Abstract


The expression open science is characterized and related with open science, and it is argued that a good design of digital repositories and their connexion through Internet may dramatically increase interdisciplinarity. Also, such repositories are characterized as trading zones where scholar journals could harvest papers they should publish as unitary discourses, yet in the context of a proposed model that is very different compared to usual current publishers’ practices.
