Abstract

BONGIOVANI, Paola C.  and  MIGUEL, Sandra E.. ¿Cuán abierta es la producción científica de los investigadores argentinos de Ciencias Sociales?. Palabra clave [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.1, pp.80-80. ISSN 1853-9912.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18539912e080.

This exploratory study analyzes the Open Access (OA) availability of the Argentine Social Science scientific production included in Scopus in 2017, estimates the cost for OA and hybrid journals and establishes if there is a correlation between journal’s APCs price and their impact. The results indicate that of a total of 1480 documents, 61% (907) are available in OA, this percentage is higher than the global average. Of this group, 95% (864) was published in OA journals that do not charge APCs. Regarding impact value SJR (Scimago Journal Rank) it was obtained that hybrid journals are mostly located in quartile Q1 and Q2, while AA journals are distributed in all quartiles, with greater concentration in Q2 and Q3. The conclusion of this study is that although the percentage of documents available OA without payment of APCs is high, achieving open access following the principles of Plan S would require Argentine financing agencies to assume significant costs with an estimate of US $ 897,222 per year, for Social Sciences outputs visible in Scopus.
