Diamond and APC-based journals in Latin America: Sustainability in a changing ecosystem – DOAJ Blog

"DOAJ plays a crucial role in increasing global visibility for Latin American scholarly journals, most of which follow the Diamond open access model and are funded by public universities and research institutions. In this post, DOAJ Ambassadors Carolina Dias, Gimena del Río Riande and Ivonne Lujano Vilchis note that while the Diamond model remains dominant, a small but growing number of journals in the region are adopting APC-based models to cover operational costs, signaling shifts in the scientific communication landscape and the need for sustainable funding."
