The editorial committee of Explorador Digital is committed to high standards of ethics and good practices in the dissemination and transfer of knowledge, to guarantee rigor and scientific quality. That is why it has adopted as a reference the code of conduct for editors of scientific journals, which has been established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE: Committee on Publication Ethics ) among which stands out:

General obligations and responsibilities of the editorial team
As the top managers of the magazine, the editorial committee of Explorador Digital undertakes to:

• Join efforts to satisfy the needs of readers and authors.
• Strive for the continuous improvement of the magazine.
• Ensure the quality of the material that is published.
• Ensure freedom of expression.
• Maintain the academic integrity of its content.
• Prevent commercial interests from compromising intellectual criteria.
• Publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary.

Relations with authors
Explorador Digital is committed to ensuring the quality of the material it publishes, informing about the objectives and standards of the magazine. The editor's decisions to accept or reject a document for publication are based solely on the relevance of the work, its originality and the relevance of the study in relation to the editorial line of the journal.

The magazine includes a description of the processes followed in the peer evaluation of each work received. It has a manuscript submission manual for authors in which this information is presented and updated regularly. The right of authors to appeal editorial decisions is recognized.

The editor will not modify its decision in accepting submissions, unless irregularities or extraordinary situations are detected. Any change in the members of the editorial committee will not affect the decisions already made, except in exceptional cases in which serious circumstances come together.

Relations with evaluators
Explorador Digital makes available to evaluators a manual for evaluating manuscripts about what is expected of them. The identity of the evaluators is protected at all times, guaranteeing their anonymity.

Peer evaluation process
Explorador Digital guarantees that the material submitted for publication will be considered reserved and confidential matter while it is evaluated (double blind).

Complaints
Explorador Digital undertakes to respond quickly to complaints received and to ensure that dissatisfied complainants can process all their complaints. In any case, if the interested parties are unable to satisfy their claims, it is considered that they have the right to raise their protests to other bodies.

Promotion of academic integrity
Explorador Digital ensures that the material it publishes complies with internationally accepted ethical standards.

Protection of individual data
Explorador Digital guarantees the confidentiality of individual information (for example, of teachers and/or students participating as collaborators or study subjects in the research presented).

Monitoring of bad practices
Explorador Digital assumes its obligation to act accordingly in case of suspicion of bad practices or inappropriate conduct. This obligation extends to both published and unpublished documents. Not only will the editor reject manuscripts that raise questions about possible misconduct, but they consider themselves ethically obligated to report alleged cases of misconduct. The journal will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the works submitted for evaluation are rigorous and ethically appropriate.

Integrity and academic rigor
Whenever it is known that any published work contains significant inaccuracies, misleading or distorted statements, it must be corrected immediately.

If any work is detected whose content is fraudulent, it will be removed as soon as it is known, immediately informing both the readers and the indexing systems.

Relations with magazine owners and editors
The relationship between editors, publishers and owners will be subject to the principle of editorial independence. Explorador Digital will always ensure that articles are published based on their quality and suitability for readers, and not with a view to economic or political benefit. In this sense, the fact that the magazine is not governed by economic interests, and defends the ideal of free access to universal and free knowledge, facilitates this independence.

Conflict of interest
Explorador Digital will establish the necessary mechanisms to avoid or resolve possible conflicts of interest between authors, evaluators and/or the editorial team itself.

Complaints/complaints
Any author, reader, evaluator or editor can send their complaints to the competent bodies.
