Supporting and advancing open research in China
ChronosHub, comments:
“Open Access is great in many ways, but also adds complexity for all stakeholders in the research ecosystem. That is particularly true in China, which is already the 2nd largest market for OA today. Enormous amounts of APCs need to be paid, and each transaction requires extensive manual and costly work, impacting millions of researchers. We are therefore very excited about partnering with Charlesworth and many publishers to transform the research ecosystem in China and unburden the researchers and their institutions together.”
ChronosHub Head of Business Development, Martin Jagerhorn
The Charlesworth Group comments:
“We value ChronosHub’s commitment to transforming research publishing through promoting and supporting open science. As well as being a huge market for APCs, Chinese Universities are also starting to develop their own transformational policies. With 22 years of local experience and a deep understanding of open access workflows, we are in a unique position to help foster meaningful relationships with the Chinese research community. We are delighted to be working with ChronosHub to help them take their innovative OA product to market in China.”
The Charlesworth Group CEO, Michael Evans
