The Gates Foundation is pleased to announce Gates Open Research, launching fall 2017. You may have read about this new open research platform in an article and editorial in the March 25 issue of the Economist.
The foundation is providing this open research platform because they want to get your research out into the world as rapidly as possible. The free, immediate, and unrestricted access to your research will help create a world where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life.
Gates Open Research complies with the foundation’s Open Access Policy and enables researchers to take control of the publishing process without barriers: immediate Open Access publication of articles and all associated source data, followed by transparent, invited peer review. Full transparency will enable reanalysis, replication attempts and data reuse, and therefore increase research integrity and accountability.
