Abstract

Technological development facilitates the communication of scientific knowledge, allowing expand distribution channels and significantly reducing transmission costs of the investigation. There are new paradigms of scientific communication such as open access repositories that must be exploited to provide academic and research free content, so that the scientific production is globally accessible to society. The aim of this study is to report the benefits of scientific communication model through open access repositories, using as an example the Revista de la Sociedad Otorrinolaringológica Castilla y León, Cantabria y La Rioja deposited and disseminated through Gredos, the Institutional Repository of the University of Salamanca. Method: We present the fundamentals, the state of the art, trends and benefits of open access, understood as a radical change in the system of scientific communication. They are defined and analyzed repositories, which are the "green road" to get open access to knowledge. Results: Open Access Repositories are a new way to spread scientific journals so that papers published in them achieve maximum exposure and visibility, increasing the rate of citation. Discussion: The study focuses on the repositories and on the deposit of scientific articles in repositories, specifically in the case of Gredos institutional repository of the University of Salamanca, to explain the advantages of the dissemination of the contents of the Revista de la Societdad Otorrinolaringológica Castilla y León, Cantabria y La Rioja through the repository Gredos, emphasizing the increased visibility of the scientific content hosted in the repository Gredos. Conclusions: Currently the movement for open access is sufficiently consolidated as evidenced by the data presented in this paper. Repositories are a key element in the development of this movement, offering multiple benefits to authors, institutions and the general public. The Journal of the Sociedad Otorrinolaringológica de Castilla y León, Cantabria and La Rioja diffused through the repository of Gredos will increase the content visibility and the rate of citation, while contributing to the public good.
