Presentation:
Towards a Latin American non-commercial Open Science ecosystem in the hands of academia: The articulation of the green and diamond routes
The Latin American region has a marked history of open circulation of scientific knowledge in control and ownership of the academic sector, sustained by public resources.
Scientific publishing, for example, has a tradition of being open to readers and authors, and is strengthened by various initiatives, infrastructures, platforms, and other collective non-commercial Open Access (diamond route) efforts throughout the region.
For its part, the proliferation of self-archiving in institutional and thematic repositories, the so-called green route, has allowed books, theses, educational resources and many other formats of knowledge communication to increase their visibility in Open Access. Likewise, both routes and various components that allow their articulation, such as CRIS systems, can support the change in the culture of research evaluation.
The potential that this articulation entails in an ecosystem that impacts the rest of the pillars of Open Science is the alternative to the commercial market. The latter, a model where the circulation and valuation of science is carried out based on rules and concepts of the commercial sector. The ecosystem that makes up the green and diamond roads of OA carries by definition fundamental values to advance scientific communication, such as inclusion, multilingualism, diversity and participation as well as being a sustainable way and in control of the academic and scientific community.
