Abstract

Intervening factors such as information and communication technologies, serials crisis, creation of arXiv and implementation of 3B (Budapest, Berlin and Bethesda) are key factors for changing the modes of scholarly communication production. This paper presents a literature review on the issue, focusing on the green road (repositories). It aims to analyze the effects caused by those factors. To achieve this purpose, the resulting consequences of these factors will be verified, as well as the adoption of the green road as an alternative mode of scholarly communication, the evolution of repositories and the actors who benefit from Open Ac ­ cess. The repositories constitute a tool for the unrestricted sharing of knowledge and are an alternative for developing countries to have access to the information published in journals and repositories and also to make the science produced there public. It concludes that changes in the traditional system of scholarly communication reveal the emergence of a new paradigm L Open Access.
