Just two weeks ago, ScienceOpen celebrated a new a partnership with Vilnius University Press (VUP) and Liverpool University Press (LUP), which brought to ScienceOpen a number of additional collections in humanities, social and life sciences. In doing so, they joined our portfolio of collaborations with university publishers such as UCL Press, University of Huddersfield Press, Tsinghua University Press, Ternopil National Medical University and FZ Jülich.  In this blog post, we want to focus on university presses and how our platform can assist them in bringing science closer to being easily accessible, open and transparent.

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.
