Multilingual Metadata
REB&S promotes multilingual discoverability by requesting metadata in both English and Spanish, including title, abstract, and keywords. Authors are responsible for providing accurate metadata during submission, and the editorial team may review or adjust metadata for consistency, clarity, and indexing purposes.
Metadata Management and Quality
Metadata are entered and managed through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. The editorial team reviews metadata during the editorial and production processes to ensure that the information is complete, consistent, and aligned with the published version of the article.
Authors must ensure that names, affiliations, ORCID iDs, funding information, and other metadata are accurate at the time of submission and final approval.
Interoperability and Dissemination
REB&S uses OJS tools and metadata standards to facilitate the visibility, retrieval, and dissemination of its published content. Metadata may be shared with indexing services, academic search engines, repositories, directories, and persistent identifier registration systems, including platforms such as CrossRef and other academic databases where the journal is indexed, registered, or available.
Corrections to Metadata
If an error is identified in the metadata of a published article, authors or readers may contact the editorial team. Corrections will be reviewed and, when appropriate, updated in the journal platform and related metadata records.
Access and Reuse
Metadata associated with REB&S publications are made available to support academic discovery, citation, indexing, and dissemination. The use and reuse of metadata must preserve the accuracy of the original bibliographic information and properly identify the journal and published article.
