Institutions
The Autonomous University of Guerrero, registered under number 1703107 in the National Registry of Scientific and Technological Institutions and Companies (RENIECyT) of the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (SECIHTI), which promotes and fosters research content in Mexico and the Latin American region, defines its collaborative practices regarding the knowledge and dissemination of research results according to the following guidelines:
1. Open Access (OA) Philosophy.
The Publication Ethics Committee, the Directory of Open Access Journals, the Association of Open Access Scholarly Publishers, and the World Association of Medical Publishers are academic organizations that have seen an increase in the number and a wide range in the quality of membership applications. Our organizations have collaborated to identify transparency principles and best practices for scholarly publishing and to clarify that these principles form the basis of the criteria by which COPE, DOAJ, and OASPA assess eligibility for membership, and are part of the criteria by which WAME evaluates membership applications. Each organization also has its own additional criteria used when evaluating applications. The organizations will not share lists of publishers or journals that have not demonstrated compliance with the transparency and best practice criteria.

Budapest Declaration
An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make an unprecedented public good possible. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of research and knowledge. The new technology is the Internet. The public good they make possible is the worldwide electronic distribution of peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, professors, students, and other curious minds. Removing barriers to accessing this literature will accelerate research, enrich education, share learning between the rich and the poor, and make this literature as useful as possible.
For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call open access, has so far been limited to small portions of journal literature. But even in these limited collections, many different initiatives have shown that open access is economically feasible, that it gives readers extraordinary power to find and make use of relevant literature, and that it offers authors and their works vast and measurable new visibility, readers, and impact. To ensure these benefits for everyone, we call upon all interested institutions and individuals to help open access to the rest of this literature and remove the barriers, especially price barriers, that stand in the way. The more people who join the effort to promote this cause, the sooner we will all enjoy the benefits of open access.

3. Bethesda Declaration
An open access publication is one that meets the following two conditions:
The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, and perpetual right of access, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit, and publicly display the work and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution, as well as the right to make small quantities of printed copies for personal use.
A complete version of the work and all accompanying materials, including a copy of the permission as indicated above, in a suitable standard electronic format, is deposited immediately after initial publication in at least one online repository supported by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving (for the biomedical sciences, PubMed Central is such a repository).
