ScienceOpen offers open access journal hosting services, as well as advanced indexing and promotional services that showcase customer content within the discovery platform.
Every research article on ScienceOpen has a traceable genealogy through citations, a public peer review process, and social interaction tracked by altmetrics, which they call research "context". The technology behind the ScienceOpen platform is provided by Ovitas.
ScienceOpen appoints members of the research community as Collection Editors who curate articles from multiple publishers in any topic. Collections support discovery of and within research communities. All content on the platform is available for post-publication peer review by scientific members with five or more peer-reviewed publications on their ORCID, and all articles can be publicly commented on by members with one or more items.
The primary intent of ScienceOpen originally was to provide a platform to provide a peer-review for and publish Open Access science articles. Authors can upload their manuscripts free of charge onto ScienceOpen Preprints, where they immediately receive a DOI number. After this the authors need to invite potential reviewers for their manuscript. After received the reviews, the authors can modify their manuscript and submit the second version, which is usually accepted for publication. After having received at least 2 independent reviews with recommendation for acceptance, the authors have an option to publish their work on ScienceOpen Research for 400 US$. After several years of operation, on 2022-08-01 ScienceOpen lists 115 reviews (with only 2 negative) and 77 publications.
ScienceOpen Posters allows academics to publish conference posters so that they can reach a wider audience than those who were present at their conference.
There are several other web services in the same market niche as ScienceOpen, but they have been even less successful in attracting customers:
Qeios, PREreview.org, Hypothesis, F1000, Publons, PubPeer, PubPub.
