Likewise, Económicas CUC frames its procedures in a strict peer review process in a double-blind format. double-blind as stated by ELSEVIER, likewise, it does not accept papers that have been previously published, submitted simultaneously to other journals, that present redundant data or information or any indication of malpractice in the research work, therefore, it rigorously adjusts to the appropriation of what is established by the code of ethics of COPE to which we are attached: Publication ethics and ethical violations.also ELSEVIER: Publishing Ethics Resource Kit for editors and the The Singapore Declaration on Research Integrity, these guidelines are expanded in the ETHICS AND ETHICS POLICY section.These guidelines are expanded upon in the section on ETHICS POLICY AND TREATMENT OF MALPRACTICE. 

The editors, the Editorial and/or Scientific Committee of Económicas CUC, the Universidad de la Costa and EDUCOSTA are not responsible for the opinions expressed by the authors. In turn, authors must strictly comply with the ethical policies and editorial standards for the publication of their work. 

Económicas CUC reserves the rights of printing, total or partial reproduction of the material, as well as the right of acceptance or rejection of the corresponding article.

On academic inbreeding 

In order to comply with international standards for high-impact journals, Económicas CUC may publish up to 10% per year of manuscripts and authors belonging to the publishing institution, or related to research projects led by academics from the same institution. 

This percentage is calculated on the basis of the total number of authors in the journal for each volume. Once this percentage has been reached, the manuscripts will be included in a bank of articles for possible selection in subsequent issues in chronological order according to the date of acceptance. 

Likewise, in order to avoid inbreeding among authors from outside the publishing institution and to avoid bad practices in scientific publication, as well as to promote open access to knowledge and the principle of transparency in editorial matters, all authors -regardless of their origin- must wait at least one semester to resubmit a manuscript for possible publication; the above, with the exception of "Letters to the Editor" due to their special nature.
