ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and IOP Publishing (IOPP), the publishing arm of the Institute of Physics, today announces that IOP Publishing will further expand its coverage through Journal Home.
A further 25 IOPP and partner titles have been added to Journal Home taking the total number to 75. In addition, IOPP will activate Journal Home’s unique new Open Access Agreement Upgrade (OAAU) for all journals included in the partnership.
This latest expansion will bring increased usage, wider brand awareness and visibility, and high-quality authorship. With IOPP published articles shared on their ResearchGate profiles and networks, researchers will receive unique data on who is reading, citing and sharing their work.
The addition of OAAU reinforces IOPP’s commitment to increasing access to physical sciences research. IOPP can reach researchers on the platform who are eligible to publish open access through their institutional agreements. The OAAU enables this by providing IOPP with:
- A unique understanding based on publishing history and areas of research of the researchers on ResearchGate eligible to publish through an open access agreement.
- An unprecedented ability to reach and inform these researchers about their eligibility to publish open access in IOP Publishing journals relevant to their research area(s).
- Highly relevant messaging that is based on specific journals, ensuring the messaging is contextual and useful for each individual researcher.
- Sophisticated reporting and analytics that show the volume and effectiveness of messaging about IOP Publishing’s agreements at each stage of the publishing journey — from readership all the way through to authorship.
“Our collaboration with ResearchGate has continued to deliver a powerful impact for our authors and provide deeper insights into the global physical science community and their relationship with us. We’re excited to extend this across our journal portfolio.” said Claire Webber, Head of Content Engagement at IOP Publishing. “The OAAU provides further unique and effective ways to reach researchers, giving us the ability to be highly targeted and relevant in communicating the opportunities for funded open access in our titles.”
“Our partnership with IOP Publishing continues to deliver real value, with thousands of authors and many millions of article views being provided through Journal Home. The OAAU opens up unrivalled researcher-centric communication opportunities and further rich insights into the relevant global researcher communities.” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “We are excited to see how far Journal Home can help IOP Publishing’s journals grow in the coming years,”
