Good Editorial Practices
Policy of non-exclusive rights transfer and open access
In line with the open access policy, publishing or reading El taco en la brea incurs no charges for the author or reader. El taco encourages authors to deposit their contributions in other institutional repositories, favoring true archival policies that ensure the survival and access to texts that, in most cases, are the product of work funded by state agencies.
The magazine reaffirms the open access model in which the contents of scientific publications are available, with full text freely and openly accessible on the Internet without temporary embargoes, and whose editorial production costs are not transferred to the authors. This policy proposes to break down the economic barriers that create inequalities in both access to information and the publication of research results.

Acceptance of the text by the journal implies non-simultaneous submission to other journals or editorial bodies and the non-exclusive transfer of the authors' property rights to the publisher, who allows reuse after editing (post print), provided that: a) authorship and the original source of its publication (journal, publisher, and work URL) are cited; b) they are not used for commercial purposes.
A "Copyright Transfer" note (available here) must be completed by the authors of the articles and sent to the email address of the journal and the publisher of the National University of Litoral.
Weekly backup on magnetic tape: every week (on Saturdays), a complete backup copy is made on a magnetic tape. For this backup copy, a rotating scheme with 10 magnetic tapes is used. Each new backup is made on the magnetic tape that contains the oldest backup copy, providing a total backup time of up to 64 days.
The backup files on the magnetic tape are stored in "zip" format, compressed by the backup management system. In case of a possible failure of the magnetic tape reading/writing equipment, two reading/writing devices are available for exchange. The magnetic tapes for daily and weekly backup copies are stored inside a fireproof container (safe).
Database backup: a daily backup copy (dump) of the system's database is applied, along with a complete backup copy of the database engine with recovery capacity for up to (5) five minutes prior to the crash. Additionally, the database server is replicated on two nodes, and both have RAID 1.
