ResearchGate and Taylor & Francis expand Journal Home partnership

ResearchGate and Taylor & Francis have expanded their Journal Home partnership, increasing coverage to 595 journals. In addition, Taylor & Francis has activated the pioneering Open Access Agreement Upgrade (OAAU) for all included journals and covering all their open access agreements.

The partners say the expanded partnership will make it easier for researchers to discover open access (OA) funding opportunities available to them through Taylor & Francis OA agreements. They will also be able to explore an additional 178 Taylor & Francis titles through Journal Home including unique journal profiles and enhanced discoverability and access across all touchpoints on the ResearchGate platform.

Taylor & Francis saw strong readership and authorship growth for the 417 titles activated on Journal Home throughout 2024 – with 1,450,000 individual researchers engaging with their journals on the ResearchGate platform and producing more than 6,600,000 reads of the 140,000 articles included.

Emily Farrell, Global Commercial Director for Open Research at Taylor & Francis, said: “Our network of OA agreements is growing fast and we’re now partnering with over 1,000 institutions around the globe to boost open access publishing. However, it can still be difficult for authors to navigate available OA funding pathways. Journal Home’s OAAU should make OA publishing opportunities in our journals more visible for eligible authors and therefore help to further increase the amount of new research openly available to readers worldwide.”

Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate, added: “Our partnership with Taylor & Francis continues to bring increased benefits to authors and readers and now, with more journals included and the OAAU, Taylor & Francis can leverage Journal Homes’ unique capabilities to strengthen their journey towards an open research future. We’re delighted to see this relationship deepen further, and to see how the OAAU can help grow the reach of Taylor & Francis’ OA agreements.”
