[Sarita Albagli]

 In September 2018, the SciELO Program will celebrate 20 years of operation
and will organize the  SciELO 20 Years Conference
<https://www.scielo20.org/en/>, with the purpose of discussing the
alignment of SciELO journals and operations with open science emerging
communication practices and values.   The Scielo Programme is a pioneer in
the OA movement in Brazil and Latin America, notably in the indexing of
national quality journals and in the publication of full texts of open and
free access.

I was invited to head a Panel on “The political and social impact of
journals and the research they communicate
<https://www.scielo20.org/en/panels/p4-1-1/#1521832077831-c8dae681-e2a4>”,  as
part of the preparatory discussions of the conference, for which the
