Scientific Electronic Journal

Resumen: Internet es un recurso de información esencial, cercano, rápido y democrático. La Web es para muchos el único lugar válido donde informarse y documentarse. Desde esta perspectiva, hoy deberíamos afirmar que aquello que no está en la red no existe. Si bien la afirmación es correcta, pues cada minuto que pasa se observa cómo la capacidad de difusión de este medio está ayudando a mejorar, aumentar y comprender el sentido y el significado de las cosas, Internet ha generado un efecto contradictorio. Ahora nos hemos olvidado o desdeñamos las unidades de información tradicionales (bibliotecas, archivos y centro de documentación) ricas en todo tipo de documentos.
Por todo ello, conviene advertir que el uso exclusivo de recursos web no es el método ortodoxo de trabajo, solamente se trata de un paso más a dar en la investigación o en la adquisición de conocimientos. Del mismo modo, es recomendable consultar todas las fuentes de información necesarias, allí donde se encuentren y sin despreciar soportes ni contenidos.

Palabras clave: Revista científicas. Revistas profesionales. Revistas divulgativas. Fuentes de información

Abstract: The Internet is an essential information resource, close, fast and democratic. The Web is for many the only valid place where reports and documents. From this perspective, now we should say that is what the network does not exist. While the statement is correct, because every minute you can see how the diffusing capacity of the medium is helping to improve, enhance and understand the meaning and significance of things, the Internet has created a contradictory effect. Now we have forgotten or spurn traditional information units (libraries, archives and documentation center) rich in all kinds of documents.
Therefore, it should be noted that the sole use of web resources is not the orthodox method of work, just about to take a step in the research or the acquisition of knowledge. Similarly, you should look at all sources of information needed, wherever they are and without disparaging media and content.

Presentación:

La Universidad Pedagógica Nacional presenta el catálogo de su producción editorial desde el año 2012, en el marco de un conjunto de 15 colecciones, varias coediciones y algunos títulos que sin estar articulados a colecciones específicas constituyen textos de divulgación que buscan dar a conocer los proyectos institucionales y situar en el debate público temas de atención prioritaria, como los derivados de la relación entre la educación y los retos del contexto nacional y regional actual.

Además de estos textos, se incluye la información general de nuestras 12 revistas institucionales, se anuncian los próximos títulos producto de las convocatorias internas que se proyectan desde el Grupo Interno de Trabajo Editorial y desde la Subdirección de Gestión de Proyectos-ciup, de los convenios de coedición con otros sellos editoriales y de la actividad de proyección social que se lidera desde la Subdirección de Asesorías y Extensión (sae).

Propósito: Analizar el papel del acceso abierto in el crecimiento de revistas arbitradas en América Latina (AL&C) en los ámbitos nacional, regional y global. Métodos: La información provino de dos fuentes: 1) seis importantes bases de datos/índices (OpenDOAR, DOAJ, OJS, Dialnet, SciELO y RedALyC; 2) Notas de 175 entrevistas a profundidad efectuadas entre 2008 y 2010 con editores de revistas, autoridades universitarias, personal gubernamental, agentes de organizaciones internacionales y otros expertos. Las entrevistas se realizaron en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Uruguay y Venezuela. Las bases de datos/repositorios son usadas para describir la presencia de revistas latinoamericanas por región y país. Son organizados en tablas y analizados descriptivamente. Resultados: SciELO tenía 816 revistas, 21.324 fascículos y 314.758 documentos/artículos; RedALyC tenía 758 revistas, 14.381 fascículos y 177.017 artículos. Dialnet incluía 7.168 revistas, 3.246.415 documentos y 2.230.929 artículos. 1.190 revistas (18.52%) de AL&C formaban parte de DOAJ. Colombia es el país con el segundo mayor número de revistas en RedALyC después de México y en SciELO después de Brasil. Conclusión: AL&C tiene una fuerte presencia de revistas de acceso abierto en repositorios internacionales y regionales, lo que aumenta la visibilidad de las publicaciones de la región y la posibilidad de desarrollar redes académicas. Directorios regionales como Latindex y repositorios/índices como RedALyC y SciELO han tenido un gran impacto en el desarrollo de las revistas latinoamericanas. Dos factores parecen estar apoyando el surgimiento de un modelo de publicación académica en AL&C: la publicación open Access y los repositorios e índices/bases bibliográficos regionales.

