SciELO Model
Evolution
Phase 1 - Pilot project March 1997- May 1998
development of SciELO Methodology
pilot operation of 10 journals in the Internet
Phase 2 - SciELO Sites June 1998 - May 2001
operation of individual SciELO sites
widening partnership
Phase 3 - Network SciELO Sites June 2001 - May
2003
development of a network of SciELO Sites
building of LAC national and regional
bibliometric indicators

SciELO Model
SciELO Project - development forces - 1996
FAPESP demand of an index to control, make
visible and evaluate Brazilian scientific journals
BIREME demand of a methodology to promote the
transition to electronic publishing, specially
for the health sciences literature from LAC
referenced by LILACS
ABEC development of scientific communication in
Brazil
Internet emergence/predominance of Internet as
the universal publishing medium
need of a comprehensive electronic publishing
approach envisaging to overcome developing
countries scientific communication vicious circle
- information technology enabling a common
methodology/model
7
SciELO Model
foundations
the access to scientific and technical
information is essential for economic and social
development
research results are mainly communicated and
validated through publication in scientific
journals
developed countries have a very well established
scientific communication infrastructure
only a small percentage of the scientific
production from developing countries shares this
infrastructure
8
SciELO Model
- foundations
most of the developing countries scientific
journals lack adequate distribution and
dissemination
in consequence, local generated scientific
information is lost or have a limited impact
the scientific information generated in the
developing countries should be universally
accessible and valued
it will increase the usage and impact of local
information on decision making processes at
different levels
it will contribute to develop a positive feedback
to local scientific journals and therefore to
overcome the marginalization vicious circle

SciELO Model
global and specific objectives
contribute to the development and impact of the
scientific research in Latin America and
Caribbean by improving and widening the means of
dissemination, publication, and evaluation of
research results

SciELO Model
1
SciELO Methodology
preparation, storage, preservation, publication,
linking, dissemination and evaluation of
scientific journals
compatible with international standards and
initiatives
exportable/adequate to developing countries
conditions
cooperative development - capacity building
public domain for the SciELO Network
interchange w/ developing countries related
projects/initiatives INASP, BIOLINE, UNESCO,
ICSU, open archiving, etc.
