On this occasion we would like to report that in regard to collaborative agreements, with the publication of the previous issue, cooperation activities between Acta Colombiana de Psicología and the international publications, Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta y Revista Latinoamericana de Medicina Conductual, have come to an end. Therefore, we thank those publications since these activities or agreements have allowed the journals to create, reinforce and strengthen academic networks between authors and referees, as well as to increase their dissemination coverage, leading to greater visibility and increased citation statistics, among many other benefits that are obtained by networking. However, as reported in this space in the past, other collaborative agreements currently exist with various national and international journals and we shall continue establishing this type of link, particularly for the creation and strengthening of networks and achieving inter- institutional relations as well as for gaining visibility and dynamic exchanges, and increasing the production of knowledge and its advantage in solving problems characteristic of the psychology field.

Moreover, in this issue of Acta Colombiana de Psicología readers are provided with international papers such as those from the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (Argentina), Universidad del Biobío (Chile), Universidad de Talca (Chile) and the Universidad Católica de Valencia (Spain). There are also articles from Mexico, from Universidad del Valle de Atemajac - Campus León, Centro de Integración Juvenil, AC and Universidad Autónoma de Mexico. On the other hand, there are papers from the Universidad de Madeira (Portugal) and the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain). Similarly, national papers from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Cali, Universidad de los Andes, Universidad de Antioquia and Universidad del Rosario.

As usual, on behalf of Acta Colombiana de Psicología, we thank all authors of papers, groups and research networks, referees, members of the Editorial Board, Scientific Committee, the Editorial Council, and the team of translators, methodological and statistical, technical and style reviewers, for their contribution to the good academic and scientific level of the journal. Likewise, we invite interested authors to send their publications and book reviews to be nominated for publication in Acta.
