Repositorios públicos frente a la mercantilización de la Ciencia: apostando por la ciencia abierta y la evaluación cualitativa

Abstract

A reflection is carried out on the need to contribute and disseminate financial research with public funds for the medium of institutional repositories, the projects also serve as a method of evaluating science, thus eliminating the tyranny of the impact factor as Method of Evaluation of the transmission of knowledge, and incorporation of public policies with transparency that modify the incursion of private platforms (mainly WoS and Scopus) as elements for the evaluation of science. The part of the premise that the authors disseminate the contents in the restricted access journals (derived from the lack of approval of the documentation) of the public repositories as a quality and merit evidence tool, for which an alternative method is provided in the framework of the philosophy of open access, for assessment and, especially, the dissemination of research. For this purpose, the validity of the repositories and the necessary changes in the autonomous, state and European sphere are analyzed.
