Preprints to Foster Open Science

Abstract

At ACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierias, we care deeply about open science. After all, we are an open access journal that does not charge an article processing charge, and all editors are volunteers who support open science practices. Our hosting and administrative costs are funded by Universidad San Francisco de Quito.

In a new effort to strengthen our open science practices, we have launched a Preprints server, named Preprints ACI. Authors who send an article to ACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierias are encouraged to deposit their article as a preprint on the server. Authors from within and outside the community of Universidad San Francisco de Quito are also welcome to use our preprint server.
