Abstract
Thoughts about the professionals in the Mexican publishing field and some of their problems, such as the publisher’s multiple functions, the new players in the process, the precarious work conditions, the current crisis and its possible projections into the future. The diversity in the forms of production and the consumption of texts are going through significant changes, due to the new digital formats, the fluidity and fragmentation of contents and the new ways in which the perception of reality is built in social networks. Nevertheless, the imaginary of the publishing professionals cherishes so many idealizations that this prevents them from becoming aware of their own contradictions and they are having a difficult time in consciously addressing new opportunities; therefore, many publishers rather see these changes as threats that must be resisted.
Authors who publish in Bibliographica automatically accept the following terms:
a. Authors will keep their authorship rights and will guarantee the journal the first time publication rights of their submitted work, which will be liable to a Creative Commons license that will allow third parties to share their work as long as they give appropriate credit to the author and the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica, it is not used for commercial purposes and modified material is not distributed in case of remix, transformation or recreation.
b. Authors can adopt other non-exclusive distribution license agreements of the published version of the work (for example: deposit it in an institutional telematic archive or publish it in a monographic volume) as long as the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica.
c. Authors are encouraged to self-archive their work (for example: in institutional telematic archives or their website), for this can promote interesting exchanges and increase the citation impact of the published work. (See The effect of open access).
