Open Access in Latin America
AL&C tiene una presencia fuerte en repositorios
internacionales y regionales de revistas de acceso
abierto, lo cual aumenta la visibilidad de las revistas de
la región y la posibilidad de desarrollar redes
académicas de colaboración.
Los directorios regionales como LATINDEX y los
repositorios/ índices como RedALyC y SciELO han
tenido un gran impacto sobre el desarrollo de las
revistas de AL&C.

Free or open access?
• In Mexico 84 % of the journal sites are free (libre y
gratuito), but only 40% declare themselves OA.
• In LA&C the figures vary between 51% and 98%
according to the definition.
• The ‘free-access’ journals manage various levels of
restriction on the use of the contents (derechos
reservados).
