FECYT is a public foundation that supports the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN).
FECYT, on behalf of several leading Spanish universities, the Spanish National Research Council and the virtual libraries of Spain's health system chose SciVerse Scopus for of its broad range of global content and its ability to track citations for research performance measurement. Over the next three years, universities, research centers, governmental research institutes and local health councils across Spain will use the data provided by SciVerse Scopus.
