The Royal Society, the UK’s national science academy, and ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, have announced a content syndication partnership that will see the addition of 5,000 open access (OA) articles from journals Open Biology and Royal Society Open Science to ResearchGate.
The goal of the partnership is to increase the visibility, accessibility, and consumption of Royal Society gold open access publications in alignment with the Society’s purpose to recognize, promote, and support excellence in science and encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity.
The Royal Society publishes international, high-quality journals that cover the full range of science. Since creating the world’s first science journal Philosophical Transactions in 1665, the Society continues to innovate by supporting open access and advocating open science policies. As a non-profit society publisher, any income generated goes back into supporting and progressing the global scientific community.
