Open Access Policy

Artilugio follows the open access to scientific research policies pursued by Argentina (National Act 26.899 and its regulation) and the National University of Córdoba (RHCS 1365/2017), which promote open, free, and unlimited access to scientific publications and research undertaken with public funds. These regulations are in line with international standards, declarations, and suggestions (Budapest 2002, Bethesda 2003, Berlin 2003 and 2011, Salvador 2005, European Commission Recommendation 2012, UNESCO Policy guidelines for the development and promotion of open access 2013, EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, among others). ”Increased access to, and sharing of knowledge leads to opportunities for equitable economic and social development, intercultural dialogue, and has the potential to spark innovation.” (UNESCO, 2013). 

For these reasons, this journal promotes, supports, and provides open, immediate, and unlimited access to full texts in order to offer society its scientific and artistic research and contribute to the expansion of global knowledge exchange. Artilugio is a free journal and charges no fees to authors and readers. As long as they are not profit-driven, any researcher, professor, student, or citizen can read, download, copy, distribute, print, and search Artilugio’s articles without previous permission and without any financial, legal, or technical barriers. 

Having your work accepted in Artilugio implies that it cannot be simultaneously submitted to other journals or editorial institutions and that authors transfer their proprietary rights non-exclusively to the editors (who may reuse it) after post-print in compliance with Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). The published work can be publicly shared, copied, distributed, implemented, and made known as long as a) appropriate credit is given (journal, publishing house, and an URL to the publication), b) this is done on a non-profit basis, and c) derivative works (such as translations) are distributed under the source text’s original license. A non-exclusive transfer of rights also implies that authors permit the inclusion of their works in institutional repositories -Journal Portal of the National University of Córdoba and the Faculty of Arts Digital Repository (MAPA)- and their dissemination in databases the editors consider appropriate for indexing to increase visibility on Artilugio’s publications and authors. 

Artilugio adheres to the license Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA) suggested in the Declaration of Mexico in support of the Latin American non-commercial Open Access Ecosystem, which recognizes that the main barrier to international knowledge access is not technology, but the impossibility of paying access to commercial databases. Following this line, the declaration pronounces itself against the profit-driven use of published works and recommends these follow the conditions defined by the rights holder. Likewise, it recommends the sharing, distribution, downloading, and use of the material for academic purposes.
