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.

Resposta do pinhão-manso à aplicação de níveis de irrigação e doses de adubação potássica

Journal Articles & Books
January, 2012
Brazil

O cultivo do pinhão-manso vem despertando grande interesse para a produção de biodiesel. Apesar da irrigação e da adubação contribuírem para o aumento da sua produção, poucas pesquisas têm sido realizadas neste contexto. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento e a produtividade de sementes de pinhão-manso em resposta a diferentes doses de adubação potássica e lâminas de irrigação. O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), na região sul do estado de Minas Gerais.

Forced Displacement: Legal Versus Illegal Crops

Journal Articles & Books
January, 2012
Colombia

Anecdotal evidence suggests that, in stateless regions in Colombia, the establishment of oil palm 1 plantations generates more forced migration than the introduction of coca crops. We provide a theoretical model to study this phenomenon where an agent, allied with the illegal armed group that controls a region, chooses between buying an agricultural good from peasants or producing it himself by evicting farmers from their lands. We compare two crops that differ in their labor intensity.
