COAR-SPARC CONFERENCE
Porto, 14-16  April , 2015
2102.000 researchers and technologists.
(Ratio: 3 researchers per 1000 of the EAP 
Economically Active Population) 
Science Institutions of Argentina
• 50 NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES
• 60 PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES
• 11 R+D National Institutions + CONICET
(National Council of Research)
• NGOs + other civil foundations of
Research
3Starting diagnosis (2009) of publications and primary 
research data
• Partial or total ignorance of Institutions of what their own researchers
were publishing.
• Dispersion of scientific data across the country.
• Lack of free access to what is published and its support on primary
data.
• Absence of common criteria for data management in the scientific
and academic community.
The need for a national vision on access to research outputs.

International support to build SNRD portal
9Main issues of the Law 26.899
 Scientific Institutions: Create interoperable repositories with research
results and outputs
 Researchers: Deposit articles, reports, communications and thesis (6
months) as well as primary data (5 years) in OA repositories.
 Financing Agencies: Funding research projects should include plans for
releasing data and publications.
10
Pendings issues, current challenges
 Universal OA?
 Quality of OA publications and data?
 Access + Reusability of data?
 New roles of libraries and librarians to add value to OA literature + data?
 Sustainability of Repositories?
 Further training to researchers?
 New disciplinary arrangements concerning data and metadata formats?
 Linking reaserchers carreer to OA publication?
11
Some keys to OA success
Political support: policies, institutional mandates, 
promotion of national networks and $$$ (not too 
much but enough)
Training, advocacy, awareness campaigns, 
marketing, measuring effects and impact of 
repositories on researchers lives and work.
Regional & International support: LA Referencia’s 
and COAR’s communities.
