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 organization is part of the academic or scientific community and is not yet connected to our services, see how to join the RCTS network.
FCCN, the digital services of the FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, offers a range 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 research data, methods and results are shared openly so that everyone can reuse them, check their validity and contribute to their development, increasing trust in science and helping to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation.
