Read more about Open Call – Join the Biblios Editorial Team!For 2026, we want to invite researchers to discuss the present and future of scientific journals. Contemporary scientific production has undergone transformations that affect not only the modes of knowledge production, but also the processes of evaluation, circulation, and legitimization of science itself. The rise of preprints, the use of generative artificial intelligence in various stages of scientific work, open science models, and audience fragmentation are shaping the dynamics of scientific communication.
In this context, journals face perhaps their greatest challenge since the consolidation of the scientific communication system in the 20th century: integrating new technologies without losing rigor, rethinking models of financing and sustainability, responding to pressure from commercial publishing conglomerates for gold open access, coexisting with a multiplicity of metrics, and dealing with the correction of scientific records expressed through retractions. Added to all this is the need to ensure the preservation of scientific memory. Thus, this thematic edition, “(Re)configurations of Scientific Journals: Between Tradition and Transformation,” seeks to bring together original research and critical reflections that discuss the directions, continuities, and ruptures in the field of contemporary scientific communication.

Presentation
In this special issue, we invite readers to explore a broad overview of the opportunities and challenges facing the management, production and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the contemporary era. In an increasingly interconnected and digitized world, science is at a unique moment of transformation and evolution.
The management of scientific knowledge faces multiple significant challenges, ranging from ethical issues, to making decisions about sharing, aspects of movements to open up scientific practice and intellectual property, among others. This situation highlights the need to develop robust and innovative strategies for generating, storing, analysing and sharing scientific knowledge.
In the context of scientific production, we are seeing a growing trend towards transnational interdisciplinary collaboration, resulting in significant advances in all areas of knowledge. These collaborations, however, require an efficient communication infrastructure and integration mechanisms between areas of knowledge and different institutions. There are challenges in operationalizing collaborative and transdisciplinary scientific work, since it is necessary to consider the specificities of the different areas of knowledge and their processes for generating knowledge.
The dissemination of scientific knowledge also faces unique challenges in the digital age. While the internet and digital platforms offer unprecedented means for the rapid dissemination of information, they are also conducive to the spread of misinformation. This highlights the importance of developing effective strategies to guarantee the quality and veracity of scientific information made available to the public. It is also necessary to think about training scientific actors to disseminate their research to the lay public, using the current informal communication channels available.
Along the same lines, the complexity of the apparatus necessary for scientific research is confronted by Artificial Intelligence (AI) which, in the face of its widespread use, reveals new opportunities and intriguing challenges, providing automated tasks such as writing, translation, content comparison, among others. Questions arise about the use of AI in scientific work and current regulations on ethics and academic integrity do not always take into account the new formats of automation in the process of generating information. This issue is dedicated to presenting original articles, review articles, and case studies that address these fundamental questions. We encourage readers to participate in this discussion to better understand the current dynamics of the scientific world and the future directions of this evolving field.
Papers should preferably be related to one or more of the following themes:
