Open access journals are changing the rules of the game in more ways than just making research freely accessible. Increasingly, funding bodies are starting their own open access publishing outlets to provide low-cost, high quality journal alternatives for the research they fund. The rise of preprints in the last years has also changed the ways in which researchers are communicating their results and funders are stepping up by acknowledging preprints in grant applications.
ScienceOpen, as a freely accessible, interactive research communication platform with open access at its core. We can offer full professional open access publishing services that connect our partners to major infrastructures such as ORCID and Crossref. We have all the components to quickly customize a system with preprints, open peer review, open access publishing, alternative metrics, and citation tracking. The ScienceOpen technology can be customized to help you create the publishing platform of the future.
We can provide customized technology, hosting and publishing solutions for funders. For further information and individual pricing contact Alexander Grossmann or Stephanie Dawson.
ScienceOpen is a freely accessible, interactive research communication platform with the technological infrastructure to support multi-dimensional search and discovery, community curation and researcher networking. We offer space for free researcher-led topical collections within our discovery environment, as well as interactive tools and support for authors to promote their work and track their progress.
Faculties and research groups may be interested in creating a collection or network of collections that represent different aspects of their work, regardless of the publisher or journal. Collections can be flexibly used for educational purposes, such as a reading list for new members, for journal club discussion or as a training ground for open peer review. They can also act as a showcase for faculty output – with dynamic search and sort functionalities. Or they can be used to promote departmental journals, publish conference posters or proceedings, or create new overlay journals combined with preprints.
Beyond our free products for researchers, the ScienceOpen technology can be customized to meet your faculty needs. We offer services ranging from poster publishing, content hosting, repository software, promotion, and open access journal publishing.

Open access journals are changing the rules of the game in more ways than just making research freely accessible. In an “article economy”, article-level metrics have become increasingly important and author services can provide a competitive edge. A challenge for open access journals is to build up their reputation while convincing new authors to submit their best work.

Processing” of personal data means in particular the collection, storage, use and transmission of such data.
Insofar as the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes, legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Insofar as the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Insofar as the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or processing restricted as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply.

Our legitimate interest in processing the data also lies in these purposes.
If the data is stored in log files, this will happen after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, however, the IP addresses of the users are erased or made anonymous, so that an identification of the accessing client is no longer possible.
In these purposes is also our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data.

If the data is required to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures or if there are legal storage obligations, premature erasure of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent erasure. If erasure is not possible, processing may be restricted.
You have the possibility to unsubscribe from notifications via e-mail at any time and thus to revoke your consent, e.g. via the corresponding settings in your customer account or via the corresponding links which you will find at the end of each notification e-mail.
If you revoke your consent, we will no longer use your data to send you notifications. However, we will store your e-mail address and the proof of your consent for a period of three years starting at the end of the year in which we last sent you notifications via e-mail before your revocation, so that we can prove the consent in the event of a dispute. We will subsequently erase the data unless we need it for other purposes stated in this declaration, e.g. because you still have a customer account with us.
