Open Access policy
The publication of the articles has no economic cost for the authors, neither for the application nor for any of the stages of the editorial process. REB is a project of the ADBiA (Asociaciación de Docentes de Biología de la Argentina).
The journal upholds its commitment to the policies of Open Access to scientific production (established in the Argentine National Law 26,899 and its regulation and Resolution 1365/2017 of the National University of Córdoba), which consider that both publications and scientific research financed with public funds should be freely available, free of charge and without restrictions.
In that sense, REB provides immediate free access to its content, allows reading, downloading, copying, distributing, printing, searching or linking the full texts of its articles, and using them for any legitimate purpose, without economic, legal or technical barriers. Through this, the journal seeks to make scientific literature freely and openly available, betting on a greater exchange of global knowledge.
The journal adheres to the Creative Commons Licenses under which it publishes its contents.
Creative Commons used for all contents
The authors will keep their copyright and will guarantee the journal the right of first publication of their work, which will be simultaneously subject to the Creative Commons Acknowledgement License that does not allow commercial use of the original work or possible derivative works, the distribution of which must be made with a license equal to that which regulates the original work.
Self-Archiving Policy
The only version allowed for self-archiving is the final postprint. Authors may adopt other non-exclusive license agreements for distribution of the published version of the work (e.g., depositing it in an institutional telematic archive or publishing it in a monographic volume) as long as the initial publication in this journal is indicated.
Authors are encouraged to disseminate their work via the Internet (e.g., in institutional telematic archives or on their website) after the publication process, which can lead to interesting exchanges and increase citations of the published work. (See The Open Access Effect).
