description This study systematizes an institutional experience carried out at the Autonomous University of Chiriquí (Panama) between 2022 and 2025, aimed at strengthening editorial management through the diamond open access model. A program was implemented that integrated editorial training, technical support, and regulatory development, with the goal of increasing academic visibility and democratizing scientific knowledge. A qualitative-descriptive approach was adopted, based on five stages: institutional analysis, reconstruction of activities, evidence collection, critical interpretation, and synthesis of lessons learned. The results show that, of the six (6) journals that began the program, one was indexed in the Latindex 2.0 Catalog and Dialnet. In addition, a regulation for editorial committees and a policy for open access journals were approved, consolidating regulatory progress. The discussion highlights that strengthening editorial processes in resource-limited contexts requires institutional leadership, team professionalization, and sustained support, despite obstacles such as reliance on volunteer work and limited technical infrastructure. It is concluded that diamond open access represents a relevant path for Global South universities committed to science as a common good. This experience helps identify key elements that could guide future editorial strategies in institutions with similar structural conditions.

ARK CAICYT: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18511740/67fwgptdl Este estudio sistematiza una experiencia institucional desarrollada en la Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí (Panamá) entre 2022 y 2025, orientada al fortalecimiento de la gestión editorial mediante el modelo de acceso abierto diamante. Se implementó un programa que integró formación editorial, acompañamiento técnico y construcción normativa, con el propósito de ampliar la visibilidad académica y democratizar el conocimiento científico. Se adoptó un enfoque cualitativo-descriptivo basado en cinco etapas: análisis institucional, reconstrucción de actividades, recolección de evidencias, interpretación crítica y síntesis de aprendizajes. Los resultados muestran que, de seis (6) revistas que iniciaron el programa, una logró ser indexada en el Catálogo 2.0 Latindex y Dialnet; además, se aprobó un reglamento para comités editoriales y una política para revistas en acceso abierto, consolidando avances normativos. La discusión destaca que el fortalecimiento editorial en contextos con recursos limitados requiere liderazgo institucional, profesionalización de los equipos y apoyo sostenido, a pesar de obstáculos como la dependencia del voluntariado y la limitada infraestructura técnica. Se concluye que el acceso abierto diamante es una vía pertinente para las universidades del sur global comprometidas con la ciencia como bien común. Esta experiencia permite identificar elementos claves que podrían orientar futuras estrategias editoriales en instituciones con condiciones similares.
