Due to that, this research aimed to describe the current state of the Institutional Repositories (IR) of Venezuela. Apart from defining its origins, software and licenses, periodic publications were also analyzed. To identify them, the digital repositories catalogued in the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) were taken as a reference, then, it was determined which had university registration and checklists to collect data were used. It was concluded that, in the country, there are eight IR in the ROAR. Most of them use DSpace to their development and some Creative Common licenses; the scientific journals of the universities are present only in 50% of them, from which the 57.2% are inactive or dead. Facing this, it is recommended that scientific managers and editors create policies to benefit the AA that guarantee visibility in scientific production in the country, and maintain the periodicity of the existent publications, as this generates greater quality. El Acceso Abierto (AA) se ha convertido en uno de los mecanismos más extendidos dentro de la comunidad científica en el orden mundial. Debido a ello, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo describir el estado actual de los Repositorios Institucionales (RI) de Venezuela. Además de definir sus procedencias, software y licencias, también se analizaron las publicaciones periódicas alojadas en ellos. Para identificarlos, se tomó como referencia los repositorios digitales catalogados en el Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), luego se determinaron cuáles tenían adscripción universitaria y se desarrollaron listas de cotejo para la recolección de datos de cada uno de los aspectos valorados. Se concretó que en el país hay ocho RI en el ROAR. La mayoría utiliza el DSpace para su desarrollo y alguno de los tipos de licencia Creative Commons; solo en el 50 % de estos se encuentran almacenadas las revistas científicas de las universidades, de las cuales el 57, 2 % están inactivas o muertas. Ante esto, se recomienda a los gestores y editores científicos crear políticas en beneficio del AA, que garanticen visibilidad en la producción científica de la nación, así como mantener la periodicidad de las publicaciones existentes, pues esto genera mayor calidad. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/3731 10.34096/ics.i38.3731 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/3731/4453 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/3731/4510 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 38 (2018): Junio; 89-106 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 38 (2018): Junio; 89-106 1851-1740 1514-8327 Repositorio Acceso abierto Revistas científicas Venezuela Repository Open access Scientific journals Venezuela State of Venezuelan institutional repositories and their scientific journals Estado de los repositorios institucionales venezolanos y sus revistas científicas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=3731_oai
