  • The advent of digital technology and communication networks has led to a clear improvement in the channels of access to information and the realization of new models of communication, both personal and scientific. One of the proposals that is having the greatest impact throughout this process are the initiatives of the movement for Open Access to scientific information, which has materialized in the creation of more than 5500 repositories and more than 9000 OA journals worldwide in recent years according to data provided by Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Nowadays, almost all universities and research centres have an institutional repository as a reflection and guarantor of their entity's academic memory. The importance of this phenomenon is determined not only by the involvement of information managers - libraries, documentation centres - but also because an initiative is being developed in which, for the first time in history, researchers, financial institutions and even states are participating in order to promote and favour a freer and more open scientific communication system.
