As políticas de acesso aberto: história, promessas e tensões

Abstract

In Europe and Portugal, the Open Access movement has reached significant growth, with the development of institutional repositories and increasing initiatives that encourage open access publication. Most recently, these practices have been incorporated into science and technology policies by binding them to funding programs for research and innovation. This article seeks to recall the historical trajectory behind open access, currently in convergence with the discourses of citizen and open science. Thus, it is provided contextualization on the emergence and evolution of open access and its assumptions by science and technology policies. While addressing the challenges facing its implementation, contradictions have arisen, in view of the publishing market and the need to preserve ongoing business models. It is provided to the reader here a guiding reflection, discussing the implications that open access brings to academic publishing and data management.
