First journal embracing open research
principles to launch as part of Wiley-Projekt DEAL agreement
John Wiley and Sons Inc. (NYSE:JWA) (NYSE:JWB) today announced
the launch of its new premier open access journal, Natural Sciences. The journal, which fully
embraces open research principles, is one of the mutual initiatives
agreed to by Projekt DEAL and Wiley.
“Since the beginning of our partnership with Projekt DEAL, we’ve
continued to find innovative ways to expand open research
publishing practices across the globe,” said Judy Verses, Executive
Vice President of Research at Wiley. “We are pleased to celebrate
another DEAL milestone with the launch of Natural Sciences—a fully
open research, interdisciplinary journal that broadens Wiley’s open
access portfolio of 170 fully open access journals and more than
1,400 hybrid journals.”
Helmed by leading scientists in the fields of biology, chemistry
and physics, the journal publishes top-tier research from the
global community spanning these subjects and their interfaces, as
well as related fields such as engineering and biomedical research.
Its strong focus on interdisciplinarity is reflected by the
publication of highlight articles, which will put the research
articles into context for researchers from adjacent fields.
Dr. Guido F. Herrmann, Vice President and Managing Director,
Wiley-VCH said: “Born from our agreement with Germany’s Projekt
DEAL, Natural Sciences is led by a world-renowned group of Chief
and Executive Editors. Their expertise enables researchers to make
their scientific research more visible and accessible to the global
scientific community.”
Professors Marianne Bronner (California Institute of Technology,
Pasadena), Gerard Meijer (Fritz-Haber-Institut der
Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin) and Vivian W.-W. Yam (The
University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) will serve as Chief Editors of
Natural Sciences. They will be reinforced by Professor Bretislav
Friedrich (Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft,
Berlin) in his function as Executive Editor. Being scientists first
and foremost, they understand the importance of openly sharing and
publishing research that embraces diversity and carries a global
perspective in advancing scientific knowledge.
The global Editorial Board welcomes researchers to submit
original research articles to Natural Sciences from disciplines
encompassing biology, chemistry and physics. Natural Sciences
embraces innovative open research principles, including open and
transparent peer review and decision-making processes, that
accelerate the pace of discovery and make scientific research
results easily accessible to all.
In 2019, Wiley published 35,000 open access articles, and that
number is expected to grow significantly by the end of this year.
The company previously announced its collaboration with project
DeepGreen to distribute research published under the Wiley/Projekt
DEAL to open access repositories in Germany.
