mandatorily ensure that submission of manuscript to Publication would result into no breach of contract or of confidence or of commitment given to secrecy.

Journal History

Ola Financiera was born with the aim of expanding the scientific research and dissemination of issues of contemporary financial economics. This is an academic effort backed by a large group of university researchers whose career in the analysis of these issues goes back more than three decades.

Although the topics examined in the journal are diverse and complex, the university reserchers supporting this venture have found an enthusiastic reception among Ola Financiera's readership. The journal is a joint effort between the Faculty of Economics and the Institute of Economic Research at the UNAM, the product of years of dedication to the research and teaching and dissemination in financial economics. This project seeks to maintain the excellence and originality of the work published, and we therefore invite researchers, whether professors or graduate students, to send their contributions.
