More than 80% of the scientific production of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló during the year 2023, such as books, book chapters, articles and other formats, is in open access, and this figure rises to 83% in the case of articles only, according to the *Open Access Thermometer* presented by the vice-rector for Research, Jesús Lancis; professor Ramón Feenstra, coordinator of this first report, and the director of the Library, Paloma Garrido, as part of the activities of the Open Access Week.

With this report, which is part of the actions approved in July 2024 within the Action Plan of the Universitat Jaume I in the framework of the National Open Science Strategy (2023-2027) and with the collaboration of the European project Catalysis, the UJI advances in its commitment to open access and initiates the commemorative activities of the International Open Access Week 2024, which as the previous edition, has the slogan "Community versus commercialisation", with the intention of promoting collective actions in this regard.

The activities of this commemoration will be completed with a training activity on the Data Management Plan aimed at research staff with projects of the State Research Agency (AEI). In addition, a campaign will be carried out on social networks with practical information on where to find open access resources and how to disseminate open research.

**UJI's Open Access Thermometer**

If we compare these data in terms of the articles available in open access with the average of Valencian public universities, we can see how the UJI is slightly above the average in WoS databases, OpenAlex and, especially, in terms of Scopus, where the UJI is 3.5 points above the average of Valencian universities.

The document also shows the resources allocated to the different open access channels: the payment of a fee for open access publication in journals (APC: Article Processing Charge), the promotion of the university diamond journals (non-commercial open access) and the green route with the institutional repositories, as well as other training and dissemination actions carried out throughout the year, promoted by the Vice-Rector's Office for Research and the Library.

The UJI has managed to consolidate ten diamond-track journals, all of them with the quality seal of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). These publications have strengthened its projects by improving their quality indicators and, at the same time, have promoted a sustainable open access model in terms of costs.

With regard to the institutional repository, since 2009 the UJI has maintained a repository in which the teaching and research community deposit copies of their publications, with the aim of making them accessible to the whole of society, and which is a true reflection of the university's commitment to open access policies.

Among the training and dissemination activities carried out, two conferences and two training courses were held, two regulations related to journals were drafted, three conferences were attended and a new website on the Open Science Strategy (ENCA-UJI) was created. A video on what Open Access is has also been published on YouTube, and a new publication, [Revistas depredadoras](http://www.uji.es/serveis/cd/base/investigacio/revistesdepredadores/depredadores/) [Predatory journals], has been published, which includes a series of tips and resources on how to identify potential predatory journals or conferences.

This first report on open access at the UJI responds to the current National Strategy for Open Science (ENCA), published in 2023, and the various commitments that the University has made to promote the Open Access movement, which highlights the urgency of sharing the results of publicly funded research, as well as the data used, so that citizens can consult them without any restrictions other than having access to the Internet and without financial cost.
