Experience Ignasi Labastida, who works as coordinator of the Office for Knowledge Dissemination of the University of Barcelona focuses since 2003 to free educational materials, and he uses a license from Creative Commons, an American organization that manages royalties. In this context, the intentions of Ignasi Labastida are those of providing open access to scientific content, so that they serve as an alternative source of data to more traditional scientific publishing. "When we talk about open access we mean the ability to act on a certain content, and the opportunity to amend it personally." "You have to give users the freedom to copy, download or link to a scientific paper," qualifies Labastida.
To this end, the speaker calls for greater involvement of institutions, "to implement real policies to support access free ", as already happens in Britain, America and Germany. In these countries is being discussed how to make public the results of research paid for with state funds.
