Examples of non-commercial open access regional journal portals in developing regions are SciELO and Redalyc (Latin America), AJOL and Scielo SA (Africa). Several universities run collections of their own open access journals, examples of universities with more than a hundred journals in their collection: the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), and the University of Chile. In recent years main research universities from developing regions have started developing, or planning, institutional open access digital repositories, which interoperate with national and regional systems of digital repositories, as is the case of 9 countries of Latin America in La Referencia, member of COAR-Confederation of Open Access Repositories.

Examples in Latin America: Peru and Argentina have passed in Congress in 2013 national legislation requiring open access repositories for publicly-funded research, Mexico in 2014, and still in Congress in Brazil and Venezuela. World national and institutional open access policies are registered in http://roarmap.eprints.org/
