Through this collaboration, IGI Global Scientific Publishing’s open access journals – indexed in Scopus – will now be hosted on the ScienceDirect platform and accessible via the AI-driven discovery tools on ScienceDirect. This initiative enhances the visibility and accessibility of IGI Global Scientific Publishing’s Open Access Journal Program, making articles readily available to ScienceDirect’s extensive audience, including libraries and millions of researchers worldwide.
