Berlin (Germany) and Philadelphia, PA (USA), October 2, 2025 – ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the first and largest professional organization dedicated to advancing cancer research, today announced that ResearchGate’s Journal Home programme will now feature AACR’s full journal portfolio.

This collaboration supports AACR’s mission to prevent and cure cancer by enhancing the visibility and accessibility of cutting-edge cancer research. Through Journal Home, AACR journals will reach ResearchGate’s global community of over 25 million researchers, fostering broader dissemination of new discoveries and encouraging scientific collaboration.   

AACR publishes 10 high-impact scientific journals, including the top-ranking journal Cancer Discovery, covering the full spectrum of cancer research – from basic and translational science to clinical and epidemiological studies.  This new collaboration will provide: 

• Increased visibility for the latest research published in AACR journals among highly relevant cancer researchers on ResearchGate, driving article usage and engagement.
• Broader reach for AACR journals through dedicated Journal Profiles and prominent branding across ResearchGate’s platform.
• Enhanced author services, including automatic article uploads to author profiles, readership and citation metrics, and opportunities for direct interaction with readers and collaborators.
• Support for authors throughout the research lifecycle, encouraging high-quality submissions and expanding AACR’s global author base.  

“Collaborating with ResearchGate through Journal Home helps AACR journals reach a wider audience of cancer researchers and support our goal of accelerating the dissemination of impactful research,” said Christine Battle, Publisher and Vice President of Scientific Publications, AACR. “By connecting our publications with ResearchGate’s engaged community, we hope to strengthen opportunities for collaboration and scientific advancement.”
