Transforming research for an Open Science world
The more we share and learn from each other, the faster we can improve the future.
We understand that open research is the key to accelerating research and innovation to solve global challenges fast. The IET has demonstrated a strong commitment to Open Access – providing researchers around the world with access to high quality content and expanding discoverability of Open Access articles.
The growing Open Access movement has led to fundamental changes in existing publication models, with many organisations re-thinking their strategies and process in order to adapt and thrive in the new Open Access world.
“The IET’s mission as a professional and learned society is to disseminate knowledge and continue to support the evolution of engineering and technology with its positive impact on society. By transitioning the IET’s journal portfolio to open access, the IET hopes to broaden the research reach for our global community, helping authors adhere to funder mandates and inspire the publication of excellent research that will lead to exciting innovations to improve societal outcomes.” – Giles Grant, Executive Director of Knowledge Services & Solutions at the IET
