Nature Publishing Group and Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals partner to highlight the best of research from QScience.com
Doha, Qatar, 18 October 2015: Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals and Nature Publishing Group (NPG) announced today that they have signed a strategic commercial partnership to bring QScience.com content to a global audience. Every month articles from QScience .com will be selected by editors at NPG and will feature at http://qscience.nature.com/ alongside an editorial summary.
QScience.com publishes a multi-disciplinary portfolio of open access journals titles. It is an initiative of Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals (BQFJ), founded in 2009 as a collaboration between Qatar Foundation and Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.
NPG editors will handpick four articles each month published on Qscience.com to highlight. A summary of the article links out to the full text open access article on Qscience.com. Nature.com has over 8 million unique visitors per month, bringing research on QScience.com to a global audience.
"We're pleased to support Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals in this way," said Steven Inchcoombe, CEO, Nature Publishing Group and Palgrave Macmillan. "At NPG we are committed to encouraging the growth of emerging science from the Arab world, and believe Open access and Open Research are central to the future of research communication. Bringing quality content from Qscience.com to the global nature.com audience is consistent with both of these goals."
Arend Küster, Managing Director of QScience said: "Our collaboration with Nature Publishing Group will enable us to provide an exceptional service to Qscience authors, by increasing the visibility of their research. We are delighted to offer our authors this unique opportunity and showcase excellent research from Qscience.com on Nature.com. This NPG partnership is a major milestone for our burgeoning journals platform, which will be 5 years old in December. This unique partnership will help increase the visibility of research in Qatar, the GCC region and beyond, and will further bolster Qatar Foundation's research ambitions."
