General Information

Frequency

The dynamism in the generation of scientific knowledge and the accelerated pace at which findings are produced in the field of research have forged a new paradigm in the way science is communicated. In the new model, immediacy has become a fundamental factor in shortening the publication deadlines of articles, impacting their relevance, timeliness, and novelty. Without overlooking the benefits this brings to both authors and readers, Revista Científica ANMAT publishes under a continuous model. Each article that goes through the editing process is uploaded to the website immediately after being accepted, without waiting for the volume to be finalized.

Each volume covers a full calendar year and includes articles published between January and December of that year. Each volume is identified by a sequential number followed by the corresponding calendar year.

 

Funding and Publication Costs

The common interest of authors and editors is to disseminate what they write and publish. Therefore, Revista Científica ANMAT subscribes to the non-profit editorial publishing model, the diamond route. This means that no Article Processing Charges (APCs) are charged. As a result, authors are not charged for the processing of their submissions, and users are able yo read and download the published articles free of charge.

The National Administration of Medicines, Foods, and Medical Devices finances the costs of management, publication, and dissemination.

Because funding sources can bias content through the choice of topics and viewpoints, Revista Científica ANMAT adopts the recommendation elaborated by the Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE):

The journal takes full responsibility for the policies, practices, and content of publications, including complete control of the decision to select authors, peer reviewers, and content for the journal.

 

Digital preservation

Revista Científica ANMAT guarantees the long-term preservation of all its digital contents through its participation in the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) networks. Through these systems, copies of published articles are stored and distributed across a global network of collaborating libraries, ensuring permanent access to contents in the event of technical or institutional contingencies.

 

Advertising

According to the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), best practice prohibits advertisements that match editorial content about the same product. For this reason, and because Revista Científica ANMAT is a non-profit publication, the journal does not accept advertising or promote products or services.
