Access to reliable scientific information sources is important for deepening and disseminating knowledge.
These services include journal subscriptions, as well as open-access platforms that support the projects of students, teachers, and researchers.
Access to most of these services is based on connection to RCTS.
If your entity is part of the academic or scientific community and is not yet connected to our services, see how to join the RCTS network.
FCCN, digital services of FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology provides a set of services that promote the practice of Open Science – a movement that aims to make scientific research more transparent, accessible, and collaborative. This means that research data, methods, and results are shared openly so that everyone can reuse them, verify their validity, and contribute to their development, increasing trust in science and helping to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation.
