Routledge and The University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Education Form New Publishing Partnership

Routledge and The University of Hong Kong’s Comparative Education Research Centre (CERC) have announced a new partnership for two established book series. The leading education publisher will now co-publish both the CERC Studies in Comparative Education and CERC Monograph series, supporting the global reach and impact of research in comparative education.

Established in 1997, CERC Studies in Comparative Education is today internationally recognized for its quality and breadth of topics, publishing titles by leading scholars from Asia and beyond. CERC Monographs is a series of concise books exploring educational trends and debates, helping to inform educational policy and practice.

Routledge will support further development of both series by working with the CERC Series Editors to attract the most innovative and impactful content in comparative education, as well as highlighting them as publishing venues for authors in the publisher’s world-class education list. Routledge and CERC have announced that the first book to be published under the new partnership will be by Professor Michael Crossley, Emeritus Professor of Comparative and International Education at the University of Bristol, UK.

Mark Bray, UNESCO Chair in Comparative Education at The University of Hong Kong, said: “As the founder of the CERC Studies in Comparative Education, I am delighted that this new chapter for the series commences with Routledge as the co-publisher. Routledge has an excellent reputation, and the CERC team looks forward to the collaboration.”

Katie Peace, Senior Publisher for Routledge Asia Pacific, added: “We are excited to establish this new co-publishing partnership with CERC. The two series are already well established and a great fit with Routledge’s world class education research list. We look forward to future publications making a significant contribution to the field of comparative education.”

Nutsa Kobakhidze, CERC Director, said: “At CERC, we are delighted to begin a partnership with Routledge as it marks a significant step towards advancing the field of Comparative Education. As we look forward to the publications that will emerge from this partnership, the series will contribute significantly to the academic discourse, offering new ideas that push existing intellectual boundaries.”

Yang Rui, Dean of the Faculty of Education at The University of Hong Kong, said: “The partnership between Routledge and CERC highlights a shared commitment to promoting academic excellence and facilitating the dissemination of impactful research internationally. The CERC-Routledge book series promise to be valuable resources, providing platforms for cutting-edge research that can benefit students, scholars, school leaders and policymakers. Publications from these series will be a catalyst for thought leadership in Asia and globally.”

Routledge, part of Taylor & Francis, is the world’s leading academic publisher in the Humanities and Social Sciences, partnering with many of the most influential societies and academic bodies to publish their journals and book series.

MIT Press Releases Direct to Open Impact Report

Data show that open access monographs receive significantly more use and citations than their non-open counterparts and are more successful at reaching audiences beyond the academy

The MIT Press announces the release of a report on its Direct to Open (D2O)program detailing the impact that it has had in its first three years. Launched in 2021, D2O is a sustainable framework for open access monographs that shifts publishing from a solely market-based, purchase model where individuals and libraries buy single eBooks, to a collaborative, library-supported open access model. 

“Direct to Open is a game changer,” said Amy Brand, director and publisher at the MIT Press. “We’ve been shaking things up at the MIT Press for over 60 years, changing how knowledge flows between academics and the world. D2O has exceeded expectations in its first three years, and we’re thrilled to share the impact.”

To date, D2O has funded 240 books: 159 in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), and 81 in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Design, and Mathematics (STEAM). The data show that, on average, open access HSS books in the program are used 3.75 times more and receive 21% more citations than their paywalled counterparts. Open access books in STEAM fields are used 2.67 times more and receive 15% more citations than their non-open counterparts, on average. Regardless of their field, D2O books are making meaningful contributions to debates both within and beyond the academy.

“In my course, I used the software platform Perusall to let students comment and ask questions on our D2O book Model Systems in Biology in an online group setting,” said Georg Striedter, professor in the department of neurobiology and behavior at the University of California, Irvine.  “This interactive approach made the readings more engaging for the students and allowed me to monitor their comprehension and interests effectively. This approach isn’t possible with high-cost textbooks that my students can’t easily afford. Thus, the D2O option has notably improved the book’s accessibility, benefiting both my teaching and the students’ learning experience. Thank you, MIT Press.” 

“For the Indian market, MIT Press books are prohibitively expensive,” said Janaki Srinivasan, associate professor at the International Institute of Information Technology in Bangalore, India and author of The Political Lives of Information: Information and the Production of Development in India. “Book stores are reluctant to stock them and they are also expensive for individual buyers. People are very interested in the book in India, where the book is based, so it’s been a blessing to have the open access edition. Several people I met during my talks and at other events in India said they were able to access the book because it was open access.”

