ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and Sciedu Press, a publisher specialising in scientific and education content, have today announced a new Journal Home partnership covering a selection of fully open access (OA) journals.
The agreement includes 5 fully open access Sciedu Press journals covering a range of fields including education, finance, and business. Through the partnership, the participating journals will now benefit from the extended visibility offered through Journal Home, increasing readership internationally among ResearchGate’s active community of 25m+ researcher members.
With Journal Home’s expansive features – which include dedicated journal profiles, full text article pages, and discoverability across other touchpoints on the platform, such as network feeds – Sciedu Press will reach new readers and potential authors, enabling them to understand how their network is connected with a journal. Meanwhile, Journal Home’s unique insights will allow Sciedu Press to understand how researchers are interacting with their journals, building on these interactions to create engaged communities around their portfolio.
For Sciedu Press authors, the new partnership enhances the author services they provide, with automatic updates of published articles to member profiles – amplifying new publications to their networks and increasing visibility and usage. Unique platform insights provided to authors on who is reading and citing their work will enable them to find new opportunities to engage and collaborate with other relevant researchers globally.
“Sciedu Press’ partnership with ResearchGate enhances our journals’ offering to the science and education communities we serve,” said Wenwu Zhao, the President and Director, Sciedu Press. “Through higher visibility and readership, we look forward to attracting new international researchers to our journals as readers and authors and helping grow our global researcher community.”
“Our partnership with Sciedu Press is a great example of smaller and niche publishers being able to better enable their content to reach highly engaged and relevant researchers around the world – opening up more collaboration, and contribution opportunities for researchers,” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “With the increase in discoverability and the growth in journal and content usage that Journal Home offers, Sciedu Press can look forward to greater awareness and engagement for their journals with researcher communities worldwide.”
