The transition to the electronic era
Latindex founding project (1995),third database/service: “Index of links to electronic journals”. New tasks/challenges for Latindex:

Open Access in Latin America
AL&C tiene una presencia fuerte en repositorios
internacionales y regionales de revistas de acceso
abierto, lo cual aumenta la visibilidad de las revistas de
la región y la posibilidad de desarrollar redes
académicas de colaboración.
Los directorios regionales como LATINDEX y los
repositorios/ índices como RedALyC y SciELO han
tenido un gran impacto sobre el desarrollo de las
revistas de AL&C.
