Throughout 2024, CRUE and CSIC have been working on renewing the national publishing and reading agreements reached with ACS, Elsevier, Springer Nature and Wiley.<\/p>\n
Agreements have been reached with Wiley and Springer that are pending the signing of the respective contracts, while negotiations are still underway with ACS and Elsevier.<\/p>\n
This situation does not affect reading, which will remain available while renewals or negotiations are completed, as appropriate, but it does affect publication:<\/p>\n
Springer Nature and Wiley (in pre-agreement phase): publication will not be affected at Springer Nature, while at Wiley there will be a delay in funding for open access articles until the contract is signed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
ACS and Elsevier (under negotiation): the delay will last until negotiations are finalized.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The remaining publishing and reading agreements negotiated directly by ULL (Cambridge University Press, MDPI, Company of Biogists and PLOS -new-) have been operational since January 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
