This paper analyses the advances of open access to scientific literature in Uruguay during the last ten years. It is based on an exploratory quantitative study of published articles and a review of local initiatives. Institutional policies, which are not yet consolidated and have not reached a national level, are identified. The availability and evolution of open access to Uruguayan researchers´ publications in the WOS is studied, finding 37,3% of papers immediately available and consistent growth, based on the golden route. Editorial policies in Sherpa Romeo are analyzed for journals, finding 50.7% of not open access articles that could be archived in institutional repositories. Both categories added show that 88% of considered production is or could be available in open access. The conclusions highlight a need to develop additional research around open access in Uruguay.

Keywords : Open Access; Uruguay.
