ResearchGate, the professional network connecting over 25 million researchers worldwide, has announced a new partnership with Copernicus Publications, an innovative open-access publisher. This collaboration, called the Journal Home partnership, aims to enhance the visibility and engagement of Copernicus’ open-access journals by making their content available to the global research community on ResearchGate’s platform.
Copernicus Publications, which has been publishing leading peer-reviewed, open-access journals since 2001, is renowned for pioneering new approaches to scientific quality assurance, such as its Interactive Public Peer Review™ model. With this partnership, Copernicus hopes to drive greater scientific discussion and collaboration by tapping into ResearchGate’s extensive network of researchers.
Through the Journal Home partnership, all version-of-record content from Copernicus’ subscribing journals—including both new articles and archival material—will be accessible on ResearchGate. This will provide Copernicus with global visibility through dedicated journal profiles and prominent branding on article pages and throughout the ResearchGate platform.
Authors publishing in Copernicus journals will also see their work automatically uploaded to their ResearchGate profiles, increasing the visibility of their research and allowing them to track engagement, including citations and article consumption. This new system fosters greater interaction with readers and peers, offering authors a valuable opportunity to deepen their professional networks and impact.
The partnership marks a significant step forward in the dissemination of open-access research, enabling Copernicus Publications to expand its reach and ResearchGate to continue fostering scientific collaboration across disciplines.
