Spanish Repository of Science and Technology

The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), dependent on the Ministry of Science and Innovation, has created RECYT (Spanish Repository of Science and Technology) with the aim of supporting the professionalization and internationalization of Spanish scientific publications.

RECYT is a platform for managing, editing, and accessing the content of high-quality Spanish scientific journals. The repository includes:

• List of journals, a public section that displays the journals included in the repository, providing visibility and access to their content through this platform.
• User access, a private section for direct use of the tool that facilitates electronic management and comprehensive editing of the journal. This section also allows access to users who register as readers and authors of the journals.
• Possibility of registering new users where they can register in the desired journal as a reader or author, depending on the permissions granted by the journal.
• A Search tool in the Search section to locate the contents of the journals.
• A help manual for OJS editing in the journal's Help section..

Each journal decides the degree of use of RECYT. In this way, the electronic editing tool can be used without the need to publish the issues on the platform or publish the journal on the platform without using the comprehensive management service. Similarly, both services can be used.

The tool allows reducing the time and energy traditionally dedicated to journal publication. Additionally, it improves the quality of publications from many perspectives: making publication policies more transparent, improving article indexing, etc.
