Packer  \nLatin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information/ Pan American Health Organization/  \nWorld Health Organization  \nABSTRACT  \nOpen access has long emphasized access to scholarly materials. However, open access can also mean access to the means of producing visible and recognized journals. This issue is particularly important in developing and emergent countries. The SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library On-line) project, first started in Brazil and, shortly afterward, in Chile, offers a prime example of how this form of access to publishing was achieved and how open access in the traditional sense was incorporated within it. Open access has allowed more visibility, transparency, and credibility for the SciELO journals that now span over a dozen countries, three continents, and more than 600 titles.  \nConversely, SciELO incarnates the most successful and impressive example of “gold OA,” that is, open access based on publishing rather than self-archiving; at the same time, its database acts like an openaccess depository.  \nRÉSUMÉ  \nLL’accès aux documents de recherche a constitué l’essentiel de ce quel’on appelle communément l’accès libre (AL) . Pour autant, AL peut également incorporer le souci de l’accès aux moyens de publier des revues savantes visibles et reconnues. Cette question est particulièrement importante pour des pays émergents ou en développement. Le projet SciELO, lancé initialement au Brésil, rapidement suivi par le Chili, offre un exemple significatif démontrant comment cet accès à la publication fut réalisé . Il montre également comment l’AL, au sens classique du  \n112 CJHE / RCES Volume 39, No. 3, 2009  \nterme, a été incorporé dans cette stratégie générale. En offrant aux revues SciELO plus de visibilité, plus de transparence et plus decrédibilité, l’AL a trouvé sa place naturelle au sein des revues SciELO, qui se trouvent dans plus d’une douzaine de pays, sur trois continentset ayant plus de six cents titres. De la même manière, SciELO offredésormais l’exemple le plus réussi de ce que l’on appelle la voie d’or dans la langue de l’accès libre, c’est-a-dire l’accès libre obtenu par la publication de revues en accès libre plutôt que par l’auto-archivaged’articles dans des dépôts ouverts. Cela dit, les archives de SciELO fonctionne exactement comme un dépôt ouvert.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn July 2009, 11 years after being launched, the Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO) comprised a network of 15 national and 2 thematic open-access journal collections that are regularly published on the Web and included more than 600 titles, about 200,000 articles, and some 4 million granted citations.  \nThe SciELO collections are intended to index and publish the best journals from the most research-productive countries from Latin America and the Caribbean region, in addition to Portugal and Spain. In 2009, South Africa joined the network, signalling a real possibility for the network’s expansion into Africa. Its 2009 average of more than 12 million articles accessed per month positions the collections among the top-accessed, research-related websites in Ibero-America. Also, more than 85% of the journals within the SciELO collections saw their impact factor increase in 2006 and 2007, while from 1997 to 2008, the nine Brazilian journals indexed in both SciELO and Web of Science (WoS) saw their journal citation reports (JCR) impact factor increase by more than 240%. In the last three years, and for the first time, four journals from Brazil fulfilled an old dream as they reached a JCR impact factor greater than 1.0. All of these journals are published through SciELO, and its citation metrics are being used for ranking journals in severa","cbCaibx3Jl1R8wln","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibx3Jl1R8wln","pdf",72064,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Résumé\n# Introduction\n## SciELO network overview (2009)\n## Indexing, publishing goals, and access impact\n## Lost science problem and historical drivers\n## International responses and editorial perspectives","[{\"question\":\"What does the article say open access can mean beyond reading research papers?\",\"answer\":\"Open access is described as covering not only access to scholarly materials, but also access to the means of producing journals that become visible and recognized.\"},{\"question\":\"How does SciELO illustrate the “gold OA” model?\",\"answer\":\"SciELO is presented as a highly successful example of “gold OA,” where openness is achieved through journal publishing rather than self-archiving, while its database also functions like an open repository.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is SciELO considered especially important for developing or emergent countries?\",\"answer\":\"The article emphasizes that scientific journals from developing countries often struggle to gain visibility, and SciELO is positioned as a way to overcome those obstacles through locally published, recognized journals.\"}]","The SciELO Open Access - A Gold Way from the South | PDF",1792085076]
