Recently the scientific community has been the subject of much controversy due to some facts that have arisen. One was the withdrawal of journals by the Web of Science for not carrying out adequate peer review processes and publishing articles lacking in scientific rigor in exchange for high publication costs. In fact, it can be verified that it is common to find works that appear accepted just two or three days after the date of receipt, making it doubtful of an adequate review. Many advocate “Open Science” as the freedom to communicate results without the consent of referees or the sometimes very rigorous requirements of scientific journals. Another example case was that of a researcher sanctioned by his University for considering the excessive authorship of works published by the said individual in a very short time, which seems to be doubtful.Recientemente la comunidad científica ha sido objeto de mucha controversia por algunos hechos que se han suscitado como el retiro de revistas por parte de un reconocido índice internacional (Web of Science/Clarivate). Las razones expuestas fueron que no estaban llevando a cabo adecuados procesos de revisión por pares y publicando artículos carentes de rigor científico a cambio de altos costos de publicación, la mayoría pagados con dinero público.
