The research publishing landscape is undergoing rapid change, disrupting the longstanding dominance of the subscription model and replacing it with open access models. Both funders and publishers are looking to improve transparency of open access, with publishers under increasing pressure to eliminate or shorten embargoes, improve open access options, and to ‘flip’ traditional subscription or hybrid journals to make all research articles freely accessible and re-usable upon publication via a Creative Commons license.
Dr Nandita Quaderi, Editor-in-Chief of the Web of Science said: “This is the latest initiative in a long line of actions Clarivate has taken to support open research. When Dr. Eugene Garfield published the first Journal Citation Reports in 1975, all journals were printed and open access did not exist. How journals are published and accessed has changed, but the purpose of the Journal Citation Reports remains the same: to provide a rich set of data to help the research community better understand a journal’s contribution to the literature and influence on scholarly discourse.
