- Abstract
Aim: To determine the state of open access in emerging scientific journals from Ecuador. Methodology: A search was conducted in the regional online information system for scientific journals from Latin America, the Caribbean and Portugal (Latindex) in order to identify current online scientific journals from Ecuador. Subsequently, these pages were visited to compile data on copyright, license, and usage characteristics. Bibliometric indicators were compiled as well. Finally, the legal and economic frameworks of open access in Ecuador were analyzed. Conclusions: Open access has become a common practice in Ecuador in recent years, according to some indicators and probably due to a favorable legal framework. However, ignorance of the topic and methodologies for its implementation could be inhibiting a broader practice of open access in the country.
