University of Barcelona Joins COPE

M. Teresa Anguera, Vicerector for teaching and scientific policies, on behalf of the Rector, Professor Didac Ramirez, has committed the Universitat de Barcelona to the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity. The action follows on from the university's recent establishment of an open-access fund to underwrite publication fees for articles written by members of the university and published in open-access journals. The University of Barcelona is the first European university to join the Compact.