Purpose: Analyze the role of open access in the growth of Latin American (LA&C) refereed journals at the national, regional, and global levels. Methods: Data came from two sources: 1) six of the main open access databases/repositories (OpenDOAR, DOAJ, PKP’s OJS, Dialnet, SciELO, and RedALyC; 2) Notes taken during 175 in-depth semi-structured interviews that were conducted between 2008 and 2010 with journal editors, university authorities, government staff, international organization officials, and other experts. The interviews were carried out in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Findings from the databases/repositories are used to describe the presence of LA&C journals as a region and by country. They are organized in tables and analyzed descriptively. Results: SciELO had 816 journals, 21,324 issues, and 314,758 documents/articles; RedALyC had 758 journals, 14,381 issues, and 177,017 articles. Dialnet included 7,168 journals, 3,246,415 documents, and 2,230,929 articles. 1,190 journals (18.52%) from LA&C were included in DOAJ. Colombia is the country with the second highest number of journals in RedALyC after Mexico and in SciELO after Brazil. Conclusion: LA&C has a strong presence in international and regional repositories of open access journals, which increases the visibility of the region’s publications and the possibility of developing academic networks. Regional directories like Latindex and repositories/indexes such as RedALyC  and SciELO have had a major impact on the development of LA&C journals. Two factors seem to be supporting the emergence of a model of scientific/scholarly publication in LA&C: open access publication and regional repositories and databases/indexes.

Apresenta um modelo de custos baseado nas exigências das principais bases indexadoras multidisciplinares internacionais e nos serviços apresentados como proposta de internacionalização de periódicos brasileiros pelas editoras comerciais internacionais Elsevier, Emerald, Springer, Taylor and Francis e Wiley. Os objetivos específicos são: a) conhecer as principais bases multidisciplinares e seus critérios de indexação para periódicos científicos, b) identificar nos documentos apresentados pelas editoras comerciais científicas os serviços e produtos que oferecem para promover a internacionalização de periódicos, e c) elaborar uma estrutura de custos reunindo as demandas das bases de dados e os serviços oferecidos pelas editoras comerciais. A pesquisa realizada consiste numa revisão bibliográfica documental qualitativa, utilizando como termos de busca: comunicação científica, editoração científica, periódico científico, modelos de custo em conjunto com editoração científica e periódico científico, e acesso aberto. Além de livros, que tratam sobre editoração científica, e jornais, que veicularam notícias relacionadas com a editoração científica, as fontes consultadas foram as bases Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), Web of Science (WoS), Scopus e a plataforma Lattes. Para a elaboração dos resultados foi realizada uma coleta de dados a partir de documentos apresentados pela Qualis, bases indexadoras e editoras. Como resultado da consulta dos documentos Qualis por área, as principais bases multidisciplinares foram WoS, Scopus e SciELO. Foram coletadas, agrupadas e comparadas as exigências de indexação das bases e os serviços apresentados pelas editoras comerciais. Os tópicos utilizados para introduzir e contextualizar o modelo foram: a) a comunicação científica e os periódicos científicos, e b) a conjuntura editorial. O tratamento da comunicação científica enfatizou os princípios e propósitos da ciência. O periódico científico é abordado considerando sua função e propósitos dentro da comunicação científica, conceitos, estrutura, fluxo de atividades e modelos de custo. A conjuntura editorial apresenta uma breve narrativa histórica, apresentando a evolução dos aspectos que a definem - incluindo a evolução das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), a crise de preços do modelo comercial editorial tradicional, o debate entre as editoras comerciais e os segmentos que participam da produção e disseminação do conhecimento científico. A conjuntura é concluída com uma análise aprofundada da iniciativa do Acesso Aberto (AA). Conclui, com a criação de um modelo de custos, a partir dos critérios das bases indexadoras e práticas das editoras comerciais, e com uma análise deste modelo frente às tendências da conjuntura editorial e o AA.

