ACS transformative ‘read and publish’ agreement expands open access in Spain - American Chemical Society

Researchers affiliated with institutions of the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (Crue) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) will now be able to publish their research articles open access with no additional costs, following a landmark transformative “read and publish” agreement with the Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS). With this agreement, ACS continues to actively support the European academic market, having similar agreements with 328 other institutions in over 20 countries. Researchers in European markets increasingly find themselves required to publish open access. To meet this need, ACS is leading the way in developing transformative agreements that enable institutions to ensure their researchers can publish in the world’s premier chemistry journals and meet their funders’ terms.
