OPEN ACCESS ROUTES DICHOTOMY AND OPPORTUNITIES: CONSOLIDATION, ANALYSIS AND TRENDS AT THE SPANISH NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL
https://doi.org/10.24108/2658-3143-2019-2-4-248-275
Abstract
This article gives a comprehensive overview of recent Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) publications available in Open Access. With a focus on research articles from the last decade (2008–2018), this work aims to fill the gap in previous studies about publishing trends and impact monitoring of publications by researchers from the Spanish National Research Council. Evolution and main trends of Green and Gold Open Access routes at CSIC are addressed through a close insight into DIGITAL.CSIC repository and institutional Open Access Publishing Support Programme. The article draws on major conclusions at a time when an institutional Open Access mandate has just entered into force. The article also relates findings about performance of institutional Open Access Publishing Initiative and total volume of CSIC articles published in Open Access with an estimation of overall costs on article processing charges during these years. Furthermore, the data serve as a basis to make preliminary considerations as to opportunities to move from a subscription-based model to one fully aligned with Gold Open Access publishing. The data analyzed come from a variety of sources, including public information and internal records maintained by the CSIC E-resources Subscription programme, DIGITAL.CSIC and data retrieved from GesBIB, an internal, in-house development tool that integrates bibliographic information about CSIC publications as well as data from several external APIs, including Unpaywall, DOAJ and Sherpa Romeo.

18. В течение нескольких лет в Испании существует неформальная рабочая группа (Испанский национальный совет консорциумов), которая общается виртуально два раза в месяц, а когда это возможно, встречается лицом к лицу. В состав группы входят руководители всех национальных консорциумов университетских библиотек, отделов закупки университетских библиотек и CSIC. Это форум, на который выносятся вопросы всех переговоров с научными издательствами и соглашений на национальном уровне. Финансовое и техническое управление любым достигнутым соглашением осуществляется в каждом отдельном учреждении, самостоятельно, поскольку в Испании нет национальных консорциумов, таких как JISC, VSNU или Couperin. [There is an informal working group in Spain for several years (Spanish national board of consortia) which meets virtually twice a month, and faceto-face meetings whenever possible-composed by the directors of all national consortiums of university libraries, purchasing groups of university libraries and CSIC. It is a forum in which all concerns about negotiations with scientific publishers are brought together, and where possible, national-level agreements that benefit everyone. The financial and technical management of any agreement reached corresponds separately to each institution, since there are not any national consortia in Spain like JISC, VSNU or Couperin.]
