Abstract (English): Over the past three decades, scientific publishing has undergone a profound transformation thanks to digitalization and the adoption of open access, particularly the diamond-type model. This approach, widely promoted in Latin America, has democratized access to knowledge by eliminating costs for authors and readers. Universitas Odontologica has adapted to these global trends by implementing digital strategies, reinforcing its commitment to quality, equity, and international visibility. In addition, the journal has fostered regional research, consolidating itself as an academic benchmark. Artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next challenge for scientific publishing, offering opportunities to optimize editorial processes, such as the review of manuscripts and the selection of emerging topics. However, it poses ethical and methodological challenges that require a balance between technology and academic integrity. Universitas Odontologica considers AI a complementary tool that, together with human judgment, can strengthen its mission of promoting dental research in regions with limited resources. This editorial highlights the journal's achievements and future opportunities in the context of an everevolving scientific ecosystem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): En las últimas tres décadas, la publicación científica ha experimentado una transformación profunda gracias a la digitalización y la adopción del acceso abierto, particularmente el modelo tipo diamante. Este enfoque, ampliamente promovido en América Latina, ha democratizado el acceso al conocimiento al eliminar costos para autores y lectores. Universitas Odontologica se ha adaptado a estas tendencias globales mediante la implementación de estrategias digitales, reforzando su compromiso con la calidad, la equidad y la visibilidad internacional. Además, la revista ha fomentado la investigación regional, consolidándose como un referente académico. La inteligencia artificial (IA) representa el próximo desafío para la publicación científica, ofreciendo oportunidades para optimizar procesos editoriales, como la revisión de manuscritos y la selección de temas emergentes. No obstante, plantea retos éticos y metodológicos que exigen un equilibrio entre tecnología e integridad académica. Universitas Odontologica considera la IA una herramienta complementaria que, junto con el juicio humano, puede fortalecer su misión de impulsar la investigación odontológica en regiones con recursos limitados. Este editorial destaca los logros de la revista y las oportunidades futuras en el contexto de un ecosistema científico en constante evolución. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
