July 10, 2025

Thorofare, NJ (USA) and Berlin (Germany) – SLACK Journals, part of the Wyanoke Group and trusted publisher of specialty medical content for more than 60 years, and ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, today announced a new Journal Home partnership that will amplify the global reach and impact of SLACK authors.

A range of SLACK’s hybrid journals, representing nearly 60,000 articles in nursing and ophthalmology, will now benefit from increased accessibility and readership. Benefits to partnering titles include:

  • Increased engagement of authors throughout their research cycle, influencing high quality submissions and publications in the journals.
  • Immediate access to full text articles on ResearchGate, increasing visibility and readership among its 25million+ researcher members through network feeds and notifications.
  • A unique opportunity for SLACK to engage with authors throughout the research and publication cycle, presenting key journal information to engaged readers and potential authors.
  • The Journal Home partnership will also build brand visibility for journal brands through dedicated Journal Profiles and prominent branding across article pages and member touchpoints.
  • Journal Home also fosters deeper connections for authors with ResearchGate members. Individual articles are also automatically added to author profile pages and promoted to their connections, presenting unique opportunities for engagement and collaboration, along with new insights on who is reading and citing their articles.

“We are pleased with the added boost in visibility that Journal Home will provide, and look forward to seeing our authors’ work reach new researcher audiences worldwide the moment it is published,” said Tony Schiavo, Senior Vice President, SLACK Journals. “We have a strong hope that the additional analytics and global reach provided by Journal Home will have a tremendous positive impact on our outreach efforts to potential new authors and subscribers.”

“We’re delighted to welcome SLACK Journals to Journal Home,” said Sören Hofmayer, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate. “This partnership will extend the visibility of SLACK’s high-quality research while strengthening connections between clinicians and researchers worldwide.”
