Reflexión sobre la publicación académica y el acceso abierto a partir de la experiencia de RedALyC

Abstract

The present work presents a series of reflexions regarding the challenges and advances in scientific publications in Open Access, throughout the last sixteen years, in Latin America. With a point of view based on the experience of the conceptual and technological development in Redalyc, the authors share their proposals to build a platform for the latin american academic publishing in Social Sciences and Humanities, mainly in non commercial, collaborative, sustainable and protected Open Access. They also emphasize four relevant subjects: Latin America’s publishing model, evaluations systems, the digital era and the academic communication, and Open Access and sustainability.
