ResearchGate and The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) have announced a content syndication partnership that will see approximately 22,000 articles from 7 of AMS's fully open-access journals added to ResearchGate.
Under the agreement, articles from the Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, mBio, Microbiology Resource Announcements, Microbiology Spectrum, mSphere, mSystems, and Genome Announcements will be shared to the ResearchGate platform directly upon publication. The goal is to facilitate the discovery of and access to the latest research in microbiology.
Additionally, the backlist content of ASM's open-access journals will also be added to ResearchGate. Authors submitting to these journals will see their articles added automatically to their publication pages on ResearchGate, giving them access to statistics showing the impact of their work, and enabling them to connect with their readers.
ASM Journals publishes 15% of all microbiology articles and contributes 23% of all microbiology citations. By partnering, ResearchGate and ASM can bring their open-access content to the 420,000 ResearchGate members interested in microbiology – and when related fields are considered, several million ResearchGate members stand to benefit from this partnership.