“Open access is very important in my field of anthropology,” said Elizabeth Carpenter-Song, research associate professor in the department of anthropology at Dartmouth College and author of Families on the Edge: Experiences of Homelessness and Care in Rural New England. “Our work often speaks to issues that are relevant to non-specialists and open access helps to build bridges to other fields and audiences. The D2O version of my book has enabled me to reach colleagues in anthropology, as well as clinical and social services and community stakeholders who have used the book to inform their understanding of regional housing issues. I firmly believe that the open access option has allowed the book to be much more broadly disseminated and used.”

At a time when average print runs for academic monographs are often in the low hundreds, books in the D2O program are reaching larger audiences online than ever before—averaging 3,061 downloads per title and bringing important scholarship to international audiences.

“D2O is meeting the needs of academics, readers, and libraries alike, and our usage and citation stats demonstrate that readers around the world are embracing open access scholarship across a wide range of fields and for many purposes—from the classroom to research projects to professional interest reading,” said Amy Harris, senior manager, library relations and sales at the MIT Press. “This further aligns the work of the MIT Press with the mission of MIT to advance knowledge in science, technology, the arts, and other areas of scholarship to best serve the nation and the world, and provides opportunities for expansion of the model in the forthcoming years.”

The MIT Press is now accepting commitments for Direct to Open in 2025 and invites libraries and library consortia to participate. For details, please visit mitpress.mit.edu/D2O or contact the MIT Press library relations team at mitp-library-relations@mit.edu.

Seegene and Springer Nature Announce Strategic Alliance

Seegene Inc. (KQ096530), a leading South Korean company providing a total solution for PCR molecular diagnostics, announced on May 16th the signing of a strategic alliance agreement with Springer Nature, the publisher of the prestigious scientific journal, Nature.

Sharing common values in Springer Nature’s aim to advance discovery and Seegene working towards realizing a world free of diseases provides the basis for a natural alliance.

The new alliance will see the two companies use their joint expertise and knowledge to support researchers across the global scientific community to speed up PCR diagnostic testing of important but various disease areas.  

PCR molecular diagnostics companies develop only a few diagnostic products annually. By leveraging the Springer Nature network, the two companies will provide funding and technology to global scientists and experts in various fields, significantly broadening the range and potential of diagnostic products.

This initiative, spearheaded by senior management at both companies, builds upon the success of the Open Innovation Program that was launched by the two companies in 2023 whose goal was to develop innovative diagnostic products with participation of the scientific community.

Both companies will expand their collaboration using the OneSystemTM business by identifying and promoting potential partners as well as co-hosting annual symposiums starting with a joint declaration this year. 

“We are thrilled to deepen our strategic relationship with Springer Nature, an authoritative leader in the global scientific community,” said Dr. Jong-Yoon Chun, CEO and Founder of Seegene. “Together, we will work to advance the success of the SG OneSystemTM business and to realize ‘a world free of diseases’.”

“Springer Nature applauds Seegene’s effort to democratize early diagnosis of multiple diseases to enable timely treatment,”said Frank Vrancken Peeters, CEO of Springer Nature. “This noble goal can only be achieved through collaborations. As a trusted partner to the research community, Springer Nature will help to build a global network of experts who, using Seegene’s technology, can accelerate the development of new tests for a wide range of conditions.”

Seegene and Springer Nature received significant interest from the global scientific community for the inaugural Open Innovation Program launched in 2023. The program, comprising 15 projects, received a total of 281 applications from 47 countries, resulting in a competitive ratio of 11 to 1 for the selection of 26 applicants. Recognizing the potential of technology-sharing, the two companies aim to expedite the commercialization of expertise and knowledge across various fields. This year marks the second iteration of the program, which will depart from the 2023 model of predefined product development. Instead, the 2024 program will adopt a more open format, allowing applicants to propose for any product development.

“We have high expectations for the Open Innovation Program to contribute to the democratization of PCR molecular diagnostics,” said Marc Spenlé, COO of Springer Nature. “Together with Seegene, we will create an ecosystem that encourages and accelerates the development of new tests to address currently unmet needs.”
