Indexing

Indexing:

ARLA: The Association of Latin American Architecture Journals (hereinafter referred to as ARLA) is an initiative that emerged from the Journal Tables held at the Latin American Architecture Seminars (SAL). The first step was taken at the XIIº SAL held in Chile in the city of Concepción (2007), where the attending editors agreed to support the idea of creating a virtual platform that would enable an effective and constant mechanism of cooperation among Latin American architecture journals and, from there, also promote their international visibility.

LatinREV: It is the cooperative network of journals and associations of academic journals in the field of social sciences and humanities, created in 2017 by the Area of State and Public Policies and the "Enzo Faletto" Social Sciences Library of FLACSO Argentina. Its purpose is to provide advice, training, and updates on issues related to the sustainability of publications. Additionally, it offers the creation of a collaborative and participatory space to disseminate information of interest to editorial teams. For this purpose, LatinREV organizes an academic event every year with specialists in the field for the exchange and discussion of relevant topics for this academic production field.

Repositories and Databases:

ZENODO: Researchers built and developed Zenodo to ensure that everyone can join Open Science. The OpenAIRE project, at the forefront of open access and open data movements in Europe, was commissioned by the EC to support its emerging open data policy by providing a general repository for EC-funded research. CERN, a partner of OpenAIRE and a pioneer in open source, open access, and open data, provided this capability, and Zenodo was launched in May 2013. In support of its research program, CERN has developed tools for Big Data management and expanded the capabilities of the Digital Library for Open Data. Through Zenodo, these Big Science tools could be effectively shared with the long tail of research.

Academic Resource Index: It is open access with a high-standard indexing database for researchers and editors, freely indexing journals, research papers, article calls, and research positions.
Index Copernicus: It is a global database dedicated to scientific journals worldwide. Each editorial office registered in the ICI World of Journals database gains free access to the IT system that provides the ability to run a Journal Passport, an updated sample of a journal on the internet. In addition to information about the editorial board team, editor, journal website, or a description, the editorial office can publish information about scientific articles (metadata and full content in PDF). The idea of the ICI Journals Master List database is to create a possibility for scientific journals worldwide to verify them in terms of transparent editorial practices. Journal passports that have not been verified in these terms are marked with the corresponding warnings, these being Transparency Warning and Predator Alert.

BASE: It is one of the largest search engines in the world, especially for academic web resources. BASE provides over 300 million documents from over 10,000 content providers. You can access the full texts of around 60% of indexed documents for free (open access). BASE is operated by the Bielefeld University Library. We index metadata of all kinds of academically relevant resources (journals, institutional repositories, digital collections, etc.) that provide an OAI interface and use OAI-PMH to provide their contents (see our Golden Rules for repository administrators).

WorldCat: WorldCat.org is an excellent resource for locating unique and reliable materials that often cannot be found anywhere else other than a library. By connecting the collections of thousands of libraries in one place, WorldCat.org makes it easy to browse the world's libraries from a single search point.

DORA: The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) recognizes the need to improve how the results of academic research are evaluated. The declaration was developed in 2012 during the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco. It has become a global initiative covering all academic disciplines and all key stakeholders, including funders, publishers, professional societies, institutions, and researchers. We encourage all individuals and organizations interested in developing and promoting best practices in academic research assessment.

Open Archives Initiative OAI: The Open Archives Initiative develops and promotes interoperability standards aimed at facilitating effective content dissemination. The OAI has its roots in the open access and institutional repositories movements. Continued support for this work remains a cornerstone of the Open Archives program. Over time, however, the work of the OAI has expanded to promote broad access to digital resources for eScholarship, eLearning, and eScience.

EuroPub: It is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of England with No., 13127935. EuroPub database began its scientific activity in 2015, which at this moment includes more than 27,000 journals and at least 700,000 articles, other websites that are covered by EuroPub can be named Euroacadamia for journal certificates and Sjournals).

Anti-plagiarism:

Turnitin: Turnitin is a tool used to detect plagiarism. To do so, this software refers to millions of documents found in different databases. Once the content of the document is analyzed, it generates a report defining what proportion of the text is plagiarized and from where the information has been extracted. Therefore, Turnitin offers not only the copied text but also the source from which the information has been extracted.
