We discuss and reflect on the special features of research data in these disciplines, and on coverage and information collected by re3data. The metadata schemas and standards most commonly used in SSH repositories are analyzed, with special emphasis on the six main repositories.

El objetivo es determinar el volumen y evolución de la producción publicada en revistas de la vía dorada del acceso abierto y en revistas de suscripción que permiten el auto-archivo en repositorios. La producción de las instituciones es recogida de SCOPUS y abarca el período 2006-2010.

cross-analysis of existing social context and open access indicators in Latin America.
Design/methodology/approach – The following parameters were used to characterize the chosen
countries. On one hand, it takes social context indicators like digital opportunity index (DOI), GDP
2007 (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) (www.oecd.org/home/0,3305,e n_2649_201185_1_1_1_1_1,00.html), scientific output 2005, and investment in science and technology
vs GDP 2004. On the other hand, it analyses open access indicators considering the two main open
access strategies – the green and gold routes – and the existing legal framework.
Findings – This paper discusses the evolution of DOI and compares with open access parameters
(numbers of repositories, number of registries in repositories, DOAJ journals and number of creative
commons licences) in the context of scientific information in developing countries in Latin America.
Research limitations/implications – This paper is not an exhaustive survey and limits the
comparison to the Latin American Countries, focalized in Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Originality/value – This paper gives an overview of the situation of three particular countries:
Brazil, Chile and Argentina, and explains the position of these countries in the open access movement
in Latin America.

Argentinean researchers regarding open access publishing in four research fi elds:
Medicine, Physics and Astronomy, Agriculture and Biological Sciences and Social Sciences
and Humanities. The study is based on the researchers’ responses to the SOAP (Study of
Open Access Publishing) survey conducted in 2010 and these results are compared with
those revealed in the worldwide SOAP study as well as with the fi ndings of a previous
study on the publication patterns of Argentina’s scientifi c community. The conclusions
and discussion caution that while open access publishing is considered benefi cial, that
consideration is not suffi cient in itself for researchers to change their publication habits.

It applies a methodology based on the analysis of the access models of journals used by researchers to publish their articles to estimate the actual and potential access to scientific research outputs. It includes the case of the field of Medicine scientific production from 2006-2010 of two Argentine national universities.

Modern societies must keep pace with the growth of knowledge. This has become crucial for sustainable development. But, it is also important to note that restrictions exist with regard to accessing knowledge, with large numbers of people in the world who are being left behind in terms of having access to knowledge. It is critical to overcome these barriers in any possible way.
