ACCUCOMS, a provider of sales and marketing services for publishers, has announced a new agreement to represent GeoScienceWorld in Taiwan.
According to The Higher Education in Taiwan Report (2012 – 2013), those who received higher education account for over 60 percent of Taiwan's population. The country also ranks seventh in global competitiveness for higher education out of a total of 59 countries (World Competitiveness Yearbook 2012) and it is one of the top three countries in Asia when it comes to tertiary education.
Furthermore, Taiwan invests approximately US$ 400 million each and every year to encourage universities to improve standards for research and teaching. In fact, the Taiwan government invests a much greater percentage of the annual GDP to higher education in comparison to other Asian countries.
GeoScienceWorld (GSW) claims to be the only non-profit collaborative of its kind in the earth sciences. It was created in 2002 by seven leading geoscience societies as a single electronic journal (eJournal) aggregate. Since its founding, GSW has pursued a vision to make earth science research information easily and economically available worldwide via the internet.
The GSW eJournals platform includes 41 online journals (110,000+ articles) from 27 pre-eminent publishers; more than 3 million abstracts and links to relevant resources indexed by the American GeoSciences Institute in GeoRef; is enhanced with specialised search tools and social media tools developed in cooperation with HighWire Press and Google Maps; and serves millions of users each year in 41 countries worldwide.
ACCUCOMS is a global provider of sales and marketing services to academic and professional publishers. ACCUCOMS claims to be specialised in projects aimed at contacting librarians on behalf of publishers interested in boosting their sales, expanding their readership worldwide, and increasing customer retention by means of customer support and training services.
