SciELO promotes open access and cooperative publication of scholarly journals, based mainly in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal. SciELO was created to offer solutions to increase the visibility of participating journals and facilitate free access to their full texts. This work aims to analyse the open access editorial policies implemented by the health sciences journals of the SciELO network (411 journals at the time of this study) in terms of authors’ rights, copyright issues, self-archiving policies and openness. From SciELO health sciences journals network, 92% of the 411 journals use a Creative Commons licence, 89% require transfer of author copyright and 14% apply author processing charges. According to the past SHERPA/RoMEO taxonomy of self-archiving policies, 8.5% of the journals were classified as white, 81.5% blue and 10% green. The openness of journals calculated through the Open Access Spectrum approach was higher than 60% in more than 80% of the total journals. Out of the 411 journals in SciELO portals, 380 have their own website. Discrepancies were found between licences stated in SciELO compared with the ones used in their websites, mainly due to the lack of declared licences in either of the two sources or because the licences did not match. The licences used on the websites and in SciELO were also compared with their corresponding records in the Directory of Open Access Journals and Crossref, and again the differences were narrowly related to the data supplier.

SciELO 促进学术期刊的开放获取和合作出版，主要位于拉丁美洲、加勒比地区、西班牙和葡萄牙。SciELO 旨在提供解决方案，以提高参与期刊的知名度并促进免费访问其全文。这项工作旨在分析 SciELO 网络的健康科学期刊（本研究时为 411 种期刊）在作者权利、版权问题、自存档政策和开放性方面实施的开放获取编辑政策。在 SciELO 健康科学期刊网络中，411 种期刊中有 92% 使用知识共享许可，89% 要求转让作者版权，14% 收取作者处理费。根据过去 SHERPA/RoMEO 对自归档政策的分类，8.5% 的期刊被归类为白色，81。5% 蓝色和 10% 绿色。通过Open Access Spectrum方法计算的期刊开放度在80%以上的期刊中高于60%。在 SciELO 门户网站的 411 种期刊中，380 种拥有自己的网站。在 SciELO 中发现的许可证与其网站中使用的许可证之间存在差异，主要是由于两个来源中的任何一个都没有声明的许可证或因为许可证不匹配。网站和 SciELO 中使用的许可证也与开放获取期刊目录和 Crossref 中的相应记录进行了比较，这些差异再次与数据供应商密切相关。380有自己的网站。在 SciELO 中发现的许可证与其网站中使用的许可证之间存在差异，主要是由于两个来源中的任何一个都没有声明的许可证或因为许可证不匹配。网站和 SciELO 中使用的许可证也与开放获取期刊目录和 Crossref 中的相应记录进行了比较，这些差异再次与数据供应商密切相关。380有自己的网站。在 SciELO 中发现的许可证与其网站中使用的许可证之间存在差异，主要是由于两个来源中的任何一个都没有声明的许可证或因为许可证不匹配。网站和 SciELO 中使用的许可证也与开放获取期刊目录和 Crossref 中的相应记录进行了比较，这些差异再次与数据供应商密切相关。
