Open Access Statement

Sincronía electronic journal adheres to the concept of Diamond Open Access (OA), understood as the free and unrestricted availability of information disseminated through the Internet, allowing any user to read, copy, download, print, distribute or make any lawful use of published materials without financial, legal or technical barriers (Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002).

Likewise, Sincronía does not charge any fees for article processing, publication, downloading or access to its contents.

Therefore, Sincronía adopts the Open Access principles and policies established in the following international declarations:

Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002)
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/
Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (2003)
https://openaccess.mpg.de/Berlin-Declaration
Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (2003)
https://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/bethesda.htm
San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) (2012)
https://sfdora.org/

Accordingly, Sincronía makes all materials published in each of its issues freely available to the general public and Internet users at no cost. This includes the complete elimination of publication, processing and access fees for both authors and readers. Through this policy, the journal promotes direct and unrestricted access to scholarly works produced by national and international researchers.

Likewise, Sincronía has implemented a long-term digital preservation policy, ensuring the inclusion of its contents in institutional repositories, university library systems, and major national, regional and international directories, catalogues and indexing services.
