Academic publications face challenges in terms of scientific visibility, so the adoption of technologies such as XML-JATS is crucial for the accessibility and preservation of content. In 2016, the Marcalyc/AmeliCA tool, powered by Redalyc, a renowned indexer, was launched to facilitate XML-JATS tagging of articles. This standardization enables the interoperability and preservation of scientific content. The research describes the implementation of Marcalyc/AmeliCA in the journal Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidade (Rev.Pemo), highlighting the importance of visibility and editorial efficiency. Using a qualitative action-research methodology, the study evaluated the operational efficiency and quality of the metadata, as well as analyzing the impact on the academic community. Making Marcalyc/AmeliCA free is essential for the sustainability of journals with limited resources. At Rev.Pemo, it promoted the democratization of knowledge, reinforcing the commitment to open access.
