Background edit

Gates Open Research serves as a research publishing platform with financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It publishes original research articles on all topics so long as they have been funded by the foundation.[1] In addition, it hosts posters, slides and documents, such as grant reports.[5][6] Open science publishing increases visibility and maximizes the societal impact of the research.[7]

It enables researchers to disseminate a wide array of findings, ranging from conventional research articles, research and innovation ideas, to data, research insights and software tool insights.[8][9]

The platform provides open transparent published peer review from noted academicians, and offers extensive editorial support in-house. Moreover, it facilitates indexation in renowned databases like PubMed and Scopus, enhancing the visibility and accessibility of the research.[10][11]

This initiative was structured to ensure that the research it supports can quickly and effectively benefit society.[13][14]
