Academic publisher Pensoft Publishers has announced the integration of its editorial management platform (Pensoft Journal System) with its OpenAIRE harvesting mechanism. The integration will ensure that articles funded by the European Union's Seventh Framework Program (FP7) can automatically be tracked by OpenAIRE to make them even more visible and accessible. Funding agencies and institutions can now easily find and access publications resulting from projects supported by public funds.
OpenAIRE encourages publishers to support authors in open access publishing and dissemination, alert them about the availability of publication funds, allow immediate deposition in open access repositories and – last but not least – to register their journals at the OpenAIRE website. This suitably places publishers within research infrastructures which in turn allow the seamless integration of European and world-wide research.
Pensoft Publishers specialise in academic and professional book and open access journal publishing, mostly in the field of biodiversity science and natural history. Pensoft is also active in the field of data publishing and launched a model for 'data papers' in cooperation with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
