Within the dynamics of CSIC to actively collaborate with those institutions that promote all kinds of practices related to open science (in some initiatives as established and well known as ArXiv, COAR, DataCite o DOAJ) CSIC has added this year its collaboration with DOAB and OpenCitation.

The CSIC and Crue Universidades Españolas have signed an agreement with Springer Nature to promote the growth of open access scientific publishing in Spain. Between CSIC, with 120 research centers and institutes that make it the largest research institution in Spain, and Crue, which integrates 58 universities in this agreement, they bring together some 200,000 researchers across the country.

The Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and CRUE have signed an agreement with John Wiley & Sons to promote open access publications in 59 Spanish universities and the CSIC, the largest research institution in Spain.

The agreement reached will allow a high volume of articles published by CSIC correspondence authors in hybrid titles to be published in open access.
    Until December 31, 2024, the CSIC will be able to continue accessing the 1,800 ScienceDirect journals.
