On May 14, 2024, the president of the International Association of Applied Economics ASEPELT, Mr. José-María Montero, met with Ms. Rosa Visiedo, vice president of the Spanish Confederation of University Rectors (CRUE) and asked her to transmit to CRUE the proposal that Spanish universities finance the open publication of Spanish journals with the FECyT Quality seal. Specifically, he proposed that two million euros of the 45 million that Spanish universities pay for the open access and publication of certain magazines from four large international publishers be allocated to Spanish magazines with the FECyT quality seal so that they do not disappear. On the contrary, in this way they serve as a vehicle for international researchers to show their research to the world through our journals, and these become global references.
At this meeting, which was also attended by the Honorary Rector of the CEU San Pablo University, Mr. Antonio Calvo, the situation of the official ASEPELT journal, Studies of Applied Economics, was also discussed.
ASEPELT brings together faculties and departments of Economics from more than 80% of Spanish universities. In addition, it has a significant number of international institutional members from both the academic and business fields.
After the last meeting, held on March 1, the ASEPELT Executive Board has two new members: professors José Antonio Ordaz Sanz, from the Pablo de Olavide University, and Antonio Calvo Bernardino, from the San Pablo CEU University. Our warmest welcome on behalf of ASEPELT!
