Open access in Spain

[1][2] The first peer-reviewed open access Spanish journal, Relieve, began in 1995.

[4] There are a number of collections of scholarship in Spain housed in digital open access repositories.

[5] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read.

[5] Those with the most digital assets include Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert, Tesis Doctorals en Xarxa, GREDOS (of Universidad de Salamanca), Biblioteca Virtual del Patrimonio Bibliográfico (of Ministry of Culture), and Digital CSIC (of Spanish National Research Council).

Most universities in Spain maintain an institutional repository, collectively searchable via the "Recolecta" digital platform.
