Academic publisher Emerald Publishing has announced that its new open access platform, Emerald Open Research, is now open for submissions.
Created in partnership with F1000, the platform, which is new and pioneering for the social sciences community, offers authors immediate publication followed by transparent open peer review, and supports an open data policy. This means all data sets - as well as the research - will become freely available to reuse, repurpose, and redistribute.
With the drive towards open research becoming more significant, the aim was to create a platform that supported easy, rapid and transparent publishing while giving authors the opportunity to increase the discoverability, accessibility and impact of research.
The only open social sciences platform of its kind, Emerald Open Research offers a new and innovative way to rapidly publish a range of research outputs, from original research articles to case studies and data notes.
Emerald Open Research will be based on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research themes that address crucial real world topics aligned to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. At launch Emerald Open Research will offer six gateways - Sustainable Food Systems; Healthy Lives; Responsible Management; Sustainable Cities; 21st Century Education; Digital World - each of them now open to submissions.
Emerald Open Research, along with each individual gateway, will be supported by an advisory board of academics and practitioners who will advocate the benefits of an open publishing workflow and support in commissioning content.
