Editorial

Scientific dissemination can be defined as the set of activities aimed at sharing scientific knowledge. This knowledge is usually produced through teamwork: it is the result of a group of researchers working together to solve a problem or to deepen their understanding of theories that may be of interest to a specific sector, group, or society as a whole. Today, there are various media and an ever-growing range of formats for the dissemination of science, including books, magazines, newspapers, radio stations, television channels, websites, social and professional networks, emails, and more. However, specialized journals continue to hold significant relevance within the scientific community. For this reason, this editorial is dedicated to reviewing the ways in which specialized journals are financed. [1]. The publication of scientific and academic journals is one of the fundamental pillars of the global knowledge ecosystem. Since its beginnings in the 17th century, with the launch of publications such as Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1665, the dissemination of scientific knowledge has undergone continuous evolution, adapting to technological, economic, and social changes. In recent decades, this evolution has been shaped by major shifts in funding and access models, particularly with the rise of open access, digitization, and the consolidation of the publishing market in the hands of large corporations.
