Networking website launches pilot with Springer Nature to make journal articles published since November 2017 accessible

The full-text of scientific articles published in more than 20 Nature journals since November 2017 will now be freely available through academic networking site ResearchGate. This is thanks to a new pilot programme that aims to make it easier for the website’s users to read and download research on or off campus. The pilot project builds on an agreement reached between ResearchGate and three publishers, including Cambridge University Press and Thieme, back in April 2018 to support the sharing of scientific articles.
