Repository Policy

Revista Inclusiones actively encourages self-archiving of articles in institutional, thematic, or academic repositories (e.g., university repositories, Zenodo, arXiv, SciELO Preprints), with the goal of maximizing visibility, accessibility, and reuse of published research, under the terms of the Creative Commons BY 4.0 International license.

Permitted Versions for Deposit

1. Preprint (version prior to peer review)

Permitted: Share the unevaluated version before or during the submission process.

Requirement: Include this statement:

"This is a preprint version not submitted to peer review. The final reviewed and edited version was published in Revista Inclusiones [year, vol.(no.), pp.]. DOI: https://doi.org/[xxxxx]"

Recommendation: Update the deposit with the final DOI once the article is published.

2. Postprint (accepted version after peer review)

Permitted: Deposit the final manuscript version approved by reviewers, before editorial layout.

Requirement: Include this statement:

"This is the accepted manuscript version, prior to editorial layout. The published version of record is available in Revista Inclusiones [year, vol.(no.), pp.]. DOI: https://doi.org/[xxxxx]"

3. Published Version (editorial PDF under CC BY 4.0)

Permitted: Deposit the final edited and formatted PDF from the journal.

Mandatory:

  • Cite the article with its official DOI (e.g., https://doi.org/[xxxxx]), which is the permanent canonical URL.
  • Include the complete citation. Other researchers may adapt the format according to their publication standards (APA, Vancouver, IEEE, Harvard, etc.), but the DOI must always be present.
  • Preserve CC BY 4.0 license metadata and authorship attribution.
Citation example (flexible format depending on destination):
Last name, First name. "Article Title". Revista Inclusiones vol., no. num. (year): pp-pp. https://doi.org/[xxxxx]

Key Principles of the CC BY 4.0 License

Under this license, authors and third parties may:

  • Share: copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
  • Adapt: remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially
  • Unrestricted use: there are no embargo periods or platform limitations
Only condition: provide appropriate credit, indicate the license, and link to the original DOI.

Recommendations to Maximize Impact

1. DOI as the Unique Reference

Use the DOI in all versions (preprint/postprint/published) for unified metric tracking and to avoid citation fragmentation.

2. Institutional Repositories with OAI-PMH

Prioritize deposit in institutional or thematic repositories with active OAI-PMH protocol. This allows metadata to be automatically harvested by international aggregators such as OpenAIRE, BASE, and CORE, exponentially multiplying your research visibility.

Important note: Revista Inclusiones is already indexed in OpenAIRE, BASE, and CORE, which automatically harvest all published articles. By additionally depositing in your institutional repository, you create a second access point that reinforces digital presence and improves positioning in academic search engines.

3. Version Updates

If depositing a preprint, update it with the final DOI reference after publication to guide readers to the version of record.

4. Complete Metadata

Always include institutional affiliation information, funding (if applicable), and ORCID for academic traceability.

5. Compatibility with Open Access Mandates

This policy complies with Plan S, Horizon Europe, cOAlition S, and institutional open access mandates.

What is NOT Permitted

  • Attribution violations: Removing authorship credits, DOI, or mention of Revista Inclusiones.
  • Modifications without indication: Altering published content without clearly indicating it is a derived version.
  • DRM restrictions: Applying technological measures that prevent access or reuse permitted by CC BY 4.0.

Benefits of Self-Archiving

  • Expanded visibility: Reach across multiple global academic platforms through automatic harvesting
  • Increased citations: Studies demonstrate a 36-172% increase in citations for open access articles
  • Mandate compliance: Satisfies requirements from public and private funders
  • Digital preservation: Distributed backup against data loss
  • Multiple access points: Your article will be available both in Revista Inclusiones and in repositories, both harvested by OpenAIRE, BASE, and CORE
  • Reuse freedom: Enables translation, pedagogical adaptation, and data analysis

Automatic Indexing of Revista Inclusiones

Revista Inclusiones is indexed and automatically harvested by:

  • OpenAIRE (European open access infrastructure)
  • BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine)
  • CORE (global aggregator of open access articles)

These services automatically collect metadata from all published articles via our OAI-PMH endpoint, guaranteeing presence on their platforms without author intervention. Self-archiving in institutional repositories complements this visibility, creating multiple discovery pathways for your research.
