EDITORIAL

 

The inclusion of Diversitas in the Colombian System Publindex last year, has incited a significant increase in articles of diverse institutions and countries. This development was accompanied by the diverse invitations to academic events, on the edition and the improvement of the quality of scientific journals. It is clear that we have in front of us the challenge of the virtual development of our journal, for which we counted, on the one hand, with the presentation of the website (http://www.usta.edu.co/diversitas/index.html) and on the other hand, the Management of contents-article reception, allocation of referees, arbitration, corrections and pursuit of the processes of arbitration on the part of the authors like on the part of the publisher, among others. It is evident that a better development of the electronic management of the journal comprises of an inevitable development oriented to improve the management of contents, the publishing quality and the visibility.

The visibility of the journal has been obtained by the recognition that the community has done of its quality; this has had been to a considerable increase of external articles to our institution and to a progressive consultation of our journal, eleven thousand unloading articles reported by the system psicoredalyc between January and November to us of year 2007, and more of 60% of incomes outside Colombia, which shows an increasing interna­tionalization, this without counting the incomes by other systems like Lilacs, Pepsic, Doaj, among others, and the direct ones to our web.

Part of our new challenges for the coming years, will be the inclusion in other information systems that contribute to extend our visibility and therefore, to look for the form to increase the consultation and the use of our knowledge by researcher, teachers and in general, by academic. This it is our new challenge, that without neglecting the quality that has characterized us.
