Karger Publishers signs five-year deal with Brazil institutions

Karger Publishers extended the partnership with the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), providing access to its journal collection for researchers from 260 Brazilian institutions.

Karger Publishers and Portal de Periódicos CAPES have collaborated for more than 15 years, and the partners says this new arrangement significantly enhances the resources available to researchers throughout the South American country.

Under the new agreement, researchers linked to HEIs participating in the program will have unlimited access to the latest and most relevant scientific information in their specialty areas, with the ability to read, download, and print journal articles. The entire Karger Collection comprises more than 100 internationally journals, covering 40 medical specialties and subspecialties. The content includes original, clinical, translational, and basic research. Karger’s editorial and peer-review process involves Brazilian researchers as editors and reviewers, along with over 50 major international scientific societies affiliated with the titles.

"We at Karger Publishers are honoured to celebrate over 15 years of successful collaboration with Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Throughout this longstanding partnership, we have always prioritized the best interests of the research community in Brazil together. As we take this relationship to a new level, we look forward to jointly redesigning the possibilities, listening to the community, and providing even greater value to Brazilian researchers," comments Gabriella Karger, Chairwoman & Publisher at Karger Publishers.

“The collaboration between CAPES and Karger Publishers is fundamental for expanding research and scientific knowledge in the country. This partnership has directly contributed to the international insertion of Brazilian scientific production. The new contract, with access to Karger’s complete collection of journals, will enable important advances in science.” highlights Andréa Carvalho Vieira, General Coordinator of the Portal de Periódicos e Informação Científica da CAPES.
