Channeling scientific information, an increasingly urgent need

Abstract

The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (Fecyt) is a governmental tool for the integration of ministerial activity. With its cross-sectional nature, Fecyt tries to ensure that universities, research centres and companies get the most out of innovation. It also pays great attention to the international impact of Spanish science through journals and repositories. In this article, the Fecyt director responsible for Integrated Management of Scientific Information describes their main objectives and activities.
