Abstract
The practice of providing open access to articles, adopted in Brazil and several other countries, still faces resistance from many commercial publishers abroad (Packer & Santos, 2019a). Recently, some of them have switched to a hybrid model (open and closed access) as a more balanced path. Transparency in the peer review process is also being discussed: The digital library SciELO recommends a “gradual increase of transparency and openness [...] with the disclosure of the identities of authors and reviewers during the evaluation process” (Packer & Santos, 2019b). Even more controversial is the policy of open access to research data of articles published in scientific publications. The Blog SciELO em Perspectiva has several texts discussing this trend, which have been questioned by many actors involved in the production and publication of scientific articles, including authors, universities, editors, and publishers.
