De Gruyter has announced the new partnership with the OA Switchboard, a collaborative initiative designed to simplify and streamline the sharing of information about open access publications between institutions, libraries, funders, and publishers. The organization offers standardized exchange of metadata about OA publications throughout the publication journey and operates the supporting shared open infrastructure.
As of May 1st, 2024, automatic and real-time notifications of open access articles published in all De Gruyter journals will be sent to affiliated stakeholders active within the OA Switchboard. The standardized and structured delivery of metadata enables libraries and institutions to process and analyze publication data across publishers and feed these into their own systems and workflows.
This service is vital for the transparent reporting around De Gruyter’s growing portfolio of open access journals of all publishing models, and additionally to inform libraries about their affiliated authors benefiting from open access publication within De Gruyter’s Subscribe to Open (S2O) journals, the main model aiding in the publisher's large scale transformation to open access.
