5. SciELO foundations vocation Strengthen scientific communication/ high quality journals from developing countries moving to electronic publishing in a way that addresses the chronic problems that affect scientific journals in developing countries increase visibility, accessibility and credibility of regional/local high quality journals measure usage and impact improve quality of journals 1 inclusion in the global flow of scientific information LA&C, Portugal and Spain journals. Probable universe: - 2004 up to 300 titles and about 12000 articles per year - 2007 up to 500 titles and about 20000 articles per year

6. SciELO foundations trends perspectives Model for electronic publishing SciELO Sites Network of SciELO sites 2 Methodology for electronic publishing

7. SciELO Model Methodology -2 selection, preparation, storage, preservation, publication, dissemination and evaluation of scientific publications compatible with international standards and initiatives adequate to developing countries conditions cooperative development – capacity building public domain within SciELO Network interchange w/ developing countries projects: INASP/AJOR, Latindex, etc.

8. SciELO Model - Methodology -3 main features/chracteristics interface to browse journals, search articles and indicators of usage and impact links to other information sources - author name  CvLAC/ScienTI - bibliographic reference  bibliographic record links from other information sources - author CvLAC/ScienTI  articles - bibliographic records  articles export metadata to bibliographic data bases selection criteria – entry and remain in a collection markup and load into a database

9. SciELO Model Sites application of the SciELO methodology on the operation of collections of scientific journals on the Internet/Web implemented at national, sub-regional, regional, thematic levels coordinated by – national/regional institution quality control and development by an Editorial Committee selection criteria scientific, with peer-review frequency, update and time of operation articles: títle, abstract and keywords in English standards of organization, presentation, bibliographic rules indexed in international and national databases indicators: usage, impact, links, etc. preservation – national collection: copies in CD-ROM, DVD, mirrors

10. Scielo Model Network of SciELO Sites SciELO sites from LA, C, Portugal & Spain partnership: national and international scientific and technological related institutions, scientific editors and publishers, libraries, etc. a SciELO Portal will provide access through out the decentralized network of SciELO sites formalization of the network in the near future coordination instances, certification, etc. common methodology, quality controls and indicators across the network national, local, thematic specific applications

11. Contribute to the formulation and implementation of national policies on scientific communication 3 SciELO foundations trends perspectives SciELO as an index to support scientific journals national policies and programs. In progress in Brazil and Chile integrating national, regional and international research management information systems. Ex. Plataforma Lattes, CvLAC, ScienTI, SHARED, I-Research, etc. enriching the mechanisms for the evaluation of research programs, institutions, networks and groups integrating to the national and international programs for accessing electronic journals

12. SciELO trends perspectives challenges & conclusions move towards full [only] electronic publishing articles submitted according to markup templates to facilitate load into databases, links, statistics fast publishing, low costs methodology/technology – big challenges make it easier and portable and pervasive search across the network – Web Services technology search across multilingual contents, show results ordered by relevance statistical reports – standard group of statistics, indicators, export data for further process linking - text based links and content based links Other materials: thesis, proceedings, etc.

13. improve / measure quality of scientific journals indicators of usage and impact publicly available improve quality control across SciELO Network, increasing the usage / interchange of peer reviewers and experience SciELO trends perspectives conclusions consolidate the SciELO Network Ideal network in the next 2 years Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Spain and Venezuela sustainability national programs to support scientific journals searching for/building core collections integrate SciELO in national programs of accessing electronic information sources going fully electronic to lessen costs marketing and capacity building

14. Red SciELO red de sites SciELO que obedecen a una mesma metodología, incluyendo control de calidad de los títulos SciELO trends perspectives conclusions establecer instancias de conectividad y coordinación
