Abstract

Over the past decade, the Revista Médica del IMSS has established itself as a cornerstone in the dissemination of scientific health knowledge, standing out for its open-access model with no charges for authors or readers. In response to the evolving editorial landscape and equity challenges in science, the journal adopted Open Journal Systems version 3.4, enhancing its efficiency, visibility, and global integration. This modernization has significantly increased its impact, with millions of views, ranking it among the most-read publications in Latin America.


With an editorial policy grounded in ethics, transparency, and quality, the journal reaffirms IMSS’s commitment to open, equitable, and socially valuable science. This inclusive publishing model has positioned the Institute as a regional leader in the management and democratization of biomedical knowledge.
