Open Access Policy

This is an Open Journal, which means that the entirety of its content is available, free of charge, for any person or institution. Users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search and link full texts from articles or use them for any other legal purpose without requesting permission from the publisher or the author. These terms are established in accordance with the Budapest Open Access Initiative.

Antiplagiarism policy

Revista Espacios has an antiplagiarism policy that guarantees the originality and integrity of all articles it receives, applied using antiplagiarism softwares (smallseotools, duplichecker or Turnitin®). Such instruments can detect coincidences or similarities between texts received for publishing and other papers issued previously on other sources. If any possible form of plagiarism is detected, the article is to be discarded and its authors are to be informed.

Interoperability policy

All articles published until 2020 have html metadata incorporated into its source code. This allows any search engine to analyze the content of each page.

Since November 2020, the DOI of each article is periodically deposited, thus building the metadata. Efforts are being made in order to label articles according to this registry.

Revista Espacios implemented the OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) protocol, a mechanism that collects metadata for repositories. Link: http://saber.ucv.ve/ojs/index.php/rev_esp/issue/archive/oai
