Paper doi abstract bibtex In the early 2000s attendees of a meeting in Budapest drafted the first formal declaration advocating Open Access to scientific and scholarly literature. After that, there have been many other discussions, declarations and key initiatives on Open Access to research publications around the world. Despite the Open Access movement is now over twenty years old and growing interest to remove barriers to peer-reviewed scholarly literature, there is not up-to-date and reproducible studies assessing the prevalence and characteristics of Open Access specifically in the Insular Caribbean Region. The purpose of this study is to trace outgrowth and development of Open Access in this region over the last two decades. The bibliographic data collected was extracted from Scopus. We elaborated indicators related about variants of Open Access types, publication year of the Open Access documents, country of publication, languages, and subject areas. The findings disclosed that the Open Access publishing is increasingly in the region and the golden route has experienced greater advances. Cuba and Puerto Rico stand out with the highest open production. We hope our analysis might serve as a basis for scientific institutions of the region to implement policies and initiatives supporting Open Access models of scientific communication.
