Spanish term or phrase: sancionando la fiabilidad
This is from a study on teachers' perceptions of competence-based curricula. I have never seen "sancionar" used in this context: As you can see, just from this short section, the article is a little messy.

En un primer análisis se descartaron 14 de los ítems iniciales que formaban parte del cuestionario. Catorce de estos ítems fueron eliminados por presentar niveles bajos de fiabilidad con cargas factoriales inferiores a .5, sancionando la fiabilidad de la escala. Con los 23 ítems restantes se realizó un nuevo análisis factorial exploratorio que dio como resultado una agrupación de ítems en cinco factores