Presents a cost model based on the requirements of the leading international multidisciplinary indexing databases and services offered as a proposal for internationalization of Brazilian journals by international commercial publishers: Elsevier, Emerald, Springer, Taylor and Francis and Wiley. The specific objectives are: a) cognize the main multidisciplinary bases and their indexing criteria for scientific journals, b) identify the documents submitted by commercial publishers scientific services and products they offer to promote the internationalization of periodicals, and c) develop a framework of costs meeting the demands of databases and services offered by commercial publishers. The research is a qualitative documentary literature review, using as search terms: scientific communication, scientific publishing, scientific journal, cost models together with scientific publishing and scientific journal, and, open access. In addition to books that deal with scientific publishing, and newspapers, which broadcasted news related to scientific publishing, the sources consulted were the bases Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), Web of Science (WoS ), Scopus and the Lattes Platform. For the processing of the results a data collection was carried out from documents submitted by Qualis, indexing databases and publishers. As a result of consultation with Qualis documents by area, the main multidisciplinary bases were WoS, Scopus and SciELO. They were collected, pooled and compared the requirements of indexation of bases and the services provided by the commercial publishers. The topics used to introduce and contextualize the model were: a) scientific communication and scientific journals, and b) the editorial environment. Treatment of scientific communication emphasized the principles and purposes of science. The journal is approached considering its function and purpose within the scientific communication, concepts, structure, flow of activities and cost models. The editorial environment presents a brief historical narrative, presenting the evolution of the aspects that define it - including the evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT), the serials crisis of the traditional publishing business model, the debate among commercial publishers and the segments participating in the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge. The situation is completed in-depth analysis of the initiative of Open Access (OA). Concludes with the creation of a cost model, based on criteria of indexing databases and practices of commercial publishers, and an analysis of this model forward to trends of the editorial environment and the AA . Keywords: Scientific communication. Scientific publishing. Scientific journal. Open access. Cost model.

This text points out that the responsibility for the success of open access to research results is actually in the hands of the researchers themselves, and makes some suggestions on how they can act to achieve this major goal.

Este texto destaca que a responsabilidade para o sucesso do acesso aberto aos resultados de pesquisa está, na verdade, nas mãos dos próprios pesquisadores, e faz algumas sugestões sobre como eles podem agir para alcançar este grande objetivo.

RESUMEN
En la presente investigación  sobre la situación  de las revistas académicas en América Latina, desde la perspectiva teórica de la sociología de la cultura, se  indagará acerca de la circulación y difusión de la producción científica local y regional y la estrecha relación que se establece con las prácticas del campo científico, siendo la publicación de artículos de revistas una parte constitutiva del mismo. Focalizando la atención sobre las características particulares que adquieren las revistas académicas latinoamericanas, en el contexto actual de marginalidad de la producción científica regional, expresada a través de la circulación y difusión de las mismas en las bibliotecas universitarias de Argentina.
Asimismo, desde el abordaje teórico de Bourdieu (1988b, 1994) se analizarán las representaciones simbólicas puestas en juego en las prácticas de las bibliotecas universitarias, con relación a la selección de la producción científica nacional y regional, en búsqueda del espacio simbólico que ocupan en el conjunto de recursos de información que se presentan.

ABSTRACT
In the research on the situation of academic journals in Latin America, from the theoretical perspective of the sociology of culture, he will inquire about the circulation and dissemination of local and regional scientific production and the close relationship established with the practice the scientific field, since the publication of journal articles a constituent part thereof. Focusing attention on the particular characteristics acquired by the Latin American academic journals, in the current context of marginality of the regional scientific production, expressed through the circulation and dissemination of the same in the university libraries of Argentina.
Also, from the theoretical approach symbolic representations brought into play in the practice of university libraries, in relation to the selection of national and regional scientific production, in search of symbolic space they occupy in the set of information resources that will be analyzed They are presented.

