English abstract

This essay discusses the issue of scientific publishing policies and distinguishes three types of journals: the large or giant commercialpublishers that represent sharks or predators of science and its operators and funders, the fraudulent predatory ones that publishvirtually anything without proper review for a publication fee, and the journals outside the Western Eurocentric or the UnitedStates/Canada axis that are often free or charge much lower fees to authors and generally offer open access of articles. In thissense, it was demonstrated through the scientific content curation methodology that both journals from large publishers andpredatory or fraudulent journals are predatory. Thus, researchers should avoid predatory or fraudulent journals since publishingin these vehicles constitutes scientific misconduct, but it is necessary that there is a decolonial rupture in the sense of valuing local,national or regional journals, especially in the Latin American, Iberoamerican, Eastern European, Asian and other countries thatalso develop quality and important science, because the knowledge generated locally interests the society and the managers to solveour problems and not only be published in English, with restricted access, which hinders its apprehension by the priority targetaudiences to face the challenges and make the educational, political, economic, cultural and technological transformations thatLatin America and the developing world demand.

Spanish abstract

El presente ensayo discute la cuestión de las políticas editoriales científicas y distingue tres tipos de revistas: las editoriales grandes o gigantes comerciales que representan a los tiburones o depredadores de la ciencia y sus operadores o financiadores; los depredadores fraudulentos que prácticamente publican cualquier cosa sin la debida revisión, mediante el pago de la tasa de publicación; y las revistas fuera del eje eurocéntrico occidental o de los Estados Unidos y Canadá que muchas veces son gratuitas o cobran tasas bajas a los autores y ofrecen, generalmente, acceso abierto a los artículos. En este sentido, se demuestra por medio de una metodología de curaduría científica de contenido, que tanto las revistas de las grandes editoriales como las depredadoras o fraudulentas son depredadoras. De esta manera, los investigadores deben evitar a este tipo de revistas, y es necesario que haya una ruptura de colonial respecto a valorizar a las revistas locales, nacionales o regionales, especialmente del contexto latinoamericano, iberoamericano, de Europa Oriental, Asia y de otros países en los que también se desarrolla una ciencia de calidad e importancia. El conocimiento generado localmente interesa a la sociedad y a los gestores para resolver los problemas que son propios, no ocurre así con los trabajos que están publicados en inglés, con acceso restricto, lo cual dificulta su aprehensión por parte de los públicos prioritarios para enfrentar los desafíos y realizar las transformaciones educativas, políticas, económicas, culturales y tecnológicas que América Latina y el mundo en desarrollo requieren.
