Ethical standards and best practice guidelines during editing:

kult-ur is committed to ethical principles and best practice guidelines, developed from COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Responsibility for published manuscripts ultimately rests with kult-ur’s management and editorial team. The reports of the Review Team are decisive, but not binding, in this decision.

No member of the journal’s staff will disclose information about a manuscript received to anyone who is not directly involved in the editorial process, i.e. authors, potential reviewers or other publishers.

Any person connected with kult-ur who has access to unpublished papers submitted to the journal will not use any content from that original manuscript in their own research. In any case, the express authorisation and consent of the authors is required.

kult-ur rejects any practice of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, falsification and fraudulent use of data. It also assumes responsibility for each of the processes, from the reception of the text to its final publication. kult-ur uses the plagiarism and self-plagiarism detection software Oxsico managed through the Universitat Jaume I Library Service.

​The journal also reminds authors that authorship is linked to compliance with the principles established in the good practice guides of the Vancouver standards, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies (CGPID) of the Universitat Jaume I.
