    First Status Report 2017

    • The journal has now been online and Open Access since September 2016, and we can now measure usage. The total number of downloads and views to all articles published so far is 5,498, and it keeps growing. To be compared with the print volumes that were previously distributed only in a few hundred copies per issue.
    • We have, so far, been able to digitise the volumes from 2001–2016, and the work continues to ensure that all volumes from 1977 and onwards will be made available in digital format and fully searchable online. The oldest volumes will be sent for professional scanning to ensure the highest quality possible.
    • All these articles will be published with Open Access, meaning that they are available for free download and sharing without any limits. The CC-BY licensing also makes it possible to translate content to other languages and to use text-and-data mining for large-scale analysis of the published work. Just remember to cite the source when you share material!
    • To enhance discoverability, we are also working to index the journal in several relevant databases in Latin America and Europe. This year, we are for example aiming to start collaborating with the Brazilian database CAPES, the Redalyc database and will also approach the SCiELO database with an application to ensure that people from other parts of the world also can find the journal to be reliable.
    • The Journal will once again open up for publishing articles in Portuguese, to include relevant research from more perspectives.
    • To accommodate these changes, we have also increased funding to be able to publish 12 articles per year (compared to 10 articles in the previous budget). It is important for further developments to provide a high-quality peer-review and dissemination platform without any author-facing charges. The Institute of Latin American Studies at Stockholm University will, therefore, continue to cover the cost of publishing alongside with a generous grant from the Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

    Iberoamericana Relaunch

    Iberoamericana – Nordic Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies is going through a transformation, from the print media to the digital media. The Editorial Team is excited to make the journal content more available to a wider audience by improving the digital tagging of content and releasing the full text for anyone to read through an Open Access publishing model. The first editorial under this new scheme can be read for free here.

    The new online platform will also help the Editorial Team to speed up the peer-review process of papers by improving correspondence tracking and digital editing. By publishing papers with a continuous plan (i.e. releasing articles as soon as they are accepted for publication and proof-read) we hope to serve the community with a more regular publishing schedule. From now on we will only accept papers submitted through the online platform. For those of you who would like to contribute to next year’s volume, see our updated instructions for authors here. The updated peer-review policy is described here.

    The volumes digitalised so far date back to 2008. A further grant has been awarded to digitise and publish online the older content as well.

    The Editorial Team has been expanded with two Deputy Editors; Benedicte Bull from Oslo University and Jussi Pakkasvirta from University of Helsinki. They will be involved in the process of evaluating manuscripts for publication to ensure that editors can avoid making decisions about contributions authored by close colleagues. The journal continues to be based at the Institute of Latin American Studies, at Stockholm University, but the ambition is to expand the involvement of Nordic partners.

    On behalf of the entire Editorial Team, I hereby invite you to read and reuse the content of our journal to further knowledge about the Latin American and Caribbean regions. We hope that this new open and digital policy furthers the understanding of societal structures for the greater good of people.

    If you have any further questions, or would like to be added to our database of reviewers, please contact us at Iberoamericana@lai.su.se

    Sincerely,
    Andrés Rivarola Puntigliano
    Editor-in-Chief
