ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), an international scientific union with the goal to advance the field of crystallography, have established a content partnership.
Under the agreement, articles from the open access journals IUCrJ, Acta Crystallographica Section E, and IUCrData will be shared directly to the ResearchGate platform on publication, with the goal of facilitating the discovery of and access to new research in crystallography. Authors submitting to these journals will see their articles added automatically to their publication pages on ResearchGate, giving them access to statistics showing the impact of their work, and enabling them to connect with their readers. Approximately 2,500 open access articles will be added to the platform at the start of the agreement.
ResearchGate has 349,000 members with an interest in the field of crystallography. When related fields such as structural biology (187,000 members) and materials science (1,6 million members) are included, several million members are potentially set to benefit from this partnership.
