As a method, bibliographical, descriptive and analytical research was used, with the contribution of bibliometric studies, especially the production indicators, scientific collaboration and indicators of thematic co-occurrence. The Scopus database was used as a source to retrieve the articles on the subject, with a resulting corpus of 1179 articles. Using Bibexcel software, frequency tables were constructed for the variables, and Pajek software was used to visualize the collaboration network and VoSViewer for the construction of the keywords\u2019 network. As for the results, the most productive researchers come from countries such as the United States, Canada, France and Spain. Journals with higher impact in the academic community have disseminated the new constructed knowledge. A collaborative network with a few subnets where co-authors are from different countries has been observed. As conclusions, this study allows identifying the themes of debates that mark the development of open access at the international level, and it is possible to state that open access is one of the new emerging and frontier fields of library and information science.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications4010001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,15]],"date-time":"2016-01-15T09:26:33Z","timestamp":1452849993000},"page":"1","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Scientific Production on Open Access: A Worldwide Bibliometric Analysis in the Academic and Scientific Context"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Sandra","family":"Miguel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaciones en Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales\u2014IdIHCS (UNLP-CONICET), Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educaci\u00f3n, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, calle 51 e\/124 y 125, Ensenada, 1925, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ely","family":"Tannuri de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP\u2014Univ Estadual Paulista, 737 Hygino Muzzi Filho Avenue, 17525-900 Mar\u00edlia, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Cabrini Gr\u00e1cio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP\u2014Univ Estadual Paulista, 737 Hygino Muzzi Filho Avenue, 17525-900 Mar\u00edlia, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1002\/aris.1440400110","article-title":"Open access","volume":"40","author":"Drott","year":"2006","journal-title":"Annu.
