How the tool works
Data Source
Diamond Future provides a list of diamond open access scientific journals built from the dataset 'Cartografía de revistas diamante indexadas' (Cartography of Indexed Diamond Journals), developed by María Fernanda Beigel and Manuel Bruccoleri Ochoa
This dataset brings together academic journals identified through a selection and manual curation process, with the objective of offering a reliable source for the exploration and analysis of the diamond publishing ecosystem

What is HERA?
For each journal included in the catalog, Diamond Future also provides a direct link to its corresponding report in HERA, allowing access to complementary information regarding its technical status and indexing.
HERA (Tool for the Enrichment of Academic Resources) is a diagnostic and interoperability platform that evaluates compliance with technical, editorial, and open access standards in scientific journals. Based on an ISSN, HERA consolidates data from multiple international sources and indexes to offer an overview of the publication’s current status
HERA reports provide a centralized way to check the metadata quality of each journal, its access policies, and its presence in indexing systems, facilitating analysis, continuous improvement, and exploration tasks within the academic publishing ecosystem.
Subject/human Indexing (Indexación) vs Database indexing (Indización)
Clarification Note: "Subject/human Indexing" vs. "database indexing"
An important note regarding the term "indexación": in English, a single term is used: indexing, whereas in Spanish, two distinct terms are utilized (indexación and indización).
In Spanish, the term indización is applied to the library and documentary field, referring to the intellectual process of analyzing a document and assigning metadata or controlled terms to it. In this context, English specifies it as subject indexing (indización por materias) or human indexing (when performed by a professional). The assigned terms are known as descriptors or subject headings.
On the other hand, the term indexación in Spanish refers to the automated process where software (for example, a database system) processes and stores text to make it retrievable. In this case, English uses: indexing (or more specifically, search engine indexing / database indexing).

Indexation systems
Diamond Future provides detailed information of journals indexed in the collections AJOL, Biblat, DOAJ, Latindex, RedALyC, SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science.
We start from the premise that a journal indexed in two or more collections with admission evaluation is a guarantee of editorial and academic quality. Latin American indexing systems share common admission criteria that prioritize journals run by scientific communities. All of them implement quality assessments and indexation based on numerous criteria, periodically reviewed, without using citation indicators or the impact factor.
These institutional structures have played a central role in the digitalization and professionalization of academic publishing in the region. An important feature of regionally indexed journals is the experience of senior autonomous management and a high quality of publication metadata.
The tool also includes the bibliographic databases Web of Science and Scopus, which have been the most influential and traditionally used for journal selection, research evaluation and impact metrics analysis.

AJOL
AJOL is an academic publication platform that provides access to more than 700 scientific journals from Africa. Promotes African research through open access, facilitating the global diffusion of the continent’s academic output.
Biblat
Biblat (Bibliografía Latinoamericana) is a portal specialized in scientific and academic journals published in Latin America and the Caribbean that offers bibliographic references in more than 3,000 indexed titles, access to the full text of articles published in open access journals and bibliometric indicators.
DOAJ
DOAJ is a directory of journals with guaranteed open access. It provides filters to find journals by discipline, geography and language. DOAJ verifies that journals meet standards of editorial transparency, genuine open access, and responsible publishing practices.
Latindex
Latindex Catálogo 2.0 es un sistema de información en línea que cataloga revistas científicas, seriadas y otras publicaciones del área Iberoamericana. Proporciona un directorio de revistas de alto nivel académico e incluye análisis de características de calidad editorial de cada publicación. Latindex facilita el descubrimiento y la indexación de revistas de América Latina, España y Portugal.
RedALyC
RedALyC is an indexing system that integrates high-quality scientific and editorial journals from any region into its index. The journals that are there respond to the non-profit publishing model and have editorial and scientific quality based on peer review, an Open Access policy without costs per publication or processing (APC) and the vision to surpass the current evaluation of science based on metrics like the Impact Factor.
SciELO
SciELO is an infrastructure for open access research communication that consists of 16 national collections based in a public body or ministry of science. The SciELO network includes: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Spain, West Indies, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, South Africa and Uruguay. Its publication model is implemented in a decentralized manner and has been continuously improved in cooperation with the countries of the network, together with organizations responsible for standards of scientific communication, best operational and ethical practices and experts in research communication.
Scopus
Scopus is the bibliographic and citation database owned by Elsevier. Contains summaries, references, and metrics from millions of peer-reviewed scientific papers, books, and conference proceedings.
Web of Science
Web of Science is a proprietary platform that provides citation indexes and bibliometric analysis of global research. Covers selected journals from all disciplines and is widely used for evaluation by researchers and institutions.
