Abstract: In early December, FIL Guadalajara 2025 took place, one of the main international events in the Latin American publishing sector. Among the various professional activities at the fair, the Encuentro de Editores Universitarios Iberoamericanos (Ibero-American University Publishers Meeting) stood out, in which Thoth Open Metadata participated, bringing together university publishers, researchers and representatives of publishing infrastructures to discuss the challenges and opportunities of academic publishing in the region. Throughout the meeting, topics such as publishing communication, responsible science evaluation, multilingualism and the creation of the Ibero-American Council for University and Academic Publishing were addressed. In this context, one panel focused on presenting the results of the first phase of the Radiografías de la edición académica iberoamericana project, a collective initiative that seeks to map the production, circulation and visibility of academic books in the region.
