ResearchGate and CABI announce Journal Home partnership
ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and CABI, an international, intergovernmental, not-for-profit scientific research and publishing organisation, have announced a new partnership that will increase the visibility of CABI’s research journals through ResearchGate’s innovative Journal Home offering. CABI is ResearchGate’s first IGO partner publisher with the following journals included in the partnership: CABI One Health (open access), CABI Reviews (hybrid) and Human-Animal Interactions (open access).
CABI publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles covering global agricultural and environmental issues and the applied life sciences. The published research enables people to discover validated, evidence-based information to help them overcome some of the world’s biggest challenges. The partnership will see the version-of-record from three of CABI’s journals, including archive content and new articles on publication, made available on ResearchGate, increasing the reach and readership of these titles with ResearchGate’s community of 26 million researcher members.
Journal Home will additionally deliver enhanced brand visibility for the CABI journals. Dedicated journal profiles will be activated on the ResearchGate platform and will also be prominently featured on all associated articles and relevant touchpoints throughout the network. These profiles support readers and potential authors by providing key information and content from the journals, as well as allowing ResearchGate members to explore how their own network is connected to a journal.
For CABI authors, the ResearchGate partnership means their articles will be automatically uploaded to their ResearchGate profile. This provides an opportunity for authors, often working in areas that support both practitioners and scientists, to understand who is benefiting from their work through insights about who is reading their content as well as the means to connect with their readers.
“We are delighted to be working with ResearchGate to make our journals even more accessible to researchers globally,” said Erika Newton, Journals Publisher at CABI. “Journal Home presents a new way for our journals and authors to interact and engage with researchers around the world, which is highly important in CABI’s mission to ensure content is accessible to all those who need it.”
“We’re excited to be working with CABI as our first IGO, not-for-profit partner publisher,” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “CABI’s essential research is helping to address the sustainable development goals and solve global challenges. By harnessing the highly relevant researcher community on ResearchGate, we can help to expand the reach and readership of their important works to new audiences around the world.”
