The Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) in its 20th anniversary published a new set of recommendations based on its original principles, linked to incentivizing open publication and removing disincentives generated or created around it. In Latin America, it is necessary to conceptually rethink and redifine the scope of open access based on the historical tradition of the region and academic evaluation processes. The region requires the expansion and intervention of open access in the entire research process, in order to consolidate the bound between open access and open science as a dynamic and comprehensive process; as well as to reform the evaluation systems and cultures prevailing in the region considering open access.
