Resumen

Se estudia la evolución del uso de revistas científicas electrónicas en el período 2007-2018 realizado por las comunidades académicas de las universidades públicas de Castilla y León adscritas al consorcio Bucle. Se analizan las descargas de artículos distribuidos por cuatro proveedores de amplio espectro: Emerald, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink y Wiley. Inesperadamente, dadas las nuevas vías de acceso a los contenidos, este análisis muestra que en las universidades públicas de Castilla y León se ha incrementado el número de descargas. Sin embargo se ha constatado que pese al crecimiento, unas pocas revistas aglutinan la mayor parte de las descargas y que un elevado número de títulos no se utiliza. Se verifica que las universidades con más plantilla y mayor diversidad de áreas de conocimiento utilizan un abanico de títulos más amplio y obtienen así un mayor rendimiento de las contrataciones. Todo lo anterior nos lleva a cuestionar el sistema de contratación de paquetes cerrados y multidisciplinares de centenares de revistas y otros recursos o big deals. En un momento de cambio impulsado por el Plan S, consideramos más necesario que nunca conocer la situación de partida en la provisión de contenidos de publicaciones científicas seriadas que ayude a establecer de manera fundamentada las estrategias adecuadas y más eficientes de acceso a la información científica.
