Higher Education Press (HEP) will be indexing one of their flagship Open Access journals, Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (FASE), with ScienceOpen, adding to their current archive of over 11 million article records.
FASE is one of the leading Open Access journals in the fields of Agricultural Engineering, Resources and Biotechnology, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Applied Ecology, Crop Science, Forestry Engineering and Fisheries, Horticulture, and Plant Protection. By adding their content to ScienceOpen, they gain increased visibility which increases its value amidst a heterogeneous global publishing market.
This cooperation between HEP and ScienceOpen helps to recognise the great work that Chinese publishers are doing to spearhead Open Access publishing, and the dual commitment to enhancing the visibility and impact of scholarly research in Engineering Science fields.
For starters, the journal now has its own Collection. This means each article can be shared, recommended, peer reviewed, and commented upon, and as the content is all OA it's easily discoverable and accessible via the publishers website. As a result HEP will gain lot of additional traffic to their content.
Researchers can now openly peer review and re-use their content too, which adds substantial value to both the research process and the journal brand again, which are both important in a scholarly publishing system that is becoming progressively more open.
