Therefore, the ethical and bioethical considerations that must be taken into account when deciding whether to accept an article for publication lie in the quality of the manuscripts, which must ensure scientific, social, and ethical validity, guaranteeing fair, responsible, equitable, and technically competent review procedures. Contemporary ethical standards for publications require thorough verification of content, the prevention of plagiarism, the detection of data fabrication or falsification, and the exercise of responsible authorship. These steps must be accompanied by a review of ethical approvals from Research Ethics Committees (RECs) and the upholding of the ethical principles of research established in international standards.&nbsp; Editorial ethics, as an applied dimension of bioethics and knowledge management, requires upholding the trust of the academic community by demonstrating transparency, integrity, and the correction of errors to ensure the robustness of its publications. The increasing use of generative AI will be a forward-looking aspect to consider, necessitating the establishment of specific guidelines that limit scientific output strictly based on these tools.</p> Gladys-Inés Bustamante-Cabrera Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-06-30 2026-06-30 2 2 19 25 10.38202/journal22.1 https://weeditors.org/Journals/index.php/journals/article/view/16 <p>Strengthening scholarly communication produced in peripheral contexts increasingly depends on the articulation of networked editorial communities as a strategic pathway of growing relevance. This study aimed to analyze the genesis, institutional architecture and democratic legitimacy of the Ecuadorian Network of Editors and Scientific Journals (RERCIE) as a model of collaborative editorial governance. Using a qualitative approach with a documentary design, a corpus of institutional sources was systematized, including work plans, catalogues, conference proceedings, transparency reports, webinar records and official communiqués. These materials were examined through content analysis organized into four units: institutional genesis, management axes, democratic governance and thematic agenda. The findings show that RERCIE, established in 2023 and registered with the governmental authority, has brought together 684 members across six disciplinary commissions, implemented training webinars, produced several catalogues and expressed a clear commitment to influencing national public policy. In doing so, it has configured an ecosystem of training, visibility, indexing and decision making within the national context. In conclusion, the Ecuadorian experience confirms that inter-university collective action tends to strengthen quality, ethics and editorial sovereignty within the Ibero-American open-science ecosystem.</p> Juan Cárdenas-Tapia Angel Torres-Toukoumidis Copyright (c) 2026 Juan Cárdenas-Tapia, Angel Torres-Toukoumidis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-06-30 2026-06-30 2 2 27 37 10.38202/journal22.2
