Editorial Inbreeding Prevention Policy

With the aim of strengthening diversity, transparency, and academic openness in our publications, Nullius has adopted a clear editorial policy to prevent institutional inbreeding. According to this provision, each issue prioritizes the publication of articles by authors affiliated with institutions external to the Technical University of Manabí, establishing that at least 80% of published articles must have external affiliation. Consequently, no more than 20% of research articles per issue may have internal affiliation.

This measure ensures an equitable editorial process and promotes the participation and recognition of the national and international scientific community, reaffirming our commitment to excellence, academic plurality, and integrity in the dissemination of knowledge.
