BREAKING BOUNDARIES

Cambridge University Press is to expand their provision of open research services with the launch of its own early and open content platform Cambridge Open Engage.

- 

Built in-house, Cambridge Open Engage will use the state-of-the-art technology behind Cambridge Core, the online home for the Press’s books and journals, to publish early and open research outputs including preprint papers, abstracts, conference proceedings, conference posters, grey literature, and open data. The content will be open and free to the reader, as well as free to the author to upload.

The platform will go beyond content dissemination to provide services that support and encourage researcher collaboration and better connect different parts of the research lifecycle. Hosting content from partners such as learned societies, research departments, and funders, as well as directly from researchers, its features and functionality will support an integrated, community-driven service.

Partners will be able to access a range of services, including content hosting, insights into trends and growth areas within research, and analytics across early and open research outputs within their organization.
