Berlin (Germany) and Abingdon (UK), 5 February, 2026 – ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and Taylor & Francis, a world-renowned academic publisher, today announced a further two-year expansion of their strategic Journal Home partnership. The renewed agreement now covers 800 journals across the Taylor & Francis portfolio. It also includes the Community Engagement Upgrade (CEU), which connects researchers to key content in the journals that serve their community, and the Open Access Agreement Upgrade (OAAU), which makes it easier for authors to discover open access (OA) funding opportunities available to them through Taylor & Francis OA agreements.
The expanded partnership equips Taylor & Francis journal teams with new tools to deepen engagement with relevant researcher communities, support strategic journal development, and accelerate dissemination across the portfolio.
Since 2023, Taylor & Francis’s partnership with ResearchGate has delivered sustained growth in international readership and attracted highly relevant authors from ResearchGate’s global community of 25million+ researcher members. With the addition of the CEU and expanded activation of the OAAU, Journal Home now supports a broader range of journal development priorities, including commissioning, editor-led community building, and clearer communication of funding available to authors.
