Authorship and contribution

When the work is presented, the author(s) must clearly indicate who has contributed intellectually to the article, that is, who has participated in the conception and realisation of the work, in the writing of the text and its possible revisions, or approving the final version sent to the journal for peer review. Likewise, they must qualify those who have contributed to its elaboration in a secondary or incidental way. Having contributed to the collection of data or participated in the application of a methodology will not, by itself, be considered sufficient reasons or criteria to be considered an author. Notwithstanding that, and considering their contribution, they may be mentioned in the acknowledgements of the work.

In the case of incorporating new authors into a work already submitted, the original author and the new one will be asked to explain why the person(s) incorporated as the author(s) was not previously identified in the original submission.

In the case of withdrawal of author(s), a clarification will be requested which (via e-mail including all the interested parties) will exhaustively indicate the reasons why the person(s) was (were) originally incorporated as the author(s), in addition to the express consent of the person(s) who was originally identified as the author(s). The withdrawal of an author may be made up to 1 month after the publication of the work. After this period, no changes can be made to the authorship of a contribution.

Similarly, the original version of the article will be stored on the journal's platform, together with the second version, and a correction note will be published indicating the arguments of the author and the editorial committee that led to the modification.

Recommended good practices:

1. Clear and precise identification of the roles that each of the different participants will play in the development of the research.

2. Bear in mind the possibility of thanking people who have collaborated or participated in the research, as long as their secondary or incidental contribution is clearly identified. The organisations or institutions that contributed financially to the development of the research should also be included.

3. In cases where the incorporation of other researchers is deemed necessary, the Drafting Committee should be informed so that it may resolve as appropriate. To this end, a letter should be sent to revistaderecho@ucn.cl with a copy to all the authors of the publication, requesting the incorporation of a new researcher, which should be signed by the researcher(s) already included in the work, as well as by the new researcher(s) whose authorship is incorporated into the work. Likewise, the reason why the new researcher(s) was(were) not incorporated into the work at the moment of the presentation of the work to the Revista de Derecho (Coquimbo. En línea) must be explained. Consider that both a copy of the application and the resolution will be stored in the OJS platform.

4. Knowledge of the relevant intellectual property protection rules, and the consequences of their infringement.

5. Digital identification of every author of the submission through an ORCID number.
