Repositories

There are a number of collections of scholarship in Spain housed in digital open access repositories. They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read. As of March 2018, the UK-based Directory of Open Access Repositories lists some 131 repositories in Spain.{{cite web |url= http://www.opendoar.org/countrylist.php?cContinent=Europe#Spain |title= Spain |work= Directory of Open Access Repositories |publisher= University of Nottingham |location= UK |access-date= 20 March 2018 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090206084105/http://www.opendoar.org/countrylist.php?cContinent=Europe#Spain |archive-date= 6 February 2009 |url-status= dead }} Those with the most digital assets include Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert, Tesis Doctorals en Xarxa, GREDOS (of Universidad de Salamanca), Biblioteca Virtual del Patrimonio Bibliográfico (of Ministry of Culture), and Digital CSIC (of Spanish National Research Council). Related to this are SciELO and DialNet.

Most universities in Spain maintain an institutional repository, collectively searchable via the "Recolecta" digital platform.{{cite web |url= http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/portals-and-platforms/goap/access-by-region/europe-and-north-america/spain/ |work=Global Open Access Portal |title=Spain |publisher=UNESCO |access-date= 20 March 2018 }}{{citation |url=https://guides.lib.ku.edu/c.php?g=95187&p=617497 |title= Top University Repositories in Spain |work= Open Access Spanish & Latin American Repositories |author=Mary Raple |publisher=University of Kansas |location=US |access-date= 14 July 2018 }}
