El Sistema

El objetivo principal de esta contribución se enmarca en el estudio sobre la transparencia editorial en las 18 revistas mexicanas de educación indizadas en el Sistema de Clasificación de Revistas Mexicanas de Ciencia y Tecnología del Conacyt. El análisis se sustenta en la comprobación del cumplimiento total, parcial o nulo de 15 criterios definidos por las autoras a partir de la revisión de los Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, publicado en 2018 por el Comitte on Publication Ethics (COPE), y de las Directrices para autores y traductores de artículos científicos publicados en inglés, propuesto en el mismo año por la European Association of Science Editors (EASE). De los resultados obtenidos destacamos los siguientes: sólo una de las 18 revistas analizadas cumple con los 15 criterios establecidos; cinco publicaciones presentan una alta transparencia editorial al cumplir con 14 criterios, y dos revistas cumplieron únicamente nueve de los criterios de transparencia editorial. Se concluye advirtiendo sobre la necesidad de que la transparencia editorial sea un estándar de cumplimiento obligatorio para la indización o permanencia en sistemas de publicaciones como el de Conacyt.

Purpose: The “Principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing” are of increasing importance in an open science environment as a way to increase the transparency and quality of academic society journals. However, little previous research has investigated the application of this new guideline in practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the degree to which this guideline is being applied by Korean academic society– published journals listed in Journal Citation Reports.Methods: The researchers investigated the homepages of 59 Korean academic society– published journals to evaluate whether they had adopted the 33 items listed in the guideline. Based on the information available on the journals’ homepages, each item was classified as ‘yes’ or ‘no’ within the four categories of basic journal information, publication ethics, copyright and archiving information, and profit model.Results: The basic journal information category was generally well-practiced, with the exceptions of the peer review process, readership, and author fees. The copyright and licensing information category was also well-practiced, with the exception of policies on posting accepted articles with third parties and archiving items. However, most items in the publication ethics category were not well practiced, with the exception of authorship and intellectual property. All items in the profit model category were infrequently implemented.Conclusion: These findings serve as a good indicator for Korean journal editors of areas for improvement. It may be helpful to review journals’ publication policies and homepages to comply with international publishing standards.
