Estrategias de comunicación académica en Universidades de investigación intensiva de América Latina

Palabras clave: América Latina, Comunicación Académica, Acceso Abierto

Resumen

Las universidades dedicadas a producir investigación de alta calidad han existido por siglos en América Latina, pero solamente en las últimas dos décadas el modelo de investigación intensiva se ha convertido en el estándar para la mayoría de las universidades públicas de la región. El creciente énfasis en la publicación académica en la región ha coincidido con el adelanto del internet y con el surgimiento y crecimiento del movimiento de acceso abierto (OA, por su sigla en inglés). Es en este contexto, exploramos tres asuntos principales: 1. Cómo el OA se ha entendido e incorporado a las prácticas de publicación de los profesores en universidades de investigación intensiva; 2. Cómo el OA se ha entendido e incorporado a las prácticas de los sistemas nacionales de investigación y desarrollo (I&D); y 3. Cómo podemos entender las dinámicas de convergencia entre el crecimiento de la investigación y el crecimiento del OA en la región. Encontramos que la inclusión de SciELO y RedALyC en los sistemas de evaluación de las universidades de investigación intensiva y los sistemas nacionales de I&D han dado predominancia al OA en la región. Mientras que es imposible determinar la relación directa entre estas iniciativas de OA (y las tecnologías asociadas) sobre la cantidad y la calidad de la investigación en América Latina, nosotros concluimos que ellos han sido un mecanismo de apoyo para los investigadores, las universidades, y los sistemas nacionales de innovación.

Dr. Juan Pablo Alperin is a co-director of the ScholCommLab, as well as an associate professor at the Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing and an associate director of research of the Public Knowledge Project at Simon Fraser University, Canada. He is a multi-disciplinary scholar, with training in computer science (BMath, University of Waterloo), social science (MA Geography, University of Waterloo), and education (PhD, Stanford University), who believes that research, especially when it is made freely available (as so much of today’s work is), has the potential to make meaningful and direct contributions to society, and that it is our responsibility as the creators of this research to ensure we understand the mechanisms, networks, and mediums through which our work is discussed and used. A few publications are listed below.

Dr. Fischman focuses his work on understanding and improving the processes of knowledge-production and exchange between scholars, educators, activists, practitioners, administrators, media workers, policymakers, and the broader public. He is currently leading two research projects. The first project focuses on issues of sustainability education and the uses (and misuses) of global learning metrics and large-scale assessments in educational reform projects. The second project explores systems reforms to improve assessment practices in higher education and organizational strategies for mobilizing research knowledge. Has authored more than 150 academic publications, as well as numerous commentaries and interviews. He has been a visiting scholar in several graduate programs in Europe and Latin America. Dr. Fischman has received many awards and appointments, including selected as a New Century Fulbright scholar (2010), fellow of the International Academy of Education, (2013) and fellow of the American Educational Research Association (2015)and appointed to the W.

Haas, and Made in Latin America: Open Access, Scholarly Journals, and Regional Innovations co-edited with Juan P. Alperin.
John Willinsky, Stanford University: Stanford, CA, US

John Willinsky. Professor Emeritus at Stanford Graduate School of Education. After working for some time on the educational implications of such knowledge systems as literary theory, curriculum theory, lexicography, and European imperialism, I have come to focus my studies on both analyzing and altering scholarly publishing practices to understand whether this body of knowledge might yet become more of a public resource for education and deliberation and whether we can develop software tools to help make that happen.
