Argentina, from a global and regional (Latin American) context. The
article describes the evolution and current state of initiatives by
examining two principal approaches to Open Access in Argentina: golden and green roads.
The article will then turn its attention to: the support that Open
Access receives from governmental sources; collaboration with
international projects; and the perspective of Argentine authors
regarding Open Access and self-archiving. It concludes with a reflection
on the outlook, the main barriers and opportunities for Open Access in
