EDP Sciences, a prominent publisher in scientific research, has taken a significant step towards advancing open science by expanding its database linking capabilities on its publication platform. By integrating links to ALMA data curated by the ESO telescopic bibliography and reviewed preprints from Peer Community In, EDP Sciences aims to boost the discoverability and accessibility of research data, fostering a more integrated and efficient academic research environment.
In a move to streamline access to astronomical data, EDP Sciences has seamlessly incorporated links to ALMA data within the telbib database, accessible through its Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) journal. ALMA, renowned as one of the most significant astronomical observatories, now links directly to the telbib database, a bibliography of refereed papers published based on data obtained with ESO telescopes. This integration ensures a smooth connection between high-quality research articles and the underlying observational data, simplifying the research process for astronomers and astrophysicists while enhancing the transparency and reproducibility of research findings.
Additionally, EDP Sciences has forged partnerships with Peer Community In, a pioneering platform offering free recommendations of preprints in various fields, including mathematical and computational biology (PCI Math & Comp Biol), ecology (PCI Ecology), and others. Links to reviewed preprints on the PCI platform are now available for journals such as Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena, International Journal of Limnology, and Oilseeds and Fats, Crops and Lipids. This collaboration broadens researchers' access to peer-reviewed and recommended preprints alongside traditional journal articles, fostering a more inclusive scholarly communication model.
These strategic partnerships underscore EDP Sciences' commitment to enhancing academic research efficiency and impact through technological innovation and collaboration. By facilitating direct links between published articles and associated data repositories, EDP Sciences ensures researchers have seamless access to datasets, facilitating validation of research findings and encouraging further investigations.
