Beijing (China) and Berlin (Germany) April 10, 2025 - Tsinghua University Press (TUP), the leading university press in China, and ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, has announced an expansion of its Journal Home partnership, which was the first of its kind with a Chinese publisher last year. This expansion more than doubles TUP’s coverage, now including 11 open access titles.
Since 1980, TUP has maintained a strong presence in China’s higher education, science, and technology sectors. The expanded partnership will increase the visibility of 10,000+ research articles, spanning nano research, AI, computing, engineering and life science through Journal Home’s advanced visibility features and insights. Benefits include:
- Greater brand visibility, with dedicated journal profile pages that feature key content and journal branding across article pages, to attract and retain authors and drive engagement.
- Streamlined author support, where articles are automatically added to authors' profiles, with valuable insights into readership and citation activity, ensuring authors have the tools to engage with international readers.
- Strengthened engagement with authors, driving continuous interaction and involvement throughout the publishing lifecycle, growing new authors, and improving author retention and loyalty.
- Article content made immediately available to ResearchGate’s active community of 25+ million researchers, providing new opportunities for authors to reach a wider audience.
- In-depth analytics showing the impact of each journal through Journal Home’s unique insights, offering a comprehensive view of readership and author communities.
“Expanding our Journal Home partnership reflects TUP’s dedication to advancing academic excellence and supporting global collaboration through knowledge sharing," said Lei Shi, Director of the Journal Publishing Center at TUP. "Our collaboration has already resulted in the broader reach of our journals, and deeper engagement. We’re delighted to harness ResearchGate’s valuable network to drive innovation for this expanded portfolio and create a lasting impact in the academic community."
“We’re excited to expand our Journal Home partnership with Tsinghua University Press, which will bring even greater visibility and access to their journals,” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “Journal Home has helped TUP to significantly grow its reach and impact both in China and globally, building international communities around their journals. We’re thrilled to see our partnership go from strength to strength.”
