ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, today announced a new Journal Home agreement with the MIT Press, one of the largest and most distinguished university presses in the world.
The agreement will see Journal Home activated for five MIT Press journals – including both open access and hybrid titles. All full-text version-of-records from the participating journals, whose disciplines cover neuroscience, linguistics and computation, will be syndicated to ResearchGate and available to its membership of 25m+ researchers. This includes access to subscription articles for entitled users, as well as all fully open access content, boosting discoverability and expanding usage of MIT Press content.
The MIT Press journals participating in Journal Home will benefit from being discoverable and accessible through the ResearchGate platform, including having a dedicated journal profile, which provides key information and content from the journal, as well as unique insights into the journal’s communities.
Authors published in these MIT Press journals will also benefit from this new agreement with their articles automatically uploaded to their ResearchGate profiles – providing them with a deeper understanding of the demographics of their readership and of who is citing and sharing their work.
“Part of our MIT Press mission is to lead by pushing the boundaries of scholarly publishing,” said Nick Lindsay, Director of Journals and Open Access at the MIT Press. “By utilizing ResearchGate’s global online network of researchers through Journal Home, we can ensure the broadest possible access and audience for our authors’ work. We look forward to gaining a deeper understanding of how readers are engaging with our journals and growing our authorship through Journal Home.”
“We’re excited to be working with the MIT Press, a fellow pioneer of innovative approaches to publishing and supporting the international researcher community,” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “By enhancing awareness of their titles through Journal Home, we are positioned to help them find new relevant authors globally and connecting existing authors and publications to an engaged global network of the right readers.”
