Revista Nutrición Continua Formally Joins the DORA Initiative!
DORA is a global initiative aimed at improving the evaluation of scientific research, eliminating the use of journal-based metrics (such as the Journal Impact Factor) to judge the merit of individual research works.
For our community, this commitment translates into a fairer, more transparent way of operating focused on the real value of science:
-
For Authors and Reviewers: Your contributions and research are evaluated and valued by their intrinsic scientific rigor, originality, and methodological contribution, rather than by the bibliometric indicator of the journal title.
-
For Readers and the General Public: We guarantee that the knowledge disseminated strictly responds to rigorous clinical and social quality criteria.
In direct alignment with the principles of DORA, Revista Nutrición Continua assumes the following operational commitments:
-
Eliminate the use of journal-based metrics (such as the Factor de Impacto or Journal Impact Factor) as the primary tool to evaluate the individual quality of research articles when considering them for publication.
-
Value the scientific content of manuscripts above their place of publication or commercial metrics.
-
Foster responsible citation practices, prioritizing primary literature and the direct relevance of the generated knowledge, while discouraging artificial self-citation or the misuse of indicators.
-
Broaden the spectrum of valued contributions, recognizing the diversity of research outputs (open data, software, methodologies, educational resources) and distinct author contributions through standard taxonomies such as CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy).
-
Promote transparency and accountability in our editorial processes and peer review.
