IEEE announced that it has reached a three-year open access agreement with CRUE, a consortium of Spanish universities, to support authors in Spain who wish to publish open access.
With this new agreement, all researchers belonging to participating Spanish institutions can publish open access articles in approximately 200 leading journals and magazines published by IEEE. This makes critical papers instantly available and free to read by the public, supporting CRUE’s mission to help make their authors’ publications open to the world. Under the terms of the agreement, authors from participating institutions in Spain can publish open access in any of IEEE’s 160 hybrid open access journals. Further, authors will also receive a 20% discount off the article processing charges (APCs) for publishing in any of IEEE’s fully open access journals.
With this agreement, there are now more than 500 institutions who have open access agreements with IEEE. To learn more, please view the full release here.
IEEE recently hosted a free webinar, which reviews the opportunities Spanish authors have to enhance the visibility and impact of their research by publishing in the many open access options available from IEEE under the CRUE – Conferencia de Rectores de las Universidades Españolas agreement. Also, learn how to publish using your institution’s open access agreement to pay for APCs. Register now to view a recording of the webinar.
