FLORES CUESTA, Gilda e SANCHEZ TARRAGO, Nancy. Institutional repositories: analysis of the international situation and general principles for Cuba. ACIMED [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.6, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1024-9435.
The development and growth of the strategies of what is known as the Open Access Movement represent a fundamental benefit for the scientific communication worldwide. Institutional repositories, which treasure the scientific production of the members of a given scientific or academic institution, are the best way to elevate the visibility and impact of research. Through the documental analysis of national and international bibliography, interviews to experts and the documental analysis of institutional repositories all over the world, it was possible to characterize this kind of repositories and to identify their most important elements, weaknesses and strengths. The analysis of such basic aspects allowed us to propose actions to minimize the risk associated with the implementation of repositories in Cuba and to enunciate some general principles useful for their construction.
