Abstract

This initiative is part of Law 26,899 "Creation of Digital Institutional Repositories of Open Access, Own or Shared" (2013), which establishes the availability of all scientific production financed with public funds.

Methodology. Based on own participation as members of the Program: Production and Circulation of Knowledge at the Public University (PyCCUP), the paper is presented as a case analysis based on a systematization of experiences.

Results. It detail four stages involved in the process: 1. diagnosis, 2. awareness, training and conciliation of interests 3. institutional adjustment and, 4. technical and design aspects.

Conclusions. These considerations draw lessons on challenges and good practices, as well as issues to deepen in the future. It contributes, in this sense, towards a growing problematization on the ways of production, dissemination and use of university knowledge in Latin America.
