As part of their Open Science programs, funders and research institutions encourage researchers to publish their findings OA. By establishing this partnership, Karger Publishers is providing further support to help these organizations achieve their Open Science goals.
Andre Janssen, COO at Karger Publishers comments: “We are regularly evaluating ways to ease the path to publication for our authors and improve their experience with Open Access. With ChronosHub, we can support the different Open Access business models in a flexible way and ensure access to all the data and analyses that authors and their institutions need. It also allows us to successfully continue to strive for our “Open for Open” principle.”
