ResearchGate and University of California Press expand partnership
ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and University of California Press (UC Press) have announced an expansion of their Journal Home partnership, extending coverage to a greater proportion of the press’s journal portfolio.
UC Press initially piloted five journals within Journal Home before increasing participation to 15 titles following what it described as a successful first year of engaging new communities, growing usage and reaching new and existing authors. Under the latest agreement, 30 UC Press journals will now benefit from Journal Home’s visibility and engagement tools.
The expanded partnership will increase support across disciplines including History, Sociology, Asian Studies and Psychology.
Select UC Press journals participating in Journal Home will benefit from full-text content integration within the ResearchGate platform, helping to drive increased usage and readership among relevant research communities. The initiative is also designed to strengthen engagement with authors and prospective authors by connecting journals with researchers throughout the research lifecycle, from reading and sharing content to submission.
“Our partnership with ResearchGate has allowed us to deepen our engagement with the research communities we serve,” said David Famiano, Journals Director, University of California Press. “Our Journal Homes, including syndicated content and entitlement data, have enabled more meaningful interactions with our content, and have provided our journals with an expanded international reach. We look forward to growing our ResearchGate Journal Home partnership in 2026.”
“We’re delighted with University of California Press’ decision to once again expand our Journal Home partnership,” said Mathias Astell, VP of Commercial Products at ResearchGate. “Their broadening coverage strengthens the visibility, usage, and authorship of their journals by connecting them with the most relevant researcher and author communities all over the world.”
