IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, has reached a three-year open access agreement with CRUE (Conferencia de Rectores de las Universidades Españolas), 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.
Participating members of the CRUE consortium will have streamlined ease in publishing open access articles in IEEE periodicals, making articles instantly available and free to read by the general public; publication of all open access IEEE journal articles with a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license unless otherwise requested by the author; and read access rights to over 5 million articles, including all IEEE periodicals, all IEEE conference papers (approximately 200,000 added each year) and IEEE standards (essential to product design and planning).
