Launching a new open access journal or an open

access press? ScienceOpen now provides full
end-to-end open access publishing solutions –
embedded within our smart interactive discovery
environment. A modular approach allows open
access publishers to pick and choose among a
range of services and design the platform that
fits their goals and budget.

You want to create a unique publishing identity?

Book your own sub-domain powered by
ScienceOpen to manage and host existing open
access publications or start new journals.

ScienceOpen can provide technical infrastructure for manuscript submission, peer review management,
open access hosting, article versioning, distribution, analytics and APC management for journals and
(coming soon) books. The ScienceOpen platform has its own powerful citation index and is uniquely
integrated with ORCID, Crossref and Altmetric to immediately plug your publications into the
infrastructure of global scholarly communication.

Publisher branding
Your own publishing platform on ScienceOpen comes with a branded URL and website with lots of
space for customization. See, for example, the recently launched  UCL Open megajournal platform. The
underlying ScienceOpen infrastructure includes user profiles via ORCID, with interactive features such as
share, recommend, comment, and review functionalities, lay summaries and community curation.
Transparent article-, journal- and publisher-level metrics, including views, citations and altmetrics, can
be used to sort search results to help your best content get the most attention, both within your own
sub-domain and beyond in the full ScienceOpen discovery environment.

Open review and versioning
Journals publishing on the ScienceOpen platform can choose between blinded review and an open,
transparent process. An intuitive manuscript submission and peer review dashboard help editors to
track and manage the review process both before and after publication. A full set of notifications –
branded with the publisher’s logo – support editors for faster turn-around times.

Beyond the first round of decision-making, the ScienceOpen platform offers a built-in infrastructure for
open, post-publication peer review that has been used and improved since 2014. Broadly applicable
questions refined with the help of over 100 editors, peer review experts, researchers and publishers
form the basis for an article review. Users comment and review with their full identity and ORCID and a
review requires a certain level of expertise, as measured by 5 peer-reviewed articles attached to the
reviewer’s profile. All review reports receive a citable Crossref DOI. Authors may reply to reviews via the
comment function, creating a transparent discussion platform. Reviews/comments are attached to a
particular version of an article and the full history of a publication is visible. Reporting tools can provide
both a view based on aggregated metrics for multiple versions, as well as individual metrics for each
version.

Publishers can choose between innovative workflows that include posting pre-print content or more
traditional publishing paths that publish the final peer-reviewed version in XML and PDF.

Content in context
Every scholar painstakingly places their argumentation in the context of the research that has come
before. Publishing on ScienceOpen, you can recognize that effort with linked references within our
discovery environment and place your journal in the context of the excellent research cited by your
authors. Your content will be recommended on all relevant content within over 60 million articles on the
ScienceOpen – both at the article and journal level, for increased visibility and dissemination.  

Furthermore, researchers on ScienceOpen are encouraged to create collections of literature around

their research topics to build communities and foster communication. Publishers can benefit from this

scope journals just starting out.
