Summary:

[From Google translate] Article 37 of the Science Act

The revelation a few days ago in El Confidencial of the millions of euros that Spanish universities and research centres spend each year on subscriptions to scientific journals (only about 25 million euros a year are destined for the main publisher, Elsevier) has caused that, this week, the group of Citizens in the Congress of Deputies has raised a key question: "Does the Government intend to act in any way to achieve better conditions, as other countries do?",

In reality, however, the government has been thinking about this problem for quite some time. At least since the end of 2014.

Not only because it is much higher than other countries in the world are paying, but because it also paralyzes the application of the Law of Science. This legislation, approved in 2011, has never been able to be implemented in its article 37 (Open Access Broadcasting), which obliges that scientific works financed mainly by the General State Budgets must be made public.
