Berlin (Germany) and London (England), 29th October, 2026 – ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and Premier Science, an independent publisher of open access journals, today announced an expansion of their Journal Home partnership to cover Premier Science’s full portfolio of 21 journals. 

Launched in 2024, Premier Science offers science journals for everyone, from students and early career researchers to mid-career scientists, those running established labs, physicians, and managers. Its mission is to accelerate scientific discovery, communication, and innovation, with a focus on publishing with efficiency and quality using advanced tools like the artificial intelligence (AI) enabled eWorkflow  system, which is fully integrated from submission to production.

Building on the existing Journal Home partnership, which covered seven journals, the expanded agreement extends Journal Home to Premier Science's complete portfolio, including both frontlist and backlist content. By delivering research to ResearchGate’s global community of more than 25 million researchers, the Journal Home partnership supports wider discovery of Premier Science content and creates further opportunities to grow readership and attract authors across its multidisciplinary portfolio.  

All 21 Premier Science journals will benefit from:

• Increased authorship, introducing Premier Science journals to researchers beyond their existing audiences and helping develop lasting relationships with potential authors across the disciplines they publish.
• Increased article usage and readership, through delivery of full-text frontlist and backlist content on ResearchGate, helping researchers discover and engage with Premier Science research across its subject areas.
• Improved author experience and loyalty, with automatic uploads of published articles to author profiles and greater visibility into how research is being read, shared, and cited, helping authors showcase their work and remain connected with their published research.
• Enhanced journal visibility and discoverability, through dedicated Journal Profiles, prominent journal branding on publication pages, increasing awareness of Premier Science titles among relevant researchers internationally.

“Journal Home helps our open access research reach readers working across the life sciences, medicine, physical sciences, technology, and social sciences,” said Dr Riaz Agha, Founder and Publishing Director at Premier Science. “By making our journals more visible to international audiences, we support broader readership and help authors connect their work with researchers who can build on it. It also allows more researchers to experience our state-of-the-art, AI-powered eWorkflow manuscript submission and production system.”

“Journal Home helps publishers make research discoverable beyond their established audiences,” said Sarah Mustapha, Senior Business Development Manager at ResearchGate. “With Premier Science’s full journal portfolio available on ResearchGate, researchers can discover useful articles long after publication, supporting ongoing engagement with the publisher’s work and helping the journals build relationships with potential authors.”
