SciELO Indexing Criteria align with open science communication | SciELO in Perspective

"The Criteria, policy and procedures for the admission and permanence of journals in the SciELO Brazil Collection were updated and become valid from January 2018. The new version contemplates advances in editorial policies related to the alignment of the SciELO Program with good practices of open science research communication. The perspective is to reinforce the contribution of SciELO journals in the social and scientific qualification of Brazilian research. The criteria aim to increase transparency, completeness, celerity and interoperability of research communication. Those were subjects widely discussed in the two panels of the VII SciELO Annual Meeting, both of which had the active participation of SciELO indexed journals. The first panel focused on the current and future status of SciELO and the second focused on the alignment of SciELO with open science."