Resumen. Se analiza el cumplimiento de criterios generales y específicos por parte de las revistas científicas digitales nacionales indizadas en el Índice de Revistas Mexicanas de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica gestionado por el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología. El trabajo describe-en un primer momento-los criterios particulares con los que el CONACYT evalúa a las revistas que se publican en línea para integrarlas en el Índice. Posteriormente confronta aspectos que reúnen las cuatro revistas digitales vigentes en éste con las versiones electrónicas de revistas de las áreas a las que pertenecen dichas publicaciones. También se estudia la incorporación de cuatro parámetros (versión móvil; versión HTML para escritorio; disponibilidad de los artículos en XML e inclusión de botones de compartición en redes sociales) que hoy en día emplean las revistas digitales a nivel mundial para distinguirse y visibilizarse. Algunos de los resultados obtenidos son: ninguna de las cuatro revistas estudiadas cumple con la totalidad de los once parámetros editoriales necesarios para incorporarse o mantenerse en el IRMICT. Solo una de las revistas del estudio cuenta con versión móvil, tres de ellas incorporan botones de compartición de sus contenidos en redes sociales, idéntico número posee versión HTML y ninguna permite la descarga en formato XML.

Le Centre pour l'édition électronique ouverte (Cléo), unité mixte de recherche et de service du CNRS, de l'EHESS, de l'Université de Provence et de l'Université d'Avignon, développe une plateforme d'édition électronique complète pour la communauté scientifique des Sciences humaines et sociales. Le coeur en est Revues.org qui, créé en 1999, est le plus ancien portail français de revues scientifiques en Sciences humaines et sociales. Avec une fréquentation en croissance constante et plus d'un million de visites mensuelles , Revues.org offre un point d'observation sur les pratiques de lectures en ligne en sciences humaines et sociales francophones. L'article rend compte des résultats d'un questionnaire mis en ligne en avril 2009, destiné par ailleurs à mieux cerner le profil et les attentes du lectorat de Revues.org.

Português [English version below]
Para uma inflação de 81% entre 1986 a 2006, os custos das assinaturas dos periódicos científicos, especialmente os das áreas duras, cresceram 320%. Os dispêndios das bibliotecas com o acervo acompanharam este último percentual – mas os gastos com livros, que representam uma parcela significativa da literatura referencial para as humanidades, aumentaram apenas 78%. Atualmente, há revistas cuja assinatura anual atinge 25 mil dólares, mas os alarmes começaram a soar na comunidade científica já por volta de 1990, quando os valores chegaram a um quinto desse e os pesquisadores se sentiram abusados pelas editoras comerciais, as detentoras exclusivas dos meios de transmitir o conhecimento gerado nas pesquisas. Urgia tomar alguma providência, e foram os próprios pesquisadores que deram o primeiro passo: divisando a internet como forma alternativa de dar visibilidade aos seus achados, passaram a publicar seus artigos online. Em torno dessa ousada iniciativa, mobilizaram-se diversos grupos, constituídos por pesquisadores, bibliotecários, profissionais de ciência da informação e de informática e dirigentes de instituições de pesquisa e de entidades de fomento. Atuando isoladamente, mas em harmonia, cada um desses grupos contribuiu decisivamente para fazer da ousada iniciativa um espaço profissional, sério, seguro, confiável, respeitável e respeitado: o open access, o acesso livre. O artigo conta essa história, apresenta o avançado status em que o acesso livre se encontra e, mais importante, sugere em que e como instituições e pesquisadores podem atuar para fortalecê-lo e consolidá-lo, visando a uma eficácia multiplamente ampliada dos esforços de pesquisa e de criação de conhecimento.

