It is in this context where “open access” is born, to allow free access to readers through digital and online versions
of scientific articles. The underlying premise is that information can be used by several sources as long as a legitimate
and non-commercial use of the work is made and the authorship of its creators is recognized (Parada, 2005). This
initiative was later expanded to open educational resources (OER), open government data and access policies to
galleries, libraries, archives and museums.
