Access to scientific production enables knowledge generation and therefore improves science development. As a corollary of the increase in State budgets for science and technology in Uruguay, there has been an increment in the country’s scientific output. The aim of this work was: i) to identify the main scientific communication model of social science within the Social Area of the National System of Researchers (SNI) of the National Agency of Research and Innovation of Uruguay; ii) to characterize the access to the production of social scientists in Uruguay; and iii) to analyze the open access model and policies for institutional repositories, particularly in South America, as an alternative to national scientific production. We identified scientific production of social scientists registered in the National Researchers System (SNI) between the years 2009 and 2010, using the SNI curriculum vitae system (CVuy). Subsequently, we verified scientific publications occurrence (article or monographs) in the data base of University libraries system of Universidad de la República (BIUR) as well as its internet availability. The identified communication model is similar to the one expected according to the studied bibliography. However, some differences appeared which points out the need to study this model further. The access to local social science production through the BIUR system in Uruguay is not significant, since this system only includes 24% of social science production. Another 15% of this production is available through internet (open access politics was not verified), while the remaining 61% is not available under open access politics. Hence, in Uruguay it is necessary to pay in order to access to this percentage of social knowledge, which has been generated with public funds. The Uruguayan open access policies are not strong enough when compared to those of other countries the region. Currently, countries with more complex situations (a large number of universities and public research institutions) are developing centralization of their repository systems. The development of this kind of repository system is expected to be easier in Uruguay, since most social researchers of SNI belong to one public institution: Universidad de la República. This fact facilitates national public policy making for institutional repositories consolidation. |