For an 81% inflation between 1986 and 2006, the subscription costs of scientific journals, especially those in the hard areas, grew 320%. The expenditures of libraries with the holdings accompanied the latter percentage - but spending on books, which represent a very significant portion of the reference literature for the humanities, increased only 78%. Currently, there are journals whose annual subscription reaches US$ 25,000, but the alarms began to sound in the scientific community since around 1990, when the values reached a fifth of the latter and the researchers felt abused by commercial publishers, the exclusive owners of the ways to transmit the research generated knowledge. It was urgent to take some action, and the researchers were the ones who took the first step: devising the internet as an alternative way to give visibility to their findings, they began to publish their articles online. Several groups consisting of researchers, librarians, professionals in information and in computer science, as well as heads of research institutions and financing agencies mobilized themselves around this bold initiative. Acting separately, but in harmony, each of these groups contributed decisively to transform the bold initiative into a professional, serious, safe, reliable, respectable and respected space: the open access environment. The following article tells the open access story, presents its current advanced status and, more important than all, suggests how researchers and institutions can take actions to strengthen and consolidate it, in order to multiply the effectiveness of research and of knowledge creation.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta uma revisão de literatura e um levantamento dos aspectos estruturais a serem considerados para publicação de um periódico científico de qualidade. Alguns modelos têm sido apresentados na literatura desde 1960 e novos indicadores e parâmetros propostos para áreas do conhecimento, objetivos e/ou demandas específicas, são apresentados. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é identificar os indicadores, com foco na apresentação dos periódicos científicos (aspectos formais) em propostas de modelos para avaliação de qualidade de periódicos e analisar a ocorrência destes indicadores, verificando quais deles são os mais citados na literatura da área de ciência da informação. Foram identificados dezenove estudos nacionais nas principais bases de dados da área. Como resultado apresentam-se 31 critérios e 224 indicadores de avaliação e sua frequência de ocorrência. A pesquisa contribui para a literatura sobre qualidade de periódicos científicos ao identificar, sintetizar e unificar os critérios de qualidade mais recorrentes nos estudos e visa a colaborar com os avanços no processo da editoração e avaliação de periódicos nacionais. Abstract This paper presents a literature review and a survey of the structural aspects to be considered for publishing a qualified scientific journal. Some models have been presented in the literature since 1960 and new indicators and parameters are proposed to specific areas of knowledge, goals and/or demands. The main objective of this work is to identify the indicators, focused on the presentation of scientific periodicals (formal aspects) proposed by models of quality evaluation for journals and to analyze the occurrence of indicators verifying which of them are the most cited in the information science literature. It is identified nineteen national studies in the major databases of the area. As result, it is presented 31 categories and 224 criteria for valuation and frequency of occurrence. The research contributes to literature of scientific journals quality when it identifies, summarizes and unifies the most cited quality criteria and when the research aims to collaborate with advances in editorial process and of quality evaluation for national journals.

Português: Na pesquisa relatada neste artigo, teve-se como objetivo analisar a gestão editorial de periódicos científicos da área de Administração no contexto brasileiro e propor uma tipologia de seus modelos de gestão. Adotou-se uma abordagem qualitativa e utilizou-se o método de estudo de casos múltiplos dos seguintes periódicos: RAE, RAC, RAUSP, O&S e BAR. Identificou-se que o modelo de gestão dos periódicos está fortemente vinculado a seu tipo de instituição mantenedora (associação científica, instituição de ensino superior [IES] pública, IES privada), a qual influencia nas questões financeiras, administrativas e científicas das revistas.

English: This research aimed to examine the editorial management of Brazilian scientific journals in the administration field and propose a typology of their management models. We adopted a qualitative approach and used the multiple case study method with the following journals: RAE, RAC, RAUSP, O&S and BAR. It was identified that the management model of the journals is strongly linked to the type of supporting entity (scientific association, public/private higher education institution), which influences the financial, administrative and scientific issues of the journals.

