EDITORIAL

Two years ago a new political editorial was settled in this magazine. Since the participation in different events of International character, maily those organized by the Unión Latinoamericana de Entidades de Psicología (ULAPSI) and by the Federacion Iberoamericana de Asociaciones de Psicología (FIAP), it was recognized the relevance of giving the scientific production a visibility for the intelectual Iberoamerican psychologists.

One of the most operative means to achieve that goal is the inclusion of the magazines of the speciality in the catalogues and in the international data bases. This is how LIBERABIT raised its editorial quality to satisfy the exigences of the scientific community; so in this development it hopes to positionate in the group of the best publications of its gender.

On this line of development, the number of integrants of the scientific comitee is raised, national and international, as to point to the process of decision of the proposed articles for the publication. In the same way, besides the phisycal magazine, from volume 13 (2007) it is also in electronic format, full text, through the "Red de Revistas de America Latina y el Caribe" (Redalyc)

Going on with this effort, we will get a new challenge from next year: the edition of LIBERABIT every six months. In this way, we count on the assistance of the Dean of Communication Science, Tourism and Psychology Faculty.

On the other side, and to fulfill our purposes pointed, this volume includes articles of some psychologists who belong to this editorial house, but also with proposal for the community intervention.
