Scope and policy
|
Revista Información Científica (RIC) is
an Open Access journal, official organ of scientific communication of the Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Guantánamo, Cuba. It publishes in continuous way. Every issue
is arranged bimonthly, with summaries in English and Portuguese, as well as
supplements dedicated to different topics in the medical sciences. It
uses the evaluation process by external peers (double-blind and single-blind)
and is aimed at all health professionals or those linked to this field
(philosophers, psychologists, pedagogues) both from the country and abroad,
who need to communicate the results of their research, cooperate, exchange
and manage scientific health information. This journal complies with the Uniformity
Requirements for Manuscripts sent to Biomedical Journals of the International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and with the
certification established for scientific-technological serials, provided for
in the third section, Article 20 of Resolution No.
59/2003
of the Ministerio de Ciencia,
Tecnología y Medio Ambiente
(CITMA) of the Republic of Cuba. With the advent of the new Open Science paradigm and its gradual implementation, RIC accepts manuscripts previously available on recognized preprint servers (MedRXiv, ArXiv, SciELO Preprints), as well as recommends the deposit of the data obtained on the research developed for the article in repositories of recognized prominence of the FAIR type (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), preferably in open access, as is the case of Zenodo, DataCite and SciELO Data or in the journal itself as a supplementary file. Likewise, it promotes the application of
international standards or established good practices, both for the
preparation of manuscripts and for their publication (Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Open
Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), International
System of Units (SI), International
Classification of Diseases, International Common Denomination of
drugs,
CRediT Taxonomy, ORCID and Descriptors in Health Sciences). The editing and publication of
contributions is completely free for authors; likewise, the arbitration
process by the arbitrators or reviewers is carried out without any type of
remuneration. There is no commercial or lucrative use of
any kind nor is it accepted or hosted advertising of any product, person or
service that is mentioned.
