Our key research question is: to what extent are these practices being adopted by LA&C journals? In order to address this question, we conducted a survey with a sample of LA&C journals listed on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) database. The results reveal that many journals are somewhat aware of or informed about most of open science practices being discussed, but just some of them have already successfully adopted those practices.http://elpub.episciences.org/4621/pdfopen scienceopen access journalsopen accessLatin America and the CaribbeanDirectory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)[SHS.INFO]Humanities and Social Sciences/Library and information sciences
