Publish Open Access Without Paying APCs!
Some of the library's subscriptions with major academic publishers, known as "Read and Publish" agreements, allow you to publish open access articles without having to cover the publication fees (Article Processing Charges -APCs) yourself. At Centrale Lyon, these agreements are in place with Elsevier, Springer, IOP, Cambridge, and Wiley.
MORE INFO: Find all the details about these agreements – how they work, their limitations, and the eligible journals – on the "Read and Publish Agreements" page in our Research Services section.

DATALystE launch day: online replay
To mark its official recognition last January, the Lyon Saint-Etienne Data Hub (DATALYstE) held its launch event at Centrale Lyon on June 30.
The video of the roundtable discussion on data reuse — featuring, among others, Christoph Brandstetter, who spoke about data sharing in the CATANA project — is now available on Replay Centrale Lyon.
MORE INFO: The Network of data management clusters, coordinated by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR), aims to provide localized support for research data management and open science across academic sites. It brings together institutional expertise and services to offer coordinated assistance. For more information about DATALYstE, visit its website, where you'll find educational resources and a single point of contact.
Resources
Online examples of data management plans
The library, in conjunction with Centrale Lyon's computing center, offers support for writing Data Management Plans (DMPs), which are deliverables required by research funders (ANR, ERC...). One of the main challenges researchers face is the lack of available examples of completed DMPs. RDA France addresses this need by providing a collection of disciplinary data management plans that can be used as examples. This collection is regularly updated and, while it does not yet cover all disciplines, already includes DMPs in Computer Science, Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Electrical Engineering.

Data Centrale Lyon: share your research data!
For the past year, Centrale Lyon has been operating Data Centrale Lyon, an institutional space on the national research data repository, Recherche.data.gouv. Around twenty datasets have been deposited so far, with over 10,000 views and nearly 5,000 downloads. Each dataset is assigned a DOI, making it citable and linkable to a publication.
The repository provides a solution for sharing data in any context: ANR-funded projects with open data requirements, requests from publisher or reviewers during the publication process, etc. Each submission undergoes curated and receives support from the library and the computing center.
MORE INFO: You can find all the information about Centrale Lyon’s research data support services in the Research Services section of our website. For any questions, feel free to contact us at: donnees-recherche@listes2.ec-lyon.fr.
Readings
We invite you to explore three articles on the current scientific publishing ecosystem and its key challenges: two articles from Le Monde, accessible via our Europresse press database (authentication with your Centrale Lyon credentials), and one open access article from The Guardian.
Save the date!
Developed by Inist-Cnrs, Click & Read is an easy-to-use extension that can be installed in your daily environment, providing shared access to scientific publications. The extension scans the webpage you visit for document identifiers (DOI, PMID, PII) and adds a C&R button if the resource is available. For information on dates and connection links, click here !
Grenoble Alpes University is organizing a webinar on Thursday, September 18th, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, focusing on the issue of reproducibility during the PhD, presented by three PhD students. An email with all the details and the connection link will be sent shortly to the PhD students of Centrale Lyon.
