The I&I journal shares the spirit of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment - DORA¹. However, the Universidad Nacional de Colombia has not yet addressed the discussion on some specific aspects defined in DORA and has not made a determination about its institutional commitment to this initiative. The I&I journal is not exempt of to the institutional guidelines of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, but is committed to open access and responsible evaluation. We also consider as fundamental the respect for the autonomy and independence of authors, readers and institutions in defining their policies and visions. Therefore, the I&I Journal does not meet one of the recent requirements demanded by Redalyc for the evaluation and inclusion of journals in its indexes² and, consequently, it has been excluded from this network. We deeply regret the inconveniences that the requirement of Redalyc and the consequent exclusion of the journal may cause to our authors.

Next, following the recommendations of the San Francisco Declaration, we present a summary of the citation indicators in different indexing and citation systems for information purposes.

Advance

The I&I journal maintains its presence in the main indexes committed to open access, as mentioned on previous occasions (^{Pavas, 2018a}; ^{Pavas and Arzola, 2018}). Besides, I&I publications remain visible through DOAJ and SciELO. Previous editorial notes have presented analyses on the possibilities of improving indicators and the rank in bibliographic indexes (^{Pavas, 2017}; ^{Pavas, 2018b}), highlighting that a clear editorial policy and continuous work can facilitate the improvement of visibility and ranking. Below are the results achieved by the Ingeniería e Investigación journal.
