ScienceOpen is excited to announce that it now includes books and book chapters to give users a richer discovery experience and to support academic publishers with book sales. Embedded within an interactive environment of nearly 60 million article records, this new feature highlights books and chapters within search results and ScienceOpen’s unique Collections infrastructure. Researchers can now add book publications to their profiles and include books and chapters in their ScienceOpen Collections. Publishers will be able to promote and sell their open access and copyrighted works within a broad, interdisciplinary research context.
The ScienceOpen Collections ‘Psychology by AKJournals’ and ‘Life Sciences by AKJournals’ are online! They join ‘Methods’ as no. 2 and no. 3 out of five planned AKJournals’ Collections. This combined release brings together nine scientific journals, which are a valuable source of knowledge on disciplines ranging from human behavioral studies, through medicine, to biology. The new content is interdisciplinary and diverse, and surely will be a treat for many groups of researchers! Read more for an overview of AKJournals’ freshly featured materials.
Publishers, editors, and authors are increasingly experimenting with new communication channels that meet the high standards of “Open Science”. The exciting new journal 4open by EDP Sciences was founded on the four pillars of open science: open access, open data, open code, and open peer review. 4open includes all types of articles and is dedicated to publishing high-quality content in all disciplines of science and research, including materials and engineering. As an interdisciplinary journal that accepts a wide range of research adhering to open science principles, it is an important new addition to the contextual discovery environment on ScienceOpen.
The 4open journal will be featured on ScienceOpen with an attractive Collection landing page, “submit manuscript” button, interactive features, journal and article level metrics, as well as community curation and post-publication article review infrastructure. The journal is off to a great start and has already published 34 articles across a wide range of topics in this completely open model, from cancer research and public health to materials science, mathematics and scholarly publishing. You can now search and sort the full set of articles on ScienceOpen.
According to a
recently published LSE Impact Blog article, society publishing might
just be the key to realizing an open access future. Committed to open science
practices, ScienceOpen has been supporting scholarly society journals since its
foundation in 2013 and continues to do so by integrating society research on
the platform in the form of featured Collections.
Established in 1969, Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is South
Asia’s largest and fastest growing medical publisher that supports the medical
community as an education resource from the undergraduate to practitioner
level. ScienceOpen’s partnership with Jaypee puts orthopedics research into a
broader scholarly context that facilitates and increases its discoverability.

To support open access scientific publishing and
increase the discoverability of genetics and genomics research, ScienceOpen has
partnered with the Genetics Society of America (GSA) to integrate the open access journal G3: Genes, Genomes, Geneticsinto the ScienceOpen discovery environment in the form of
a featured collection.
GSA’s open access journal G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics provides a forum for the publication of high-quality genetics and genomics research such as genome maps, single gene studies, genome‐wide association and QTL studies, as well as genome reports, mutant screens, and advances in methods and technology. Furthermore, G3 has published thematic collections on Genomic Prediction, Multiparental Populations, Genetics of Immunity, and Genetics of Sex. As a featured collection on ScienceOpen, this journal is placed in a digital research environment of interactive tools that increases the discoverability of its findings.
