Abstract

There are other ways of doing Open Access than the model in Europe and North-America. So what can we learn from colleagues in Latin America? Dr. Arianna Becerril-García is a professor at the Autonomous University of the state of Mexico, and the chair of AmeliCA and Executive Director and co-founder of Redalyc.org. She shares her opinion on the value of the scholarly-led, non-profit business model to achieve Open Access.

The host of this episode is Erik Lieungh.
