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.

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.
