CLACSO´s Declaration on open access to knowledge managed as a commons by the scholarly community

"1. Provide open access to publicly funded research results, both texts and data (open access and open data). 2. Promote and fund projects and working groups aimed at improving the quality of scholarly editorial processes; as peer-review and internationalization (e.g.: publication in local language and in English when research is of international interest) in the contents of open access digital repositories, publishing platforms and journals. 3. Encourage editors of scholarly journals to retain control, experience and knowledge of the editorial processes and its products, regardless of the platforms of visibility and indexing with which they share metadata and content. 4. Ensure that open access repositories, publishing platforms and publications are interoperable with national, regional and international systems and portals to achieve a multiplying effect on the visibility and access to research results by local, regional and international public. 5. When evaluating researchers and institutions, consider indicators provided by open access repositories, publishing platforms and publications, as well as other measures of impact and relevance in local and regional contexts, to complement traditional international bibliometric indicators that poorly reflect the production and impact of research from developing countries. 6. Support and promote worldwide access to knowledge as a human right, and its management as a commons by the scholarly community."
