The SciELO project is a pioneering initiative of the Open Access movement for the publication of scientific journals in developing and non-English-speaking countries.

The article begins by reviewing the origins of the SciELO project in Brazil in 1998 and its development as an extended cooperative network to 14 Ibero-American countries and South Africa. It then focuses on the Spanish initiative, SciELO Spain, which begins operating in 2001 with 4 journals and currently includes 60 journals and more than 40,000 articles. It also highlights the milestones achieved at the scientific level and support of the publishing community, as evidenced by the number of visits and content downloads hat it receives, as well as the incorporation of its journals in prestigious international indexes such as Web of Science and Scopus.

Keywords : SciELO; Open Access; Scientific Journals.
