News – IGI Global Scientific Publishing Partners with ScienceDirect to Expand Access to its Open Access Journals
By OSEI EDITOR
Last week, IGI Global Scientific Publishing announced the official launch of its partnership with ScienceDirect, Elsevier’s world-leading platform dedicated to peer-reviewed primary scientific and medical research.
Expanding Open Access Worldwide
Open access publishing continues to enhance the current scholarly landscape, giving researchers, educators, practitioners, and librarians greater opportunities to share and discover knowledge without financial barriers. Earlier this year, IGI Global Scientific Publishing expanded its collaboration with ResearchGate to have its full open access journal portfolio hosted on the platform and available to over 25 million researchers. Now, the publisher has taken another step forward in the open access movement by partnering with ScienceDirect, an initiative Elsevier started back in 1999. Over 25 years later, ScienceDirect has begun partnering with leading scholarly publishers (starting with the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley) to syndicate open access content on the platform. Elsevier continues to strengthen the ScienceDirect platform, from expanding content syndication partnerships to experimenting with GenAI to personalize user experiences through AI-driven discovery tools.
Through this collaboration, IGI Global Scientific Publishing’s open-access journals, indexed in Scopus, will now be available on ScienceDirect. This integration expands access to libraries and millions of researchers worldwide, and increase visibility and impact for authors and editors contributing to IGI Global Scientific Publishing’s Open Access Journal Program.
This milestone highlights both publishers’ mission to ensure high-impact, open access research is equally accessible across the globe.
