The Journal of Education and Technology Trends considers the withdrawal of articles submitted for publication, by the author, only in the following cases:

In these cases, the author(s) must write an explanatory and detailed letter of the case to the editor of the journal in which they will explain the reasons for the withdrawal request.

Code of ethics and good practices

The publication of an article previously evaluated by the selected peers of the Journal develops a scientific network committed to knowledge within the area of Social Sciences, a subarea of educational sciences. From this, the rigorous and quality work is evidenced, not only by the authors but also by the institutions they represent. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a declaration of ethics and good practices, which provides all the essential elements in the work of the different agents involved in the process of writing, receiving, editing and evaluating manuscripts: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewers, the editor and the academic community in general.

UNAD Florida, as editor of the Journal of Education and Technology Trends, aware of its responsibilities at all stages of a quality publication, declares recognition of its ethical commitments and those of its peers.
