Acceso abierto

The AJAYU magazine is the academic and scientific magazine of the Department of Psychology of the Bolivian Catholic University - Sede La Paz. AJAYU is an open access journal and allows the download of all its published articles with mention of the source.

The growing importance of the open access movement has prompted funding institutions and entities to adopt open access policies that recommend or oblige authors to deposit their publications in open access repositories. The adoption of mandates by institutions is one of the most effective measures to promote open access among the academic community and reduce the reticence that many authors express regarding open access.

As part of its open access policy, AJAYU publishes the contributions sent by their authors, without financial compensation, under the express authorization of these authors.

Likewise, the AJAYU magazine promotes among the students of the Bolivian Catholic University the open access dissemination of all its content, guaranteeing compliance with standards that guarantee the preservation, access, interoperability and visibility of the content hosted by AJAYU.

On the other hand, AJAYU magazine watches over the copyright and intellectual property rights of the contents deposited on its site, under the provisions of Law 1322 and its Copyright Regulations of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.
