The OA bill passed last week by the Chamber of Deputies in Argentina, now has to be
discussed in the Senate.<br>In English, the <a href="http://www.scidev.net/en/science-communication/open-access/news/argentina-takes-steps-towards-open-access-law.html" target="_blank">news release in SciDev </a>yesterday, with a <a href="http://www.hcdn.gov.ar/dependencias/dcomisiones/periodo-130/130-326.pdf%20%20" target="_blank">link to the approved bill </a>(in Spanish)<br>
In Argentina, research is mainly State funded, as is the case in
general in Latin America (<a href="http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0018/001898/189883e.pdf">UNESCO, 2010</a>)<br><br>Main
concepts of the bill approved by the Chamber of Deputies: <br>
- State organizations and institutions belonging to the National
Science, Technology and Innovation System, will have to develop
individual or shared open access institutional repositories, to deposit
evaluated scientific and technological output<br>
- Those organizations and institutions will have to establish policies
for public access to primary research data in institutional or national
digital repositories<br>- Repositories will have to be interoperable<br>- And provide conditions for the protection of authors and institutions rights<br>
- Researchers, technologists, professors, posdoctoral/doctoral/master
students whose research is State funded will have to self-archive, or
approve deposit -of the final version of their production published or
accepted for publication and/or approved by competent authority- to be
deposited in open access institutional repository not later than 6
months after publication or approval.<br>
- Primary research data: deposited not later than 5 years<br>- In the
case of scientific and technological production and primary research
data protected by industrial propietary rights and/or previous
agreements with third parties, the authors will provide metadata and
authorize open access to metadata, and deposit the production and/or
data as soon as the industrial property protection or previous agreement
expires.<br>
- The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation from Argentina will be the authority of application of this law<br>- failure to abide by legislation will make those organizations and institutions not eligible for State funds for research<br>
