Abstract: In this paper, we focus on a q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers, which can be written for sinN^* by zeta_q(s)=sum_{kgeq 1}q^ksum_{d|k}d^{s-1}. We give a new lower bound for the dimension of the vector space over Q spanned, for 1/qin�setminus{-1;1} and an even integer A, by 1,zeta_q(3),zeta_q(5),...,zeta_q(A-1). This improves a recent result of Krattenthaler, Rivoal and Zudilin (emph{S'eries hyperg'eom'etriques basiques, q-analogues des valeurs de la fonction zeta et s'eries d'Eisenstein}, J. Inst. Jussieu {�f 5}.1 (2006), 53-79). In particular, a consequence of our result is that for 1/qin�setminus{-1;1}, at least one of the numbers zeta_q(3),zeta_q(5),zeta_q(7),zeta_q(9) is irrational.
