摘要：The Internet have generated changes in scientific communication, creating a new model of free and quick access to research results to which educational institutions are gradually adapting in different contexts. This article analyzes the perception of open access policies and practices by teachers of the Uniguajira - Colombia (Uniguajira) and the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León - Mexico (UANL). Methodologically, a comparative, non-experimental investigation was assumed. A random sample design with (n: 245) participants was used. The results show a favorable attitude of teachers towards open scientific communication, with higher ratings in the general average scale of 3.3 / 4 for UANL compared to 2.97 / 4 in Uniguajira. It is concluded that there is a willingness on part of teachers to share scientific content in free access; nonetheless, at the institutional level, open access policies and practices need to be strengthened.
