The Federated Network of Institutional Repositories of Scientific Publications (Red Federada de Repositorios Institucionales de Publicaciones Científicas), or simply LA Referencia, is a Latin American network of open access repositories. Through its services, it supports national Open Access strategies in Latin America through a platform with interoperability standards, sharing and giving visibility to the scientific production generated in institutions of higher education and scientific research.
From the national nodes, scientific articles, doctoral and master's theses are integrated, coming from more than a hundred universities and research institutions from the nine countries that now form LA Referencia. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and Peru are active members of the network and Costa Rica was integrated in 2016.
This experience is based on technical and organizational agreements between public science and technology agencies (Ministries and Oncyts ) of the member countries, together with RedCLARA. LA Referencia was born through the Cooperation Agreement, signed in Buenos Aires in 2012, which reflects the political will to offer in open access the scientific production of Latin America as a regional public good with emphasis on the results financed with public funds.

The identification of suitable models for predicting daily water flow is important for planning
Drought risk in argentine pampean region
This paper analyses the drought risk in argentine Pampean region using statistical results of soil water storage. These are calculated by daily soil water balance whose methodology has been tested using values obtained in situ. The goal of the paper is define a level of drought or minimum level of soil water storage, for the entire region which is, at the same time, the minimum optimum soil water content for crops. Over this moisture level, crops can yield with all their potential. The occurrence probability of values, for a determined time period, under that minimum is proposed.
Nutrient enrichment effect on macroinvertebrates in a lowland stream of Argentina
The intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2012) predicts increases in the frequency of heavy precipitation in the 21st century over many areas of the globe. Thus, climate change will increase flood and drought frequencies, alter stream geomorphology and habitat availability, as well as increase water temperature, sediments, and nutrient concentration (Sabater & Tockner, 2010).
La renta en la horticultura de La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina): causas de su heterogeneidad intra y extrarregional
El objetivo del artículo es analizar los motivos del alto monto del arrendamiento de la tierra en La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina), en relación con otras regiones hortícolas, a la vez de identificar las variables que hacen que dicho arrendamiento muestre importantes variaciones incluso en el interior de la capital bonaerense.
Las verdades más incómodas del cambio climático no son climáticas
El aumento de los gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en la atmósfera es el más comentado —y uno de los más estudiados— de los impactos humanos sobre el planeta por ser motor del cambio climático y de su consecuencia más general y conocida: el calentamiento global. Hay consenso acerca de que estos cambios serán en su mayoría perjudiciales, y por lo tanto también hay muchos análisis sobre cómo evitarlos, o por lo menos atenuarlos.
