An Open Science future – Europe leads the way
Hindawi submitted a proposal this May in response to the European Commission’s tender to launch a new publishing platform. The Commission’s aim is to build on their progressive Open Science agenda to provide an optional Open Access publishing platform for the articles of all researchers with Horizon 2020 grants. The platform will also provide incentives for researchers to adopt Open Science practices, such as publishing preprints, sharing data and open peer review. The potential for this initiative to lead a systemic transformation in research practice and scholarly communication in Europe and more widely should not be underestimated. Here we outline our bid to the Commission and our rationale for doing so.

Be discoverable: why publishers are making their reference lists openly available and how you as a researcher can help
A recent announcement from the Initiative for Open Citations calls for all stakeholders – including researchers – to start having conversations with the publishers and learned societies they know about opening up their indexed reference lists. Adding to the already open metadata about articles increases the discoverability of the work of authors (and of publishers) and could ultimately foster a new, more open and more rigorous way to evaluate researchers – a fundamental goal of Open Science.
