Access to reliable sources of scientific information is important for the deepening and dissemination of knowledge.
These services include subscriptions to journals, as well as open access platforms that support student, teacher and researcher projects.
Access to most of these services relies on connection to RCTS.
If your academic or scientific entity is not yet part of RCTS, see here how to join.
The FCCN Unit 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 data, methods and research 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.
