Call for volume 2 (2027). Submissions until 30 September 2027.
Indexing
Current status
Revista Saberes Internacionales began publishing in October 2026 with volume 1, issue 1 (July–December 2026). This issue receives articles on a continuous basis until it closes on 26 December. The journal is not yet listed in any index or database. This page is updated with the actual status of each application, and no application in progress is announced as granted.
Open metadata
The journal exposes its metadata through the OAI-PMH protocol, in Dublin Core, MARC and JATS, so that any aggregator can harvest them. The Google Scholar and Dublin Core modules add to each article the tags those services read. Harvestable metadata do not amount to being indexed: they are what makes an application possible.
Requirements of each database
These are the requirements that currently stand between the journal and each database, taken from their official documents on 21 October 2026.

Planned order
The first step is the ISSN, which every database requires. With it and ten published articles, the journal will apply to DOAJ and Latindex in 2027. Redalyc requires one year of existence, and SciELO Ecuador four issues plus the two previous listings; Scopus and Web of Science will follow once there is a verifiable record.
The policies that depend on the journal itself are already published: peer review with a public review form, ethics following COPE, Turnitin checks, CC BY 4.0 license, preservation and a declared publication frequency.
