IGI Global, international academic publisher, has recently integrated with CORE, the world's largest aggregator of open access research papers from existing repositories and journals. IGI Global welcomes the opportunity to add their nearly 4,000 highly cited and readily discoverable open access papers to CORE's millions of papers from other credible data providers around the world to increase the discoverability of open access research.

Melissa Wagner, Vice President of Editorial for IGI Global, mentions, "Integrating with CORE offers huge strides in our push for equality and accessibility of innovative research for all, which has been at the forefront of our company's values since our inception 35 years ago. We are pleased that through this partnership our open access authors will not only see increases in the usage of their research, but are also finding that their voices are being heard worldwide."

IGI Global's integration with CORE means that researchers' open access work will now be accessible through this highly-regarded platform, adding to the numerous others that IGI Global has already been feeding its open access research content to, including: IGI Global's website (www.igi-global.com), IGI Global's proprietary InfoSci Platform (www.igi-global.com/gateway), the Association of Global Open Science and Research (AGOSR) Open Access Repository, ResearchGate, and more.
