New settings for Open Access: challenges and proposals Las nuevas configuraciones del Acceso Abierto: desafíos y propuestas

The adoption of Finch Report recommendation as a standard to open Aaccess by the British Government was a huge stepback to the Open Access Movement. The Finch model prioritizes the gold hybrid open access as the best strategy to immediate access to scientific production based on authors' payment for article processing charges to publishers of scientific journals. Acoording to Harnad 1 the Finch Report recommendations affect, in a perverse way, the green open access, main strategy of open access, due to the role of repositories in this model would be restricted to long period of embargo delaying the possibility of immediate ac­ cess. To understand the scope and implications of this new context, the present article aims to present the new settings for the open access from main elements of the Finch Report directly affecting open access identifying its main challenges. The study was based on documentary research on the original texts of the Finch Report and interviews and texts by Steven Harnad.
