One year of Routledge Open Research
A dedicated open research platform for Humanities and Social Sciences scholars and researchers
April 2023 marks the one-year anniversary of Routledge Open Research. This is the first open research publishing platform to offer authors across the Arts, Humanities, Behavioral and Social Sciences a dedicated, interdisciplinary venue to disseminate a wide range of outputs, fully open access.
Utilizing F1000’s innovative technology, Routledge introduced a streamlined publishing experience – alongside a unique set of data guidelines specifically for HSS scholars. This enabled authors to publish all their research outputs quickly and openly.
Routledge Open Research is governed by an independent Editorial Advisory Board of researchers who each have brought and continue to bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to support the platform’s strategy and direction.
“The first year of Routledge Open Research has offered valuable opportunities to initiate conversations about open peer review and to experiment with the model across diverse contexts and topics of educational research.”
Professor Alis Oancea, Chief Editorial Advisor, Education at Routledge Open Research
In the past 12 months, Routledge Open Research has launched:
Recruited 21 new Advisory Board Members
Welcomed submissions across 7 different types of research outputs. This includes Essays, Policy Briefs, Brief Reports, Reviews, Research Articles and Case Studies which have resulted in hundreds of views and downloads.
