Zusammenfassung: | One of the greatest challenges faced by the editorial boards of scientific journals is related to the detection of plagiarism in the manuscripts received. This study addresses this issue based on the perception of the members of editorial committees of 166 journals in the field of Social Sciences in the Ibero-American context indexed in Scopus. The responses were collected through a digital questionnaire, and a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the information provided was conducted. The results show that most of the journals consulted have plagiarism detection software, with numerous reasons for and against its use. Most of the articles discarded in the reception processes include self-plagiarism and covert plagiarism through paraphrasing. In cases of plagiarism, most journals reject manuscripts in the reception process, although it is noteworthy that more than 15% give authors the opportunity to correct the error and resubmit the paper. This study concludes that, despite taking preventive measures, these do not guarantee the eradication of such a problem. Keywords: editorial boards; ethics; academic integrity; plagiarism. Detectar el plagio es un desafio clave para los comites editoriales de revistas cientificas. Este estudio investiga la deteccion de plagio en 166 revistas de Ciencias Sociales Iberoamericanas indexadas en Scopus, mediante un cuestionario digital que genero datos para un analisis cuantitativo y cualitativo. Se encontro que, aunque la mayoria de las revistas utilizan software de deteccion de plagio, existen argumentos divididos sobre su eficacia. El autoplagio y el uso inadecuado de la parafrasis son las principales razones para el rechazo de manuscritos, y mientras que la mayoria de las revistas descalifica inmediatamente los manuscritos plagiados, un 15% permite a los/las autores/as corregir y reenviar sus trabajos. El estudio concluye que las medidas preventivas actuales son insuficientes para erradicar el plagio, sugiriendo la necesidad de estrategias mas efectivas para combatir esta practica en el ambito academico. Palabras clave: Comite editorial; etica; integridad academica; plagio. Um dos maiores desafios enfrentados pelas comissões editoriais das revistas cientÃficas está relacionado com a deteção de plágio nos manuscritos recebidos. Este estudo aborda esta questão com base na perceção dos membros das comissões editoriais de 166 revistas da área das Ciências Sociais no contexto ibero-americano indexadas no Scop |
