Research on research

PKP is truly a Research and Development (R&D) initiative. It has a history of investigating vital scholarly communication issues through data science, policy analysis, historical inquiry, economic modeling, activist legal studies, and other methods. This probing and poking works in concert with PKP’s software development, as well as its hosting and other services, to raise the standards for what scholars and the public can expect from research publications and preprints.

Join us in advancing open access and open science

PKP benefits from a wide array of contributors. Here’s a chance to develop, support, and research ways of increasing the public and scholarly qualities of journals, books, and preprints. We have certainly come to appreciate what a wide range of support, skills, talents, and languages that it takes to turn research into a greater public good on a global scale.
