Policies
The criteria Universitia Publishing House uses to receive, review and disseminate a work.
Universitia Publishing House promotes the dissemination of scientific, academic, technical and cultural knowledge through books of high editorial and academic quality. It encourages interdisciplinary production, open access and the internationalization of works.
Works must be original, unpublished and aligned with the imprint’s lines of work.
Authors warrant that the manuscript is original and does not infringe copyright or ethical standards. The publisher rejects plagiarism, undeclared self-plagiarism, data manipulation, falsification and the misuse of protected content. Manuscripts may be run through a similarity-checking tool before the editorial process.
Each manuscript receives a preliminary editorial review by two subject experts, as blind reviewers, covering relevance, academic quality, structure, standards and feasibility. When the work requires it, it proceeds to double-blind peer review.
Authors retain their moral rights. By accepting publication, they authorize Universitia Publishing House to edit, reproduce, distribute and disseminate the work in print and digital formats. Open access may use one of the following licenses, as agreed:
Digital publications can be read and downloaded free of charge.
Authors are responsible for the content, opinions, results and references. They must cite correctly, comply with ethical standards, hold permission for images or third-party material and credit the actual participation of all co-authors.
The publisher may request corrections before publication. In the case of proven serious ethical misconduct, the work may be partially or fully withdrawn from the catalog.
Universitia Publishing House keeps backup copies so that electronic publications remain available.
The imprint maintains standards geared toward research and scientific production in diverse regions and contexts, with publications of academic, educational and social impact.
