Resumo:[EN] Latindex has created a portal of portals (PPL) aimed at providing free and open organized access to the literature published in Ibero-American scholarly journals. A report on the initial experience with the PPL is presented, with a critical overview of the main features and shortcomings found in the harvesting process. Our findings raise the need for additional information sources in Ibero-America and for the portals to adopt and adhere to technical and editorial standards. Further, the coverage of journals by different systems providing quality indicators is analyzed, based on case studies of journals produced in two countries with different degrees of development. This analysis highlights the relevant role that PPL can play in support of Ibero-American journals and as a tool in evaluation processes.
