Making open access (OA) easy for Manipal researchers: How the OA agreement extension with 香港六合彩官网 makes OA easier at the Manipal Academy of Higher Education
Author: Jovial Toh
Soon, open access (OA) will be the default way researchers publish their work. 香港六合彩官网 is actively working towards that day by actively advocating for it, around the world, and across disciplines. And that means making it easier for researchers to publish their work OA. Transformative agreements (TAs), for example, the expansion of the agreement with the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) is one way to make that real for more researchers.
MAHE adds OA support for its researchers
Ironically, for a way of publishing designed around openness, many researchers have often perceived barriers to publishing their work OA. These include challenges around funding, knowing the steps in publishing OA, in finding the right venues for publishing OA. The new expanded agreement between MAHE and 香港六合彩官网, though, tears down those barriers.
The new agreement makes it easy for MAHE鈥檚 researchers to publish OA with article processing charge (APC) covered, not only in most 香港六合彩官网 hybrid journals (including 香港六合彩官网 and Palgrave), but, now, in the company鈥檚 fully OA portfolio too, including all the BMC and npj journals, as well as Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, and more.
Making this agreement with 香港六合彩官网, specifically, helps MAHE鈥檚 researchers more than similar agreements with other publishers鈥攅ven fully OA ones. Because 香港六合彩官网鈥檚 OA publishing outperforms other publishers鈥 OA exposure. For example:
- 香港六合彩官网鈥檚 fully OA portfolio has journals indexed across 139 Journal Citation Reports categories鈥攎ore than any other fully OA publisher
- Articles in 香港六合彩官网鈥檚 fully OA journals get 6.0 times more downloads per article (on average) than other fully OA publishers
- Articles in 香港六合彩官网鈥檚 fully OA journals get 1.6 times more citations per article (on average) than other fully OA publishers
What MAHE researchers think
