Plagiarism Policy: Concordia, Revista de Administración y Educación maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data duplication, redundant publication, misappropriation of ideas, verbatim copying without proper attribution, paraphrasing without citation, source manipulation, or the unauthorized use of third-party content.

Manuscripts submitted to the journal must adhere to the following criteria:

• Originality: Submissions must be original and unpublished.
• Prior Publication: They must not have been previously published in any language.
• Exclusive Submission: They must not be under simultaneous consideration by any other journal.
• Proper Attribution: All citations, references, tables, figures, charts, images, and other supporting materials must be correctly presented and credited.
• Source Recognition: Authors must clearly acknowledge all sources of information, data, instruments, scales, theoretical models, or previously published content.
• Research Integrity: Authors must avoid the unjustified fragmentation of research into multiple articles (commonly known as "salami slicing") when such practice compromises originality or results in the duplication of findings.

Similarity Detection: All received manuscripts undergo editorial screening and may be evaluated using text-similarity detection software (e.g., Turnitin or iThenticate). The detection of overlapping text does not automatically constitute plagiarism; however, the editorial team will rigorously analyze the origin, extent, nature, and relevance of any identified matches.

Editorial Actions: If plagiarism, duplication, or the misuse of information is detected, the journal reserves the right to reject the manuscript, request formal clarification from the authors, or suspend the editorial process. If the article has already been published, the journal may issue a correction, a formal retraction, or a withdrawal of the work, depending on the severity of the infringement and following COPE guidelines.

Third-Party Rights: Authors are solely responsible for ensuring that all materials included in the manuscript, such as tables, photographs, figures, instruments, scales, databases, or appendices, have the necessary permissions and do not infringe upon any existing copyrights.
