Tsinghua University Press and ResearchGate announce first Journal Home partnership from China

Agreement covers five open access journals

2024-08-08

(Press-News.org) Beijing (China) and Berlin (Germany) August 8, 2024 – Tsinghua University Press (TUP), the leading university press in China, and ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, are delighted to announce a new Journal Home partnership that aims to increase the readership and visibility of TUP’s open access research. The agreement is the first of its kind with a Chinese publisher.

The agreement covers five fully open-access journals published by TUP through their platform, SciOpen, including research published in Artificial Intelligence, Energy, Materials, and Construction. In total, more than 2,000 articles will now be widely accessible to ResearchGate’s community of over 25 million researcher members, boosting the global readership of this content, and growing the visibility of the journals with potential readers and authors.

Journal Home enhances the visibility of participating journals through dedicated journal profiles, which are activated and accessible throughout the ResearchGate platform including from all associated article pages. These provide valuable information for members including the journal’s aims and scope, metrics, and Editors, as well as content from the journals.

Authors publishing in these journals will also benefit from having their articles automatically added to their user profiles on ResearchGate, providing them with valuable insights showing the impact of their work, and a new way to engage with international readers.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with China’s leading university press, delivering global reach and visibility for these journals,” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “ResearchGate has now established almost 40 Journal Home partnerships, in every case finding that journals can boost readership and authorship through the enhanced visibility Journal Home brings. For TUP, there is a clear opportunity for their journals to attract new international readers and authors. I’m looking forward to seeing the results from the collaboration.”

“TUP fosters the goals of Tsignhua University, facilitating global academic innovation through knowledge sharing. Reaching a wider international network through ResearchGate’s Journal Home is therefore a reflection of our mission,” said Lei Shi, the Director of Journal Publishing Center at TUP. “We’re looking forward to building engagement with our journals, and benefiting from ResearchGate’s unique network insights going forward.”

Promoting healthy teen romantic relationships to reduce risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections

2024-08-08

INDIANAPOLIS -- Romantic relationships play an important part in adolescent development. Most young people have had at least one romantic relationship by middle adolescence (ages 14 to17). However, successful promotion of healthy sexual behavior to reduce risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections in this teen population has proven difficult. Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University Research Scientist Arthur Owora, PhD, MPH, a quantitative epidemiologist and applied biostatistician, is the first author of a new multi-site ...

Recurrent wheezing in children linked to 'silent' viral infections

2024-08-08

Nearly a quarter of children with recurrent wheezing have “silent” lung infections that would be better treated with antiviral medications than commonly prescribed steroids that can carry lifelong side effects, new research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine reveals. Pediatric pulmonologist W. Gerald Teague, MD, was inspired to investigate after noting large numbers of children with stubborn wheezing cases referred from community providers and through the UVA Health Emergency Department. Knowing that rhinoviruses – the main cause of the common cold – can trigger wheezing episodes, Teague wanted to see if there ...

South Africa’s controversial lion farming industry is fueling the illegal international trade in big cat bones

2024-08-08

A new research paper published in the scientific journal Nature Conservation has uncovered concerning activities within South Africa's captive lion industry, shedding light on the urgent need for comprehensive governmental action. The study by World Animal Protection, conducted through direct interviews with workers at two closed-access lion facilities in South Africa’s North West Province, reveals disturbing practices. These include: The use of legal activities such as commercial captive lion breeding and canned hunting to mask involvement in the illegal international trade of lion and tiger bones. Animal welfare violations including ...

Children can inherit early aging symptoms from parents who abuse alcohol, researchers find

2024-08-08

Researchers at the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have discovered that parents who struggle with alcohol use disorders can pass along symptoms of early aging to their children, affecting them well into adulthood. These accelerated aging effects — including high cholesterol, heart problems, arthritis, and early onset dementia — can be passed down from either mom or dad individually, but they become worse when both parents have an issue with alcohol abuse, especially in male offspring. “Scientists have wondered what causes children who grow up in homes where there is alcohol ...

Distinct pattern in protein production can predict severe side effects from skin cancer treatment

2024-08-08

An activity pattern in certain genes responsible for building proteins known as spleen tyrosine kinases can predict which melanoma patients are likely to have severe side effects from immunotherapy designed to treat the most deadly skin cancer, a new study shows. Led by researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center, the latest experiments focused on checkpoint inhibitors, drugs that have in the last decade become a mainstay of treating melanoma. This form of skin cancer kills nearly 10,000 Americans annually. The drugs work by blocking molecules ...

Lens-free fluorescence instrument detects deadly microorganisms in drinking water

2024-08-08

WASHINGTON — Researchers have shown that a fluorescence detection system that doesn’t contain any lenses can provide highly sensitive detection of deadly microorganisms in drinking water. With further development, the new approach could provide a low-cost and easy-to-use way to monitor water quality in resource-limited settings such as developing countries or areas affected by disasters. It could also be useful when water safety results are needed quickly, such as for swimming events, a concern highlighted during the Paris Olympics. “In developing countries, unsafe water sources ...

Individualized cancer therapy demonstrates safety and sustained immune responses

2024-08-08

For decades, researchers have worked to develop therapies that can prime the immune system to recognize and attack proteins on the surface of tumor cells. However, success has been limited due to the technological challenge of engineering therapies that provide specific enough “training” to the immune system to identify a given patient’s neoantigens. Now, investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, have evaluated an ...

Eating disorder risks elevated among women with PCOS

2024-08-08

WASHINGTON—Women with the common reproductive and metabolic condition polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) face a greater risk of developing bulimia, binge eating disorder and disordered eating, according to new research published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. PCOS affects roughly one in eight women. Women who have the condition face an increased risk of developing metabolic problems such as diabetes, reproductive issues such as infertility, and psychological issues including anxiety and depression. Women are diagnosed when they have at least two of the three ...

Alcohol use in older adults doubles risk of brain bleeds from falls

2024-08-08

Nationally, falls remain the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries in older adults and are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury. In 2021, falls led to the deaths of 36,500 older adults in the United States and 3,805 older Floridians. While some studies have hypothesized that alcohol use contributed to these outcomes, there are few studies which have examined this issue. As such, little is known about the association between the frequency of alcohol use and the severity of injuries sustained after a fall in older adults. A study by Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and collaborators, is one of the first to examine the relationship ...
