On late November the Federated Network of Institutional Repositories of Scientific Publications - Red Federada de Repositorios Institucionales de Publicaciones Científicas, LAReferencia- presented a video which compiles the importance and benefits of the open access to scientific production and the efforts made in the region in this area.

"It is a fact, scientific publications available in open access are more consulted and are more likely to be cited" says the content of the video.

Furthermore, the material explains how the federated network works and how a country can become part of the initiative.
