The Revista de Geografía Agrícola routinely examines all article submissions for possible plagiarism. To carry out this task, a specialized tool called iThenticate is used. iThenticate is a similarity detection software that compares the text of the submitted article with a large database that includes academic papers, research and other relevant content.

This plagiarism checking process is essential to maintain high ethical and academic standards in the publication of articles. Early detection of plagiarism helps to ensure the originality and integrity of papers published in the journal, thus promoting the credibility and reliability of the scholarly research presented.

The use of iThenticate facilitates the identification of similarities not only with existing publications, but also with unpublished work and online content. This proactive approach ensures that authors are aware of any overlaps and provides the opportunity to correct or properly cite sources prior to publication of the article. This process contributes to maintaining the quality and originality of the content published in the journal, strengthening the integrity of academic research.
