The Federated Network of Institutional Repositories of Scientific Publications (Red Federada de Repositorios Institucionales de Publicaciones Científicas), or simply LA Referencia, is a Latin American network of open access repositories. Through its services, it supports national Open Access strategies in Latin America through a platform with interoperability standards, sharing and giving visibility to the scientific production generated in institutions of higher education and scientific research.
From the national nodes, scientific articles, doctoral and master's theses are integrated, coming from more than a hundred universities and research institutions from the nine countries that now form LA Referencia. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and Peru are active members of the network and Costa Rica was integrated in 2016.
This experience is based on technical and organizational agreements between public science and technology agencies (Ministries and Oncyts ) of the member countries, together with RedCLARA. LA Referencia was born through the Cooperation Agreement, signed in Buenos Aires in 2012, which reflects the political will to offer in open access the scientific production of Latin America as a regional public good with emphasis on the results financed with public funds.

The Iberá wetlands, located in La Plata Basin, is a fragile ecosystem habitat of several species of flora and fauna and it also constitutes one of the largest inland freshwater of the world. In this study the hydroclimatologic response to projected climatic changes in the Iberá wetlands is assessed. Bias corrected temperature and precipitation data from four Regional Climate Models (RCMs) developed for the CLARIS-LPB project were used to drive the calibrated Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrological model for different time slices.
Climate Change in La Plata Basin as Seen by a High-Resolution Global Model
This paper analyses the climate change in La Plata Basin, one of the most important regions in South America due to its economy and population. For this work it has been used the Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) and the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) atmospheric global model. For both near and far future, the projected changes for temperature over the entire basin were positive, although they were only statistically significant at the end of the XXI century. Changes in the annual cycle of mean temperature were also positive in all subregions of the basin.
Aportes a la cuestión jurídica campesina en la Argentina del agronegocio
La consolidación del agronegocio ha aumentado la conflictualidad en el agro argentino en torno a la propiedad de la tierra como consecuencia de situaciones problemáticas de tenencia de la tierra y el uso de los bienes naturales (agua, bosques), una expansión de los problemas ambientales y casos de contaminación rural, la emergencia de la violencia en el campo (desalojos y/o cercamiento de poblaciones indígenas y campesinas, entre otros hechos violentos).
Cambio de uso de suelo y tendencias de la expansión urbana entre 1990 y 2030 en Juan José Castelli y Villa Ángela, Chaco, Argentina
En las últimas décadas se han producido cambios significativos en los esquemas de asentamiento de la población, si bien las ciudades millonarias siguen siendo importantes desde el punto de vista de la concentración de la población, no debemos dejar de destacar el protagonismo que están adquiriendo en este sentido las ciudades intermedias, como consecuencia, éstas comienzan a comprender la necesidad de desarrollar sus propias estrategias de desarrollo, entre las cuales se destacan las inversiones empresariales y de capital humano de origen local y/o regional.
Compacidad y densidad de las ciudades españolas
Las características espaciales de las ciudades resultan decisivas en los principales problemas urbanos: la calidad de vida, la movilidad, el consumo energético y de materiales, etcétera. Para describir el crecimiento de las ciudades, la compacidad y la densidad se han convertido en dos de los valores más funcionales, y pueden ser calculados a través de las principales bases de datos de coberturas del suelo en España: corme Land Cover y siose.
