Editorial

Recent publications from Journal Citation Report (JCR -0.36) and Science Journal Rank (SJR - 0,32) point out a rise in both senses for the "Revista Latinoamericana de Psicología", this, comparing to previous years, which should be emphasized in at least two senses. First, it refects the success of publishing measures such as open access for articles since 2008; and the effort made for admission to the Latin American Network of knowledge as Redalyc and Scielo which favored mass access to the RLP articles among scientific community.

On the other hand, the consolidation of a regional scientific community which advances toward a bigger integration and visibility in the world panorama of science, as observed in the inclusion of all scientific publications included in Scielo, which will also make part of the Knowledge network like a recognition to a regional scientific collaborative effort which every time add more magazines to this Latin American discipline forum.

Although these advances are considerably important, it is worthwhile to make echo from another analysis type which mark important courses for the editorial team. In a recent publication, Gómez - Morales, Jaraba-Barrios, Guerrero-Castro and López-López (2012) point out with great precision and rigorous methodology, several aspects which the RLP hopes to respond without changes implication in the high scientific quality which has characterized this publication in their more than 40 years. On one hand the editorial development of collaborative character between institutions of diferent countries, like the consolidation of a regional project in which to the international non-Hispanic publications which are the main source of authors researches, join the works of high scientific quality that are published in other Latin-American journal of publication which take up again discipline, social, and methodological topics that characterize the region and should be included in the calendar of global psychology.

Finally, it is critical to point that the above partial achievements and the accomplishment of the pending purposes is not possible without the support of all people working with the RLP, authors, reviewers, editors, members of the scientific committee, administrative staff, among others, among this panorama we expect to continue rely on the unconditional support they have always given to the magazine to go on the disciplinary project of a Latin American psychology which is robust, thoughtful, consolidated and contributor to the global outlook of psychology.
