CSIC and IntechOpen Cooperate on Open Access publishing
CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones
Científicas), the Spanish Research Council and IntechOpen are working together
to encourage Open Access publishing in Spain. In a new agreement, CSIC
affiliated academics and research centres will benefit from heavily discounted
publication fees and IntechOpen’s vast experience in Open Access book
publishing.
From January 2020, the Open Access book
