Resumen

Se estudia el fenómeno del big deal, modelo de suscripción de revistas científicas que surgió en el cambio de milenio y se dirigió especialmente a consorcios de bibliotecas, a los que se ofrecía incrementar de forma exponencial la accesibilidad a la información científica, rompiendo la tendencia anterior de recortes continuos en las colecciones de publicaciones periódicas en las bibliotecas. Se presentan sus puntos fuertes como la ampliación de la disponibilidad de contenidos y su incidencia en la diversificación del uso y en la productividad de los investigadores. Asimismo, se ponen de relieve sus puntos débiles como el incremento constante de precios y la constatación de la concentración del uso en un conjunto de contenidos limitado. Estas sombras han conducido a su cuestionamiento y han resultado en procesos de evaluación de los big deals, búsqueda de alternativas y cancelaciones en periodos de crisis. En los últimos años estas últimas se vinculan con la percepción de que el equilibrio coste-beneficio de los big deals se ha visto alterado por la proliferación de contenidos en acceso abierto. Finalmente, se aborda la renovación del tradicional big deal por medio de acuerdos transformativos donde los costes por suscripción se compensan con los costes de publicación, y que pretenden ser un mecanismo para acelerar la transición hacia el acceso abierto.
