Centro de Investigación Entropía Educativa (Colombia)

Centro de Investigación Entropía Educativa — commonly branded simply as Entropía Educativa — is a private academic research center and open-access publishing organization based in Bogotá, Colombia. Founded in 2023, it positions itself as an access bridge for Ibero-American scholarship: its own founding narrative states that the region has first-class research talent that the global academic world does not see, not for lack of quality but for lack of access, and that the center exists to be that access. The organization operates as a hybrid of research center, scholarly publisher, editorial-services provider and training academy, all delivered online and in Spanish, English and Portuguese. On the publishing side, Entropía Educativa runs open calls (convocatorias) inviting researchers to publish articles and books with indexing in international scholarly networks. Its homepage advertises indexing and circulation through DOAJ, CORE, BASE, AmeliCA, Latindex, LatinREV and OpenDOAR, and states that ISBN and ISSN registration are included in its editorial process with no hidden costs. The center reports 58 published research works, reach into 18 countries and indexing across more than eight databases. Its journal, Revista Entropía Educativa, was indexed in CORE — described on the site as the world's largest aggregator of open-access research — during 2026, and the center was assigned a Research Organization Registry (ROR) identifier on 20 July 2026. Beyond publishing, the center sells academic services to institutions and individuals: advisory work, project evaluation and editorial services, aimed at researchers who need international visibility and at institutions seeking support. It also runs a training arm. Its flagship program is a 120-hour, fully virtual, certifiable Diploma in Artificial Intelligence as a Pedagogical Ally with NotebookLM, priced at US$150 (discounted from US$299), alongside shorter offerings such as a Digital Research Methodologies workshop (40 hours, US$65), a short course on Educational Innovation and Community (60 hours, US$90) and a seminar on Academic Writing and Publication (30 hours, US$45). The training catalog is explicitly framed around the argument that researchers who integrate AI into their methodologies publish more and are more visible. The center has built an Ibero-American institutional footprint. In 2026 it signed a framework cooperation agreement with UDUALC, the Unión de Universidades de América Latina y el Caribe, extending its regional reach. It also convenes events, including the I Congreso Internacional de Educación Digital held virtually on 22–23 January 2026 under the theme of emerging scenarios for the research and education of the future, and a Congreso de Jóvenes Investigadores scheduled for 29 May 2026. Its editorial line includes books such as 'Pedagogías digitales innovadoras' and 'Horizontes en Transformación: Innovación Educativa, Bienestar Social y Brechas Digitales en Iberoamérica', both by Rómulo Andrés Gallego Torres and published in February 2026. Entropía Educativa is a small, private, mission-driven organization rather than a listed company. Its brand identity combines the language of scholarly rigor (indexing, ISBN/ISSN, peer review, open access) with the language of access and impact ('tu trabajo merece ser visible', 'impacto real'), targeting teachers, researchers and institutions across the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking academic world.

Centro de Investigación Entropía Educativa was founded in Bogotá, Colombia, in 2023. Its own account of its origins is framed around a diagnosis of the Ibero-American academic system: the region produces first-class research talent that the global academic world does not see, not because of a lack of quality but because of a lack of access. The center was created to be that access — a bridge between researchers in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries and the international scholarly networks that confer visibility, citations and recognition. From its base in Bogotá, the organization developed a hybrid model. It operates as a research center, an open-access publisher, an editorial-services provider and a training academy, all delivered online. Its publishing arm issues open calls inviting researchers to publish articles and books with indexing in international databases, and its editorial process includes ISBN and ISSN registration. The center advertises indexing and circulation through DOAJ, CORE, BASE, AmeliCA, Latindex, LatinREV and OpenDOAR, and reports 58 published research works, reach into 18 countries and indexing across more than eight databases. The center's timeline, as published on its own site, is concentrated in 2023–2026. In 2026 it reached several institutional milestones. On 20 July 2026 it was assigned a Research Organization Registry (ROR) identifier, https://ror.org/033tac052, a step that makes the organization machine-discoverable in scholarly infrastructure. During 2026 its journal, Revista Entropía Educativa, was indexed in CORE, described by the center as the world's largest aggregator of open-access research, raising the global visibility of its publications. Also in 2026 it signed a framework cooperation agreement with UDUALC, the Unión de Universidades de América Latina y el Caribe, extending its Ibero-American reach. Its editorial output in 2026 included two books by Rómulo Andrés Gallego Torres: 'Pedagogías digitales innovadoras', exploring pedagogical methodologies in digital environments and consolidating the center's research lines in education and technology, and 'Horizontes en Transformación: Innovación Educativa, Bienestar Social y Brechas Digitales en Iberoamérica'. Both were published in February 2026. The center also convenes academic events. The I Congreso Internacional de Educación Digital took place virtually on 22–23 January 2026, from 8:00 to 17:00 Colombian time, under the theme 'Explorando los escenarios emergentes para la investigación y la educación del futuro'. A Congreso de Jóvenes Investigadores was scheduled for 29 May 2026. Alongside publishing and events, the center built a training business aimed at teachers and researchers. Its flagship program is a 120-hour, fully virtual, certifiable Diploma in Artificial Intelligence as a Pedagogical Ally with NotebookLM, priced at US$150 (reduced from US$299), which covers automated bibliographic searches, corpus analysis, high-impact material design and verifiable certification. Shorter programs include a 40-hour Digital Research Methodologies workshop (US$65), a 60-hour short course on Educational Innovation and Community (US$90) and a 30-hour seminar on Academic Writing and Publication (US$45). The training catalog is framed around the argument that researchers who integrate AI into their methodologies publish more, research better and are more visible. The center presents itself as a small, private, mission-driven organization rather than a listed company, and its public identity combines the vocabulary of scholarly rigor — indexing, ISBN/ISSN, open access, peer review — with the vocabulary of access and impact. Its stated audience spans researchers seeking indexed publication, institutions seeking advisory and editorial services, and teachers seeking training in AI, scientific writing and agile methodologies.
