Open Access Policy

RIED is an international academic journal, open access, free for readers and authors, with no processing fees (no APC), double-blind peer review, aligned with the ideals of transparency, inclusion and equity in knowledge. It publishes under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, where authors retain full and unrestricted copyright and publication rights. Its contents are archived in multiple servers, integrated in the PKP Preservation Network, and have interoperable OAI-PMH protocols for automatic metadata harvesting.

Open Science Principles

Based on global frameworks such as the UNESCO UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (2021), the policy of RIED (Revista de Inclusión Educativa y Diversidad) is grounded in the following principles:

  • Immediate and free access: All articles are published under open access with no costs for readers or authors.

  • Transparency and quality: Double-blind peer review process and the use of Turnitin for plagiarism and AI content detection.

  • Author rights: Authors retain full copyright and allow non-commercial reuse under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.

  • Interoperability: Structured metadata and exposure through OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting).

  • Digital preservation: Content is stored across multiple servers with automated backups and long-term preservation through PKP PN (Preservation Network).

  • Inclusion and equity: The journal promotes cultural, social, gender, and learning diversity, does not charge APCs, and fosters social justice in scholarly publishing.

This policy places the Revista de Inclusión Educativa y Diversidad (RIED) in tune with the principles of educational open science, articulating free and immediate access to knowledge with international standards promoted by organizations such as UNESCO, Plan S, COPE and other editorial quality frameworks. This orientation seeks to contribute to the democratization of knowledge, promoting responsible, ethical and inclusive publishing practices. In turn, the implementation of interoperable protocols (such as OAI-PMH) and digital preservation systems (such as PKP Preservation Network) guarantees not only immediate accessibility, but also the preservation of knowledge as a public good and common heritage.

Finally, the use of academic control tools, such as Turnitin, responds to the commitment to scientific integrity by ensuring the originality of texts and preventing the inappropriate use of automatic content generation technologies. Overall, this policy expresses a clear position in the face of the contemporary challenges of academic dissemination, based on ethics, inclusion and universal access to knowledge.
