Symbiosis Between Research Collaboration Networks and Publishers in an Open Access Landscape

Considered by some as major disruptors to the publishing ecosystem at their launch, research collaboration networks have been embraced by the scientific community but eschewed by many publishers. As funders' Open Access policies and author preferences have led to an increase in CC-BY licensed content, publishers are forging partnerships with research collaboration networks to gain a better understanding of how syndicated content is being consumed. One such content syndication pilot between ResearchGate and Rockefeller University Press (RUP) entered its first phase in late 2021 when RUP joined publishers Hindawi, Springer Nature, and Wiley making their content available directly on the ResearchGate platform. In this session, viewers are invited to look at content syndication partnerships in depth, gain a better understanding of the technical details, and consider how the scientific community can benefit from content syndication. || Learning Level: Mixed-Learning || Speakers: Rory Williams; Susan King; Luke Barrett; Ijad Madisch; Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe
