[Kathleen Shearer]

Members of this list may be interested in reading a new interview published by COAR.

The interview is with the Dr. Alejandor Ceccatto, Secretary of Scientific and Technological Articulation from the Argentinian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.  Dr Ceccatto was responsible for spearheading the new Open Access law in Argentina and this interview offers greater insight into the legislation and the network of repositories that has been established to support the law.

"On November 13th, 2013, The Argentinian Senate unanimously passed legislation requiring Open Access to publicly funded research outputs.  A few days later, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MINCyT) officially launched their national repository network, using the D-NET platform developed by the European DRIVER Project... With these developments, Argentina has become a world leader in Open Access and serves as an outstanding example for other countries, both in Latin America and the rest of the world."
