Transformative Agreements

The Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities-CRUE has closed negotiations at national level with the publishers Elsevier, Wiley, Springer and ACS to reach transformative agreements for all Spanish universities, as is being done in different European countries. The aim is to transform the current subscription contracts into agreements that guarantee open access to articles authored by researchers, thus allowing the research community of universities and CSIC to have access to these articles.
