ScienceOpen, the research and publishing network, has created a tool for researchers to create their own 'best of' collections from among over 10 million articles across all publishers and journals. The 'Collection' principle may change the way scientists access and prioritise academic literature in journals.
ScienceOpen Collections provide valuable aspects of classical journals such as topic-specific bundling, editorial selection, peer review and quality assurance. Moreover it enables these features independent of journal and publication date and free of cost.
For academic authors, the post-publication activity around their scholarly article – such as being included in a ScienceOpen Collection and the visibility associated with that, may bring more reputation to their work than the so-called journal impact factor. The goal is a faster and fairer evaluation process.
