[A New Era for the Scientific Journals of the IMSS]
Abstract
Over the past decade, the Revista Médica del IMSS has established itself as a cornerstone in the dissemination of scientific health knowledge, standing out for its open-access model with no charges for authors or readers. In response to the evolving editorial landscape and equity challenges in science, the journal adopted Open Journal Systems version 3.4, enhancing its efficiency, visibility, and global integration. This modernization has significantly increased its impact, with millions of views, ranking it among the most-read publications in Latin America. With an editorial policy grounded in ethics, transparency, and quality, the journal reaffirms IMSS's commitment to open, equitable, and socially valuable science. This inclusive publishing model has positioned the Institute as a regional leader in the management and democratization of biomedical knowledge.
En la última década, la Revista Médica del IMSS se ha consolidado como un pilar en la difusión del conocimiento científico en salud, destacando por su modelo de acceso abierto, sin costo para autores ni lectores.

Esta modernización ha permitido consolidar su impacto, alcanzando millones de consultas y posicionándose como una de las publicaciones más leídas de América Latina. Con una política editorial basada en la ética, la transparencia y la calidad, la Revista reafirma el compromiso del IMSS con una ciencia abierta, equitativa y socialmente útil. Este modelo editorial inclusivo ha posicionado al Instituto como un referente regional en la gestión y democratización del conocimiento biomédico.
