This presentation explains the process of development of the electronic edition of the scientific Journals published by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Revistas-CSIC (http://revistas.csic.es/) provides online access to the contents of the 32 scientific journals presently published by the CSIC. After the signature of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access by the Institution on Jan 2006, the CSIC Publications Department is progressively providing open access to these 32 journals via Revistas-CSIC, an OJS-based electronic resource working over an OAI-PMH protocol.
