🗣️Introducing Open Access Agreement Upgrade for Journal Home! We are delighted to announce a significant enhancement to our ResearchGate Journal Home product for publishers, with the introduction of the #OpenAccessAgreement Upgrade (OAAU). This new feature enables publisher partners to identify and effectively communicate with relevant researchers about funding for publishing that they are eligible for through Open Access Agreements (also referred to as Transformative Agreements, Transitional Agreements or Read & Publish Agreements) – driving greater awareness and uptake of #openaccess publishing. We hear from so many of our publisher partners how difficult it is to communicate with individual researchers about Open Access Agreements. We recently conducted a survey of over 2,000 researchers which found that: 🤝Nearly half (48%) are not at all familiar with such agreements.  🔓Those who do know about these agreements struggle to understand if they are eligible, or how to access funding. OAAU for Journal Home is already showing some impressive results and is proving to be a powerful solution to reach eligible researchers more effectively and at scale. Within the first 6 months, partners with the OAAU activated are reporting more than 90% reach with eligible institutions! 📈 A range of publishers have already activated this new upgrade, including Wiley, Taylor & Francis Group, IOP Publishing, De Gruyter Brill, Sage, The BMJ, The Royal Society, Optica , Canadian Science Publishing, Rockefeller University Press, Scientific.NET and Royal Society of Chemistry.
