El derecho al conocimiento científico

Abstract

The scientific community is experiencing critical and unthinkable times, particularly regarding research traditionally funded by the United States of America federal government. Restrictions on work methods, particularly for researchers working with diverse populations (e.g., how the community is named, how data is collected, and how results and recommendations are presented), are affecting the sustainability of research. This, in turn, impacts the dissemination of research in scientific publications. The Puerto Rican Journal of Psychology is committed to the research community and the community at large by publishing research conducted with diverse populations using the language and theoretical framework that best reflects the reality of the community it serves and seeks to understand. We guarantee free access to scientific information intended to inform and educate our communities. Free access to knowledge is not a privilege but a right.
