# Journals on ResearchGate

As a platform built around connecting the world of science and making research open to all, we understand the central role that journals play in the scientific ecosystem. Because of the value they provide to researchers, we’ve integrated journals into the ResearchGate network to help you stay connected to the right research, people, and resources.

### **Journal Profiles** <a href="#journalprofiles" id="journalprofiles"></a>

Through a paid subscription, publishers can create **official ResearchGate profiles** for their journals. These **Journal Profiles** are a space where researchers can connect with their community, keep up with the latest research, and learn about becoming an author.

Through the process of partnering with ResearchGate, we authenticate the identity of the publisher. A **Verified Badge** next to a journal’s name helps you easily identify that you’re engaging with the journal’s official profile and getting trusted information from the source.

### **Editor Picks** <a href="#editorpicks" id="editorpicks"></a>

Publishers with a journal profile can pay to feature **Editor Picks** in their journal. An Editor Pick is a post by an editor or other member of the journal’s staff that highlights up to three research items published in the journal for one week.

You’ll be able to discover Editor Picks by visiting a journal’s profile. We’ll also show you Editor Picks from editors and journals that you already follow, and recommend other Editor Picks that you may be interested in based on your network and scientific disciplines on ResearchGate.

If your work is featured in an Editor Pick, we’ll notify you so you can share your achievement with your network.

### **Publisher full-texts** <a href="#publisherfulltexts" id="publisherfulltexts"></a>

Through partnerships with ResearchGate, publishers have made millions of **version of record (VoR) journal articles** available on ResearchGate, making it easier for researchers to access useful research. When publishers add **open-access journal articles** to ResearchGate, the VoR full-text is added to the articles’ publication pages and made available to everyone.

ResearchGate members with an institutional subscription to a journal’s articles can also access **subscription articles** that the publisher adds to ResearchGate. Readers who don’t have access to a journal’s content through an institutional subscription or library access can still view a **publisher preview** — the abstract, figures, and first page of the full-text.

### **Publishing opportunities** <a href="#publishingopportunities" id="publishingopportunities"></a>

Publishers often have **agreements with academic institutions** that make it easier for authors from these institutions and their affiliated institutions to publish open access by **covering open access publishing fees**. To help researchers learn about relevant agreements, publishers that partner with us can pay to promote these publishing opportunities on ResearchGate.

You’ll be able to discover publishing opportunities that match your profile’s primary affiliation, and we’ll suggest opportunities in journals related to your scientific disciplines and activity on ResearchGate. You’ll then be able to check if you’re eligible to have your fees **partly or fully covered**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.researchgate.net/publishers/journals-on-researchgate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
