One way advocated by the Budapest Declaration provides for the publication of research in open access journals. This is the golden road of access to publications aimed at providing immediate access to research results. The growth and impact of this dissemination of scientific information vehicle have been subject to international studies that have attempted to analyze the situation targeting the Anglo-Saxon world. This work seeks to contribute to the mapping and availability of this type of literature in Portuguese of the journals published in open access in Portugal and Brazil. For this purpose various sources were used, which crossed allow to get a first picture: to identify journals in open access in Brazil and Portugal we used the International Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). To supplement the data found in the DOAJ, other sources were used Diadorim (Brazil), Electronics SciELO Library (Brazil and Portugal) and the Scientific Open Access repository of Portugal (RCAAP).
