ScienceOpen has expanded its partnership with UCL Press, providing more tailored features that help showcase the cutting-edge research from UCL Press and all of the journals and publishers affiliated with the University College London.
UCL Press currently has 15 open-access journals in our research and discovery network, covering a wide range of topics in the humanities, law, and social sciences, as well as science, technology, and engineering. It is now easier to navigate and discover such an impressive scholarly offer, thanks to a dedicated platform powered by ScienceOpen that includes all of the open-access content and peer-reviewed publications from these journals in one single page.
UCL Open
UCL Press’s new open science and open peer-review journal platform can now be accessed at: ucl.scienceopen.com.
UCL Open: Environment is the first iteration and pilot journal of the platform that focuses on environment-related research.
UCL Open: Environment is the result of a close partnership between UCL Press and ScienceOpen, who collaborated to create a journal based on open review principles, following both ScienceOpen’s and UCL Press’s vision and commitment to open peer review and open science.
ScienceOpen’s rich discovery environment assists in locating expert reviewers. Our interface allows editors, authors, and researchers to browse registered users’ profiles, sorting by affiliation, keywords, publication numbers, and other criteria.
More visibility for UCL Press’ OA Journals
Apart from UCL Open, UCL Press publishes 14 other open-access academic journals on ScienceOpen. All these journals accept manuscripts free of charge, making an important contribution to the fields of social sciences, literature, and history, and helping in knowledge-sharing, by making scholarly information more accessible and relevant.
List of UCL OA Journals:
Having launched our open-access journals on the ScienceOpen platform in 2017 with 5 journals to now publishing 15, this platform expansion comes at a good point in time to help us continue our growth and support all of our journals and editors further. We are excited to continue partnering with ScienceOpen to allow the widest possible dissemination of published content.
