Synopsis

This work contains some of the papers accepted for presentation at the 4th National and 2nd Ibero-American Congress of Scientific Journals (CNIRC), originally scheduled to take place at the facilities of the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes (UAA) from March 18 to 20, 2020, organized in conjunction with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). At that time, and thanks to the efforts undertaken by the Editorial Department of the UAA, attached to the General Directorate of Dissemination and Linkage, individuals involved in the processes of editing scientific journals were invited, including not only editors or researchers but also knowledge disseminators, librarians, students, and collaborators of repositories or indexing systems of academic periodical publications, with the aim of bringing them together in an international event whose objective was to serve as a space for discussion and reflection on the challenges faced by research-producing institutions in light of the demands of Open Science and Open Access, as well as for proposing ideas and sharing experiences to improve the visibility of Ibero-American journals and their social impact.
Thus, the main goal of the Congress was to review the current ideology of Open Science in other regions to define action strategies that would empower the actors involved in its improvement, obviously starting from the detection of the strengths and weaknesses of the policies established in this regard. As if that weren't enough, this academic symposium also directed its efforts towards the aforementioned with another, more practical than theoretical intention, namely: to achieve the articulation of regional and national proposals that would help confront the past and future challenges hindering progress in the field of academic journal publishing, aiming to foster debate and analysis to contribute to international publications, taking into account the demands of contemporary society. Hence the title given to the meeting, which serves as the basis for the name of the book the reader receives: "The Editing of Ibero-American Academic Journals: A Framework for Open Science."

The topics included in the book revolve around at least five discursive axes according to the contents of each of the twenty chapters that can be read: 1) useful tools for improving the dissemination of what is published by scientific journals and increasing their quality; 2) relevance, results, and importance of multi- and interdisciplinary collaboration within institutions and/or groups in the editing of academic periodicals, specifically among repositories, libraries, administrative areas, editorial departments, research hubs, technical staff, and students; 3) particular experiences and challenges identified regarding the digitization of journals and the work of those responsible for them; 4) the state of governmental systems for scientific evaluation and their dialogue with academic editorial practice, as well as the internal arbitration processes within it and the proposal of solutions to avoid violations of research ethics in the reception of papers; and, finally, 5) copyright and its correspondence with appropriate Open Access to science.
