Emerald Publishing has joined the Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA), a cross-publisher initiative whereby scholarly publishers open the abstracts of their publications to allow for unrestricted availability of abstracts to enhance the discovery of research. I4OA is supported by a large number of research funders, libraries and library associations, infrastructure providers, and open science organisations.
As part of the initiative, Emerald seeks to distribute the abstracts of scholarly publications, with a focus on journal articles and book chapters through Crossref, to facilitate large-scale access, and promote discovery of critical research. This will allow greater discoverability both in terms of human search as well as via Crossref that has the capacity to bring abstracts together in a common format in one global, cross-disciplinary repository.
