Abstract

BABINI, Dominique. La comunicación científica en América Latina es abierta, colaborativa y no comercial. Desafíos para las revistas. Palabra clave [online]. 2019, vol.8, n.2, pp.5-6. ISSN 1853-9912.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18539912e065.

Latin America, where research and journals that publish research results, are both activities that are mainly publicly-funded, is the region of the world with the greatest adoption of open access, to scientific journals, highlighting scholarly-led regional initiatives such as Latindex, SciELO, Redalyc, which are complemented by national and institutional open access journal portals, all collaborative non-commercial initiatives. In this article, and based on CLACSO's experience in the region and its participation in international debates on the future of open access scholarly communications, views are shared on some of the challenges that this collaborative open access model poses to journals published in countries of Latin America. As is the case of open science requirements for journals, the need to have open access indicators so that evaluation processes can assess the contributions from research output published in journals within the region, and the urgency to strengthen collaborative non-commercial models to manage open access and its indicators.

Keywords : Scientific communications; Journals; Open access; Open science; Evaluation indicators; Research evaluation.
