Thieme Introduces OA Platform
Thieme launched an open access (OA) platform, Thieme Open, as a resource for authors to view Thieme’s OA publishing options. It aggregates Thieme’s OA articles on a single platform that is permanently available online for free.Thieme Open features nine fully OA journals, individual articles published as OA, and a section for authors affiliated with the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. Thieme made a deal with the university to allow authors to publish their work as OA in a selection of Thieme journals throughout 2014. The platform also provides authors with Thieme’s license conditions, archiving practices, author guidelines, and other information about publishing with Thieme. Authors can submit manuscripts directly from the platform. “We created Thieme Open as a one-stop access point to continually updated information regarding Thieme’s wide range of open-access options,” says Regina Wenzel, program planner for journals at Thieme. “Thieme offers open-access publication services that are just as comprehensive as those for traditional journal articles. All items are carefully reviewed and edited—discerning peer reviews are as essential a part of open-access publishing as they are for print journals.” Source: Thieme
