Scholarly Communication Today Dissatisfaction with the established scholarly communication system; Drastic increases in subscription prices; Delays between results and their actual publication; Copyright; Concentration of scientific knowledge in the northern hemisphere; Cognitive exclusion; New information and communication technologies provide alternatives to facilitate the access to Scholarly Information; Movement of Open Access to knowledge.

Open Archives Model In 1991 the National Laboratory of Los Alamos launched the repository ArXiv; Other repositories: CogPrints - Psychology, Linguistics and Neuroscience; NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library); NDLTD (Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations) – 170 countries; RePEc (Research Papers in Economics), 54 countries; 1999 – Santa Fe – Establishment of OAI – Open Archives Initiative; The goal of the OAI is to contribute in a concrete manner to the transformation of scholarly communication. After the set up of OAI, many open source software packages appeared (OJS, E-prints, OCS, Dspace, Fedora, CDSware...)

Functional Schema of OA Data Providers Harvest via OAI-PMH Service Providers

Advantages of using OA in the context of Open Access Quick dissemination of scholarly information self- archived in the repositories Improving the visibility of papers self-archived in the repositories High impact factor Open access => quick dissemination => better visibility => possibility of high impact factor Better interoperability between repositories OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting )
