By: Ewa Galina - Versita.com The 21 journals of the Polish Academy of Sciences make for the biggest portfolio of journals so far, contracted by Versita at one time. Currently, the company, which is a leading science publisher in Central and Eastern Europe, offers its services to nearly 200 journals in the region and globally, and expects to increase the number of customer journals to 500 in the near future. The partnership with the Polish Academy of Sciences is a significant step in making this vision possible. The cooperation of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Versita includes publishing of journals across various scientific disciplines, ranging from biology and veterinary sciences, through to psychology, transportation and engineering. While Versita will offer its electronic publishing, distribution and marketing services to contracted journals, the journal editors will be able to focus on the acquisition and editing of manuscripts. Commenting on the partnership, Dawid Cecula, Head of Versita Open says “The journals’ content will be available in the Open Access model, which is a new development in scholarly publishing, giving researchers equal access to the latest research results. As a company dedicated to global dissemination of scientific discovery, we are delighted to be a part of this ambitious venture”.