El desarrollo sostenido de edición de revistas científicas ha abierto un campo de análisis y aplicación de conocimientos específicos para los bibliotecarios. El trabajo en cooperación con los editores enriquece a ambos actores pues, mientras los bibliotecarios conocen los estándares de normalización de la información y difusión del conocimiento científico, los editores se centran en las tareas académicas -pertinencia temática, relación con autores y evaluadores, revisión por pares. Los indicadores de evaluación de revistas científicas, tanto regionales como internacionales, se han afianzado en las últimas décadas a partir de acuerdos interinstitucionales y de la aceptación de los propios editores, aplicándose criterios de gestión y criterios formales de edición y evaluación. En este contexto, los editores necesitan un apoyo especializado que los acompañe en el proceso de desarrollo científico y técnico para conseguir que sus revistas se inserten en los principales núcleos de publicaciones científicas de cada disciplina. En este trabajo se presenta la experiencia de la Coordinación del Área de Publicaciones, en la Biblioteca de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, que edita actualmente más de 20 revistas/ Abstract: The sustained development of publishing of scientific journals has opened a field of analysis and application of specific knowledge for librarians. Working cooperatively with publishers enriches both players since, while librarians especially know the standardization and dissemination of journals, the editors focus on academic tasks, thematic relevance, relationship with authors and reviewers, peer review. The parameters of regional and international edition have strengthened themselves in recent decades from interinstitutional agreements and the publishers' acceptance, using methods of management and editing and formal criteria of evaluation of academic production. So publishers need a specialized and institutional support to accompany the process of scientific and technical development to get their magazines inserted in main core of scientific journals in each discipline. This paper examines the case of the Coordinación del Área de Publicaciones, of the Biblioteca de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, that currently publishes over 20 journals

Research in Education and Innovation Innovation Archives (REALIA) is the new name
of the journal that from 2008 to 2018 published the Servei de Formació i Innovació Educativa of the Universitat de València. As others have done before, in 2019 @tic revista d’innovació educativa changed its name. In this text we review the ten years of @tic revista d’innovació educativa, we explain the reasons for this change and  introduce new features and some future prospects.

Despite its short history, eLife has a substantially high Impact Factor that places it among the best scientific journals in the world, not only exceptionally often quoted, but also read. It is thus easy to see that transparent procedures, speed, openness and return to academic freedom does not hinder the scientific process of the highest quality. Morever, such an initiative increases the popularity of papers published in the journal among readers also beyond the academic community. eLife is thus an example of an absolutely new, free and equal journal, as well as a simply ideal journal whose modern character goes hand in hand with locating it within the ethos of free science.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo identificar o impacto e a meia-vida de periódicos brasileiros da área de Administração e discutir alternativas ao modelo do JCR, propiciando subsídios para uma reflexão sobre os indicadores para medição do impacto de periódicos científicos brasileiros e seu uso na avaliação na produção científica no Brasil. Foram realizadas duas análises complementares: 1) cálculo do impacto (utilizando como fonte de dados o Google Scholar) de sete periódicos da área (RAE, RAC, RAP, RAUSP, BAR, RAM e O&S); 2) cálculo da meia-vida de um periódico, a RAE. Foi possível identificar que estas revistas apresentam impacto relativamente elevado, quando comparado ao de periódicos estrangeiros da área. Além disso, percebe-se que a meia-vida da RAE é relativamente elevada, levando-nos a crer que a janela de citações para cálculo de índices de impacto deve ser maior que os dois anos atualmente considerados pelas grandes bases de dados internacionais

Com este trabalho pretendemos analisar a validade da asserção que diz
que a ciência política tem ignorado os assuntos religiosos, no estudo dos acontecimentos políticos que marcam o mundo, em particular, desde o último quartel do século XX. Para isso, examinamos os conteúdos das publicações das revistas de ciência política de um grupo de países europeus criteriosamente selecionados. Foram escolhidos nove periódicos científicos de seis países diferentes e analisámos quase 700 publicações da disciplina. A sua classificação foi feita mediante a introdução de critérios de análise operativos que nos permitem distinguir três tipos de unidades codificadas: as primárias (religião surge destacada), secundárias (função acessória) e as não classificadas (não considerada). O nosso período de observação é entre 2010 e 2015 e aí verifica-se que, apesar de os cientistas políticos continuarem a subestimar a relevância dos assuntos religiosos e/ou de as revistas da área oferecerem pouco espaço a estes temas, o cenário não é tão negativo quanto o estado da arte denunciava.

I prepared this when I was founding Semantics-Syntax Interface (an international journal) four years ago. I went through many different referee guidelines then and selected the points below. We were sending this file together with the review form and the anonymous manuscript to the referees.
I believe that reviewers should be trained, so that they can be nice consultants to editors and helpful commentators to authors. Needless to say, referees play an important role in science; they purify science from pseudoscience.

