Ethics in Publication

For researchers, authors, editors and reviewers, in addition to ethical precepts, standards of conduct are applied that derive from the specific purpose of their profession: the construction, dissemination and collective appropriation of science. These standards define the ethical integrity of scientific activities and can be deduced from a fundamental principle: every scientist must exercise their profession in the most appropriate way to result in the advancement and socialization of science in a public way.

Revista Katálysis is convinced that the combined efforts of researchers, research institutions, authors, editors and reviewers will be successful in maintaining the dissemination of scientific research in accordance with the standards of ethical integrity.
