This article wants to analyze the tendencies, the projects and the initiatives, that leads to a model open to the scientific literature. We show the different experiences and models done around the evaluation process by Peer-review experts in the field of the editorial processes of well-known institutions: Nature, The Lancet, Pub Med Central, American Educational Research Association, Elsevier, etc. In the same way we review the digital journals impact in the communication models OA. To reach the proposed objectives we analized the indicators: evaluation processes and access level. We finished recognizing the influence of three models, open to science information evaluation process and a mixed model Peer-review that leads to a bigger transparency in the evaluation process. Also we note an alternative model: autor-pays- model.

Keywords : open access; digital journals; science communication; peer-review; publishing models; institutional repositories.
