About Routledge Open Research
The new publishing platform is the first 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. Alongside the platform launch itself, Routledge Open Research is publishing a unique set of data guidelines specifically for Humanities and Social Sciences researchers.
Utilizing F1000’s innovation and technology, this venture will enhance Routledge’s offering by providing a streamlined publishing experience, enabling authors to publish all their research outputs quickly, openly, and transparently. The main aim of this innovative Platform is to further support the Arts, Humanities, Behavioral and Social Science communities’ mission to influence research, policy, and practice to make a real-world impact.
Routledge Open Research offers a fully open and transparent post-publication peer review process. There are many benefits to an open peer review model but the most prominent for the platform is the two-way communication between the author and reviewers. These interactions promote a constructive tone, remove editorial bias, and provide learning opportunities for a new generation of upcoming reviewers.
