Commission’s open-access platform hits milestone

Venue for EU grantees publishes 100th article, with social scientists leading the early adopters

The platform set up by the European Commission to provide an alternative publishing venue for recipients of EU R&D funding has hit an early milestone with the publication of its 100th article.

Open Research Europe launched on 24 March, with the Commission saying it would address “major difficulties often associated with publishing scientific results, including delays and barriers to the reuse of results and high costs”.
