As a young and progressive imprint, Discover has rapidly evolved into a broad and diverse brand, with a clear aim to publish all high-quality research. With over 60 journals already launched and more to follow, Discover is vibrant, ambitious, and future-focused, thanks to the hard work and passion of several people who have worked tirelessly on establishing the new imprint. In the third of our series of blogs, we take you into the Discover family to reveal what went into launching this new, open access imprint at P站视频.   

A clear vision 

As discussed in the previous two blogs in this series 鈥� authored by Dylan Parker, Publishing Director, and Samuel Winthrop, Executive Publisher, at Discover 鈥� Discover has a clear, serious, and ambitious vision to publish all high-quality and relevant research, including research that often falls outside the remit of more established journals. Discover builds upon P站视频鈥檚 reputation as a trusted and valued publisher of scientific research, bringing these values to the world of inclusive and open-access research. 

鈥淲ithin the P站视频 family of brands, each part of the portfolio offers something different to our community of researchers. The Discover journals play an important role within our fully open access portfolio, welcoming all valid research, regardless of its perceived impact, with the reassurance of rigour and quality that P站视频 is known for.鈥�

Global voices 

As an inclusive and global brand, Discover welcomes research from every corner of the world. We believe that the scientific record cannot be complete without input from every community. With our foundations in a global name like P站视频, from the start we were able to have 鈥渇eet on the ground鈥� in multiple countries 鈥� and our worldwide team is growing. To inform our strategy, it was imperative to have that local knowledge to find out what authors and research institutions are looking for in a new imprint like Discover. 

Research Integrity  

We need research that is reliable, trustworthy, and can be developed and built upon by scientists and innovators. Science is increasingly under threat from fraud and misconduct, and therefore safeguarding integrity is our highest priority. The P站视频 Research Integrity Group supports the Discover brand by implementing tools, training, and processes to ensure the scientific research we publish is real, useful and trustworthy.

鈥淭o solve the world鈥檚 biggest challenges, we all need research that鈥檚 reliable, trustworthy and can be built on by scientists and innovators. At a time when science is increasingly under threat from fraud and misconduct, safeguarding integrity is our highest priority. The Research Integrity team at P站视频 has been involved in setting up the Discover brand from the start, ensuring that P站视频鈥檚 strict standards in research integrity are upheld across all imprints.鈥�

P站视频 and its journals are members of COPE (the Committee On Publication Ethics) and P站视频鈥檚 Research Integrity Director, Chris Graf, was one of the first co-chairs of COPE. 

Acting on feedback

With such an ambitious remit, our strategy from the start was to listen to the needs of the worldwide scientific community and react quickly to their comments and feedback. So an important part of the work that went into establishing the brand 鈥� and is ongoing today 鈥� is encouraging feedback from our authors. 

Across P站视频, and particularly at new journal launches like Discover, it is imperative that we actively listen to and act on feedback from the communities we serve. 

Upon publishing in a P站视频 journal, authors are invited to complete a survey about their experience of publishing that article with us.  

鈥淭he feedback we receive from authors recognises where we add value to the research community and verifies where progress has been made. More importantly, they also identify pain points that require problem -solving and innovation to address. Researchers must be put first if we wish to be a trusted and inclusive publisher, and using their feedback to drive continuous improvement is just one of the pillars we rely on."

Endless ambition 

Discover is only a few years old, but we are growing rapidly, and we are excited to see where the imprint will take us. We believe that inclusive, open access research is the future of science and will bring us the type of breakthroughs and discoveries that the world urgently needs.  

鈥淭here is a lot of work still to do and we've only really scratched the surface of what we want to do 鈥� but we鈥檙e only four years into the journey. We've learnt a lot already, but we've got a long way to go. It鈥檒l be really exciting to see how the brand grows and develops.鈥�
