Open Access Policy

This journal provides open access to its content, based on the principle that offering the public free access to scientific output is essential for greater global exchange of knowledge.

Full Waiver of Fees

Based on the premise that knowledge should be a common good, Alteridades maintains an open call for submissions to receive, review, and publish works that strictly comply with our Editorial Criteria, without charging authors or readers any fees through the OJS platform. 

Licenses

Considering that free access to the journal is not sufficient and that it is necessary to reuse our content, authors will retain their copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication of their work, which will simultaneously be subject to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License, allowing third parties to share the work provided that the author and its first publication in this journal are cited.

Authors may enter into other non-exclusive licensing

agreements for the distribution of the published version of the work (e.g., depositing it in an institutional digital repository or publishing it in a monograph) provided that the initial publication in this journal is cited.

Self-archiving

Alteridades allows and encourages authors to share their published work online after it has been published in the journal, provided they always cite the journal as the original source of the text.

 

Persistent Identifiers

Alteridades integrates ORCID and DOI persistent identifiers to ensure access, digital preservation, and interoperability of its content.

 

Digital Preservation

Alteridades uses the LOCKSS system to create a distributed storage system among participating libraries and enables the creation of permanent archives within the journal for preservation and restoration purposes. In addition, it preserves all documents it publishes electronically by performing a backup every 3 weeks at the Library and the Computing Services Coordination Office of the Iztapalapa Campus of the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM), as well as at the Information Technology Directorate of the General Rector’s Office of the Autonomous Metropolitan University.  This enables digital access to the documents, as well as their long-term preservation and future conversion to different digital formats when required.
