Ibero-American University Publishers Meeting
The Value of Ibero-American Networks in Recognizing Spanish and Portuguese as Languages of Science
Understanding the importance of entities, groups, and associations in our society allows us to grasp the reasons for their existence and helps us define mechanisms to strengthen them, in order to protect this form of collaborative work. Networks make it possible to envision joint projects that encourage developments benefiting all members as well as society as a whole. Teamwork leads to achievements that would be impossible to attain individually. The Ibero-American academic publishing community believes it is a responsibility to promote and strengthen network-based collaboration.
