ScienceOpen: research and publishing network

Climate change needs open science

We are in the midst of a global information and knowledge crisis. Access to scientific research has never been more important to provide the basis for debates on critical issues such as climate change, global health, and renewable energies.

At ScienceOpen, we want to play our part here. We have built an automatically updating research collection on climate change for anyone and everyone. It has almost 7,500 research articles, each of which are Open Access. This means they are freely available for anyone to read, re-use, and share without restriction!

The collection already has 80,000 views, demonstrating the power of our collections features, and joins more than 150 others so far on ScienceOpen!

You can sort all articles in the collection by date of publication, average user rating, Altmetric score, citations, and read count. If you want to refine your search further, plug in some key words, and choose to sort by relevance. There are also 17 additional filters in the drop down menu, helping you to really zero in on essential research.

Depending how you sort all this research, you get a great choice of articles:

• Date: Histone H3 lysine 36 methylation affects temperature-induced alternative splicing and flowering plants
• Altmetric score (1804!): Assessing recent warming using instrumentally homogeneous sea surface temperature records
• Rread count: The role of local knowledge and traditional extraction practices in the management of giant earthworms in Brazil
• Citations: Sequencing and de novo analysis of a coral larval transciptome using 454 GSFIx

Last week, we were pleased to announce the launch of our new professional networking platform, MyScienceOpen.

Fully integrated into our article archive of 32 million article records, and combined with our extensive researcher toolkit, MyScienceOpen is the only research networking platform you will ever need!

Now, this is not just another researcher profile. This is the researcher profile. Why have one profile for your research usage, another for you article records, another for your science communication activities, another to record your peer reviews, another for searching for research, and another for tracking citations and Altmetrics? It’s exhausting!

MyScienceOpen brings you all of these features into one platform. We make this even easier by leveraging the power of ORCID to make integration, tracking, and activation of your research one seamless process. All it takes is the click of a button!

Discover a new way to enhance your research

At ScienceOpen, we recognise the difference between discoverable and discovered. With more than 2 million articles published every year, how are you supposed to set yourself apart from the pack?

Thousands of users come to ScienceOpen every day for one main task: To discover research. Your research. We have added new features enabling you to quickly add extra metadata to your articles, including disciplines and keywords. By doing this simple task, you will give your research articles a massive discovery surge in our search engine. and database. This is about giving you the tools you need to maximise your discoverability among the masses! You can track the increase in usage you get by checking out the new ‘Statistics‘ tab on your profile. More on that soon!
