Join Stephanie Dawson for a rundown on best practice metadata in scholarly publishing and for strategies to increase machine-readability and discoverability. 

Today, we are happy to announce our launch of MyScienceOpen, the professional networking platform designed for a modern research environment.

Since 2013, ScienceOpen has been leading innovation in advanced search and discovery, open peer review, and content management. Now, by leveraging the power of ORCID, we bring you our latest service for helping researchers to make an impact in the open.

MyScienceOpen is an integrated profile where academics can visualize their research impact through enhanced author-level metrics. Key new features include:

• Interactive visualizations of an author’s readers, citations, and Altmetric scores for all their publications through time;
• Addition of non-specialist article summaries, disciplines, keywords, and images to their article records;
• Extraction of articles as RIS, BibTex and Endnote citation metadata for your reference managers;
• Enhanced statistics for collection Editors to track usage.

Making an impact in a research discovery ecosystem

We designed these new features for you to make an increased impact, and keep track as your research progresses. All of this is provided to you within the context of a discovery environment of more than 31 million article records. It just makes sense to have these profile and article enhancement features integrated into an ecosystem where people are actually discovering and re-using research. And for free, of course.
