  • The ever increasing cost of scientific publications, especially in the field of STM, and the difficulties in the access, due to publishers conditions and budgetary constraints on the side of libraries, have determined what is known as the scholarly communication crisis. The open access movement has produced a change in this process, causing an enourmous impact in the way publicly funded research is disseminated., thus linking an old tradition -the wish of scientists to transmit their findings- with a new technology –Internet-. Institutional repositories, which have emerged in the last five years, have an important role to play in this respect, offering many advantages both for the authors.and for the institutions. These have an undeniable opportunity to help in the process of communicating their research findings, stating policies and encouraging authors to self-archive their writings. They will both gain prestige and visibility, as some research surveys in the UK demonstrate.
