<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>From the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNlGabHIHQE&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">20 minutes video on "Open Access in Latin America"</a></div><div><br>
</div>
<div>- only 5% of Latin America and the Caribbean quality journals (as identified by Latindex) are in WoS, and 15% in Scopus<br>
<div>- early adoption in the region of OA publishing of journals with no APC´s: in SciELO, Redalyc and university journal portals, e.g.: university journal portals in OJS with more than 100 journals each are University of Sao Paulo, UNAM in México and University of Chile</div>
<div>- regional initiative for national systems of digital repositories: La Referencia </div>
<div>- national OA legislation approved in 2013 in Peru, Argentina, México: still in Congress in Brazil: in all cases requires creation of national and institutional OA digital repositories for gov-funded research. </div>
<div><br></div><div>From a developing region perspective:<br></div><div>- APC´s are a new enclosure, this time from within OA</div><div>- We could build, as a global commons, a "basic" OA global ecosystem based on shared OA digital repositories </div>
<div>- and on top of that, payed value-added services can be charged to who can pay for them</div><div>- In the last minutes of the video I cite John Willinksy at a recent event on open science in Poland, when he says that we need to think who is being included and who is being excluded in the scholarly communication system we design</div>
<div><br></div><div>To manage open access as a commons within the global scholarly community may perhaps be less utopian than thinking we can cover the costs of a global OA APC model with full participation of developing regions.</div>
