Open Access and Digital Preservation Policy

Open Access Policy

This journal operates under the Diamond Open Access model and is published with an academic, multidisciplinary, and non-profit approach, with the purpose of promoting the dissemination, exchange, and strengthening of scientific knowledge across diverse fields of study.

The Diamond Open Access model guarantees that no fees are charged for submission, evaluation, processing, or publication of articles (APC). There are no hidden costs for authors or readers, thus ensuring the complete gratuity of the editorial process and access to published content.

All published content is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), which permits free, immediate, and permanent access to articles, as well as their lawful use, distribution, and reuse, provided that proper credit is given to the author(s) and the original source of publication.

Digital Preservation Policy

In order to ensure the long-term preservation, integrity, accessibility, and availability of published scientific content, the journal adopts a formal digital preservation policy aligned with international standards and editorial best practices.

The journal implements the following preservation strategies:

Periodic backup of servers and editorial files in order to prevent data loss.
Continuous updating of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to prevent technological obsolescence and facilitate future migration processes.
Assignment of Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to all published articles, ensuring persistent identification, citability, and academic traceability.
Storage of content in multiple digital formats (PDF, HTML, and XML-JATS), promoting interoperability, open access, and long-term digital preservation.

Additionally, the journal participates in international distributed digital preservation networks such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), CLOCKSS, and the PKP (Public Knowledge Project) Preservation Network, which enable decentralized storage of content in collaborating libraries and ensure recovery in the event of technical failures or loss of information on the original servers.
