This article discusses four issues that limit open access to scientific publications and the progress of so-called open science. They are: the scientific publishing market dominated by large international commercial publishers; the evaluation criteria applied by S&T organizations that respond to the evaluative culture of “publish or perish”; the practices rooted in the different academic communities; and current intellectual property regulations. On the other hand, the information policies developed by the Argentine National State are analyzed, both to give access to scientific literature, and to disseminate and make available in an open and free manner the productions financed with public funds. Finally, these problems in our country are analyzed and some lines of action are proposed that would allow greater scientific sovereignty to be achieved at the level of information policy.
