The author or authors must sign the letter of assignment of rights once the work is accepted for publication, with which ENERGEIA becomes the holder of the exploitation rights of the contents.

 

Plagiarism Detection

What we have been doing to detect plagiarism is to consult the work (which is submitted for review) with the editors and members of the Editorial Board in cases where there may be doubts. For 2023 we will rely on platforms available on the web such as Plagiarisma.net or plagiarismdetector.net.
