Analysis of compliance with best practices and transparency for open access diamond
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: The present research examines the level of compliance with quality and transparency standards in diamond open access academic journals published by the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL). The study focuses on the evaluation of the implementation of practices that optimize the visibility, accessibility and reuse of academic content. Methodology: A documentary content analysis was conducted on the web platforms of 38 institutional journals. The evaluation was based on the principles of transparency and good practices established by international reference organizations, including The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ), Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), for the evaluation an instrument was used to rate these indicators which was created in the tool QuestionPro. Conclusions: The results reveal significant heterogeneity in compliance with the standards evaluated among the different institutional publications. This disparity in adherence to recommended practices suggests the existence of substantial gaps in the implementation of fundamental editorial policies. This variability in results represents both an institutional challenge and an opportunity for strategic development. The identification of successful practices within the university ecosystem itself provides a solid foundation for institutional development. These findings represent a critical opportunity to consolidate UANL's position in the field of open access publishing.
