Wiley, a global leader in research and education, and ResearchGate, the largest professional network for researchers, has announced a cooperation agreement to explore ways in which Wiley and ResearchGate can collaborate to better support the needs of researchers through ResearchGate’s collaboration platform. Wiley and ResearchGate are committed to the protection of intellectual property rights for authors and publishers; and through this partnership, both companies will continue to support principled sharing of content while facilitating the discovery of and access to high-quality scholarly content for researchers.
As part of the cooperation agreement, Wiley and ResearchGate will experiment with new models of journal article discovery to better serve the companies’ shared objective of advancing research communication and collaboration; develop and share insights about the usage of Wiley content on the platform; collaborate on educating users about their rights in relation to copyright-protected content by providing clear and relevant information about how and when they may share their journal articles on the network; and work to promptly identify and address any copyright-infringing public sharing of Wiley content on the ResearchGate platform.
Wiley and ResearchGate reached this agreement with a shared dedication to supporting researchers in accessing and sharing high quality scholarly research. Wiley will no longer be a member of the Coalition for Responsible Sharing, but remains firm in its mission to find ways for researchers to responsibly collaborate in a copyright compliant manner. The Wiley and ResearchGate partnership is, above all, a reflection that the community is continually innovating and adapting to new ways of working together.
