Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an emerging technology; it has become one of the driving forces behind the transformation of many aspects of our society, including scientific research. However, this technological revolution also poses significant challenges that undoubtedly affect our professional field of libraries, archives, and all the services they provide.
The CSIC’s Programa de Sport a la Publicació en Accés Obert (PROA) -Open Access Publication Support Program- has funded the publication of 14,524 scientific articles between 2020 and 2025, establishing itself as one of the main institutional tools for promoting open-access science. During this period, the number of funded works doubled (+102%), rising from 1,573 articles in 2020 to 3,174 in 2025—the highest figure ever recorded by the program.
The JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments) educational platform has launched JoVE Visualize, an innovative online tool that transforms the way researchers and students access and understand scientific literature.
