Aims & Scope

Enables researchers to publish any research they wish to share, supporting reproducibility, transparency and impact Uses an open research publishing model: publication within days of submission, followed by open invited peer review Includes citations to all supporting data, enabling reanalyses, replication and reuse All types of research can be published rapidly: traditional narratives, data sets, null results, protocols, case reports, incremental findings and more Enables others to build upon new ideas right away, wherever and whoever they are Reduces the barriers to collaborative research and reduces research waste through data sharing, transparency and attribution The NIHR funds research across a wide range of fields including public health, clinical evaluation, intervention development, health services and social care.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.

Source: OpenAlex · Each year’s green bar = citations earned by that year’s papers, counted to date — so recent years look lower simply because their papers haven’t had time to be cited yet.
