Similarity detection

The engineering Perfiles de Ingeniería team verifies the originality of the published articles and has an anti-plagiarism policy that ensures that all research works are unpublished. In this sense, it uses the Turnitin software, which allows checking for inappropriate citations or plagiarism by comparing it with one of the largest academic databases in the world, in order to guarantee transparency in the information and the originality of all manuscripts. This obliges the author to examine his manuscript in detail, in order to avoid plagiarism and strengthen academic integrity.
