Guidelines for authors

Revista Mexicana de Física publishes manuscripts primarily in English, although submissions in Spanish are also accepted occasionally.

Submitted manuscripts must be prepared using the official template of Revista Mexicana de Física and must include:

• Title of the manuscript¹
• Abstract¹
• Full name, institutional affiliation, postal address, ORCID*, and e-mail address of the corresponding author
• Full name, institutional affiliation, postal address, ORCID*, and e-mail address of all co-authors, if applicable²
• Between one and five keywords

¹Manuscripts written in Spanish must also include the title and abstract in English.

²It is mandatory to register all co-authors at the time of submission. Any modification to the list of authors during the editorial process will require approval by the Editorial Board and must be supported by a formal justification from the corresponding author.

Policy on the use of Artificial Intelligence in research and scientific writing

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools and systems may not be listed as authors or co-authors of a manuscript, as they are unable to assume responsibility for the scientific content, data integrity, conflict-of-interest disclosures, copyright obligations, or compliance with the ethical and legal principles associated with academic authorship.

Sociedad Mexicana de Física permits the limited use of artificial intelligence tools exclusively as auxiliary support for spelling correction, grammatical revision, language editing, or improvement of writing style, provided that such use does not involve the substantial generation of scientific content, results, interpretations, analyses, discussions, or conclusions.

The use of artificial intelligence tools is strictly prohibited for:

• generating scientific manuscripts totally or partially;
• producing scientific results, interpretations, discussions, or conclusions;
• create, modifying, manipulating, or misrepresenting data, images, figures, or scientific evidence;
• generating fictitious, nonexistent, or unverifiable bibliographic references;
• replacing the critical interpretation, scientific analysis, intellectual contribution, or ethical responsibility of the authors.

Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and validity of all submitted material, regardless of whether automated linguistic or editorial support tools were used during manuscript preparation.

Whenever artificial intelligence tools have been used to assist in the linguistic or editorial preparation of a manuscript, authors must explicitly disclose such use, specifying both the tool employed and the precise purpose for which it was used.

The editorial team reserves the right to request additional information or clarifications concerning the use of artificial intelligence at any stage of the editorial process. Undeclared, misleading, inappropriate, or unethical use of artificial intelligence tools, contrary to accepted standards of scientific integrity and editorial ethics, may result in rejection of the manuscript or, in the case of published articles, the issuance of corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, or article withdrawal.

Sociedad Mexicana de Física will maintain this policy under continuous review in light of technological developments, international discussions on publication ethics, and recommendations issued by organizations specialized in scholarly publishing and research integrity.