The paper is devoted to Open Access to scholar information via creating OA journals and institutional and subject repositories as the most effective way of modern scholar communication. Detailed characteristics of repositories are described. All their policies, peculiarities, kinds, types of content, functional features are discussed.

Our objective is to analyze the use that Latin American peer-reviewed journals make of the tools and opportunities provided by electronic publishing, particularly of those that would make them evolve to be more than “mere photocopies” of their printed counterparts. While doing these, we also set out to discover if there were any Latin American journals that use these technologies in an effective way, comparable to the most innovative journals in existence. We extracted a sample of 125 journals from the LATINDEX – Regional System of Scientific Journals of Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal – electronic resources index, and compared along five dimensions: (1) Non-linearity, (2) use of multimedia, (3) linking to external resources (“multiple use”), (4) interactivity, and (5) use of metadata, search engines, and other added resources. We have found that very few articles in these journals (14%) used non-linear links to navigate between different sections of the article. Al...

The creation and popularization of the Internet have led to serious changes in the communication field. Specifically in scientific communication, the use of electronic media allows you to streamline the editorial process steps, as well as facilitate the creation, dissemination, research and use of scientific information. However, the incorporation of technology is also challenging because it requires several changes in the management model of scientific journals. This is basically composed of scientific aspects (certification of contents aiming at the selection and dissemination of knowledge of high quality), administrative aspects (editorial and graphic production, administrative and financial management, marketing and communications) and financial aspects (revenue model) that need to be well aligned so that the journal can accomplish its main goal. This study aimed to analyze the editorial management of scientific journals in the Business Administration field in the Brazilian context and proposes a typology of their management models. It was adopted a qualitative approach and the data collection methods used were documental research, interviews and bibliometric analysis for, respectively, context identification, description of editorial management models and calculus of the impact of the journals selected for the study (Revista de Administração de Empresas, Revista de Administração Contemporânea, Revista de Administração da USP, Organizações & Sociedade and Brazilian Administration Review). It was identified that the selected journals have a relatively high impact (measured by citations) when compared to foreign journals classified at the Qualis (Brazilian Official Journal Ranking) of the Administration, Accounting and Tourism field. It is noticed that the management model of the journals is strongly linked to the type of supporting institution (Scientific Association, Private or Public Higher Education Institutions), which influences in scientific, administrative and financial matters of the journals. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute not only to the editors of scientific journals, but also for decision makers that work with the policies of assessment and promotion of scientific journals in Brazil.

When engineers and managers try to get familiar, quickly, with some process or problems, they use the 5W/1H technique. This consists of writing down objective (short and to the point) answers to six direct questions related to the situation: What? Who? When? Why? Where? How?
This short text intends to provide a starting point to discuss open access to scientific research articles, through a 5W/1H exercise. We will provide some answers, but will also present some answers taken from the literature, to help you to arrive at your own answers to all questions and inquietudes concerning open access; and we have the expectation that you all, dear readers, will at least form an opinion concerning this important and interesting subject.

O Prof. Dr. Jose Coura é, atualmente, um dos mais importantes experts em doença de Chagas. É professor emérito da Faculdade de Medicina da UFRJ, membro da Academia Nacional de Ciência, da Academia Nacional de Medicina, da Royal Society of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, da American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene etc. Cumpriu dois mandatos como diretor do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (1979-1985, 1997-2001) e dois  mandatos como editor-chefe das Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, uma das revistas científicas mais importantes e longevas da América Latina. Considerando que as Memórias publicaram artigos em um total de cinco línguas diferentes desde o seu princípio, em 1909, culminando em um formato exclusivamente em língua inglesa logo após passarem a ser publicadas online, em 1996, a tradução e o multilinguismo certamente são componentes cruciais desta que é a mais antiga instituição científica do Brasil. Levando em conta que a literatura científica é uma área pouco explorada nos Estudos da Tradução, apesar de sua superioridade com relação às ciências
humanas em volume de produção, há muito a ser aprendido por meio das decisões editoriais dessa revista e dos efeitos das mesmas.
