PUENTES-CALA, Mauricio. Data bases for profit and the commercialization of scientific publications. colombia, a reference case. E-Ciencias de la Información [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.141-163. ISSN 1659-4142.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/eci.v9i2.37498.

Within the framework of this essay, the purpose of this discussion is to highlight the embargo that academic and scientific productions have been suffering, in the field of written publications, by databases owned by transnational commercial consortia, whose corporate mission has been fundamentally oriented to profit. In this embargo process, researchers have lost control and sovereignty over their intellectual production. Research has been reduced to management criteria, and the communication of knowledge has been restricted by monetary transactions and corporate marketing.
