He did postdoctoral here in our Faculty, with my supervisor at the time he was doing his doctorate in education. But to warn you, have librarians in Brazil involved in the practice of OPEN ACCESS. Even here in Brazil is the government agency, IBICT (Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia) that is implementing it since 2003. One of the first steps was the implementation of OJS (Open Journal System/PKP), translated here for Brazil as SEER "Sistema de Editoração Eletrônica de Revistas). Furthermore we are involved, which I am part of the Digital Preservation Project - LOCKSS - coordinated by IBICT. There are many fronts in the librarians are engaging yes. Now, regarding USP is unfortunate that a researcher speaking in public, denigrating the OPEN ACCESS.

Who pays attention to the 6000 journals vetted by Latindex? Why are people mesmerized by the Web of Science, SCOPUS and Ulrich's? - and after publishing several articles on this kind of issues, I would support Carolina's call with passion. I would simply add that local actions are wonderful, but one should never forget that their potential world impact is also great. The North Atlantic region is not the sole fount of wisdom in the scientific world, and it should not masquerade as the only site of "international" science (international here meaning "core journals" as defined by Thomson-Reuters...).<br><br>What SciELO and RedALyC are doing is probably far more significant than all the battles in Britain about a silly Finch report, because the Finch report affects only Britain and Brazil's GDP is just about to pass that of Britain, if it is not already the case.
