Policy of non-exclusive rights transfer and open access

In line with the open access policy, publishing or reading El taco en la brea incurs no charges for the author or reader. El taco encourages authors to deposit their contributions in other institutional repositories, favoring true archival policies that ensure the survival and access to texts that, in most cases, are the product of work funded by state agencies.

The magazine reaffirms the open access model in which the contents of scientific publications are available, with full text freely and openly accessible on the Internet without temporary embargoes, and whose editorial production costs are not transferred to the authors. This policy proposes to break down the economic barriers that create inequalities in both access to information and the publication of research results.
