SCIELO - An Electronic Publishing Model for Developing Countries

(www.fapesp.br), BIREME (www.bireme.br) and a group of Brazilian scientific editors, the SciELO Model was already adopted by Chile, and there are several ongoing initiatives that lead us to expect that five more countries will adopt SciELO during 1999. By the end of the year 2000, it is expected that at least 100 journals will be published under the SciELO Model throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
