Summary:
[From Google's English] "In Spain, the open access repositories are grouped in RECOLECTA platform (**) (http://recolecta.fecyt.es). In addition, RECOLECTA ensures interoperability of all repositories and adds value added services such as statistics of visits and downloads made. Recently, I could take a pulse to the health status of university repositories because I had to search those issues that perhaps are not significant or representative, but have made me see where none expected some weaknesses of these deposits . One of the strengths would be the homogeneity or interoperability of individual seekers each university or institution. There are some that are out of the standards, but in general they are all very similar and that is appreciated and increases the call usability. Arguably the interface of the user query is practically the same when navigating between repositories from different universities. One weakness is that the funds are still small (Figure 2, RECERCAT) and just interrogables than through a simple form and the option to sort by year of publication or incorporation and relevance.
A remarkable weakness is that no documents deposited in repositories, eg singularly and final master work, not on open access. That is, are placed in open access repositories documents actually have restricted access by the author. In cases where we found did not indicate whether the restriction was subject to an embargo period (assimilated to the publications of 'commercial' editors). We do not know then if it is delayed open access. I tend to think that this restriction, undesirable for movement Open access can be justified fear of authors to their fledgling investigations are unduly appropriated by other authors unscrupulous who violates the appropriate academic label, intellectual property and that of cite sources and use quotes. In fact a master could be considered the limit of what would be considered 'public' perhaps (***). Moreover, although there will be good jobs not there are also high quality. In any case it is a contradiction found in the Open Access closed documents. They say that at least we know that someone has made a study of something, but this is not the desired orientation ..."
