Resumo: Diff erent funding and business model alternatives for Open Access to scientifi c publication have been discussed and tried, either by Gold open access journals or by the ‘hybrid’ ones. A growing number of both types of scholarly journals have adopted a publication fee – more specifi cally an Article Processing Charge – as their open access business model, a procedure that has been the subject of controversies. The objective of this study is to characterize Brazilian open access journals that adopt article processing charges. The main contribution of this study is to audit and support decision making of editorial policies and business models for open access that are being proposed by and for Brazilian journals. We defi ned a sample of Brazilian open access journals using article processing charges extracted from the Directory of Open Access Journals database in April 2018 along with their classifi cation in the Scimago Journal Ranking, Journal Citation Reports and Qualis Capes system, considered as an indicator of prestige of academic journals. The study reveals that a small number of Brazilian open access journals are currently applying article processing charges, with practices varying mainly according to fi elds of study, types of organization and classifi cation according to the Qualis system.

Um crescente número dessas duas modalidades de periódicos tem adotado uma taxa de publicação – mais especifi camente uma Taxa de Processamento de Artigo – como seu modelo de negócio, o que tem sido tema de controvérsias. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar características de periódicos brasileiros de acesso aberto que adotam taxas de processamento de artigos. A principal contribuição do estudo reside em subsidiar e ´auditar´ políticas editoriais e modelos de negócio para o acesso aberto que vêm sendo propostos para e por parte dos periódicos científicos brasileiros. Partiu-se de uma amostra de periódicos brasileiros que aplicam taxas extraída do Directory of Open Access Journals em abril de 2018, juntamente com sua classificação no Scimago Journal Ranking, Journal Citation Reports, e Qualis Capes, entendida como um indicador de prestígio desses periódicos. O estudo revela que um número ainda pequeno de periódicos brasileiros de acesso aberto aplica taxas de processamento de artigos, com práticas variando de acordo com suas áreas do conhecimento, tipos organização e prestígio relacionado ao Sistema Qualis.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2019-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/5900Transinformação; Vol. 31 (2019)Transinformação; Vol. 31 (2019)Transinformação; v. 31 (2019)2318-08890103-3786reponame:Transinformação (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/5900/3641https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAppel, Andre Luiz Albagli, Sarita 2024-04-02T12:06:40Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/5900Revistahttp://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/transinfo/indexPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpsbi.nucleodeeditoracao@puc-campinas.edu.br2318-08890103-3786opendoar:2024-04-02T12:06:40Transinformação (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
