Location
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 Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí River Basins (RB-PCJ) are located in the States of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, Brazil. By 2005, 5.8% of Brazil's General National Product-GNP was produced there. Such economic development has created a huge demand for water resources. The availability of water resources was assessed by running a dynamic systems simulation model to manage these resources in the RB-PCJ (WRM-PCJ), considering five 50-year simulations. WRM-PCJ was developed as a tool to aid the RB-PCJ Watershed Committee.
Water demand and flows in the São Francisco River Basin (Brazil) with increased irrigation.
Most activities that support economic growth in the São Francisco Riber Basin (Brazil) need water. Allocation of the water resources to each competing use needs quantification in order to develop an integrated water management plan. Irrigation agriculture is the largest water consuming activity in the basin. It has produced large economic and social advancements in the region and has potential for further development. The local development agency in the São Francisco River has projected an increase of more than 500,000ha in irrigation developments distributed within the basin.
Spatial and temporal land cover changes in Terminos Lagoon Reserve, Mexico
Terminos Lagoon ecosystem is the largest fluvial-lagoon estuarine system in the country and one of the most important reserves of coastal flora and fauna in Mexico. Since the seventies, part of the main infrastructure for country's oil extraction is located in this area. Its high biodiversity has motivated different type of studies including deforestation processes and land use planning. In this work we used satellite image analysis to determine land cover changes in the area from 1974 to 2001.
Estructura y jurisdicción de las organizaciones de usuarios de aguas en chile durante el siglo XIX
Este artículo analiza las organizaciones de usuarios de aguas en Chile antes de la emisión de la Ley N° 2.139, de 1908, para determinar cuáles fueron las formas asociativas empleadas por los regantes para organizarse hasta aquel entonces y si estos últimos confirieron atribuciones jurisdiccionales a dichas organizaciones para resolver los conflictos derivados del ejercicio de los derechos de sus asociados.
ACCESO A LA PROPIEDAD DE LA TIERRA, COMUNIDAD E IDENTIDADES COLECTIVAS ENTRE LOS AYMARAS DEL NORTE DE CHILE (1821-1930)
En este trabajo se utilizan distintas fuentes documentales, cuyo análisis tiene como objetivo principal mostrar la forma en que las comunidades aymarás del norte de Chile han enfrentado las regulaciones estatales peruanas y chilenas de acceso a la propiedad de la tierra y cómo ello ha influido en la manifestación de sus identidades colectivas étnicas y nacionales, durante el periodo comprendido entre 1821 y 1930.
