Red española de trabajos científicos : estudio de su viabilidad, implantación y derechos de autor

This paper study the issues of the Spanish scientific communication in an electronic environment. The starting point is the premise that the Spanish university is source of production of quality scientific and technical knowledge by its members: researchers, teachers and even PhD students. Nevertheless, we live in a system where those who produce information, the authors, are also who bough and pays it. Until now, the cycle of the scientific communication has been subject to the status quo established by the creators and distributors of information. Well now, in an electronic environment no information provider or publisher should interfere with the basic functions of a university: education and research. That's why we are studying the authors digital libraries contribution to the cohesion of networks and scientific communities. There is no in Spain a single interuniversitary network focused on the authors as producers of technical and scientific information. If we take into account that the most part of the human resources work at the Spanish university is oriented towards the research and dissemination, it brings out the convenience of approaching these issues which are common to every institution.
