Post-publication

Post-publication is a new term that can be used to refer to the processes of diffusion, dissemination and appropriation of a scientific work, after its publication online. Journals develop policies, protocols and strategies of scientific communication to stimulate the consultation of their contents and be able to reach the specialized target audience, mainly, but also the general public who may benefit or have some type of impact from the results of a research.

Below are some key aspects on the access to the Journal and the uses of its contents.
