Open research
Advancing knowledge through transparent and open research practices
Access to verified knowledge matters, and at Taylor & Francis we’re committed to helping librarians provide trusted information to their communities. We also work to overcome barriers to knowledge, publishing research that fosters innovation, counters misinformation, and drives societal progress.
We strive to improve transparency, reproducibility and trust in research by supporting open research practices across our portfolio—these include making research articles, data, code, methodologies, and peer review reports openly accessible.
Open access publishing solutions
We partner with libraries and institutions worldwide to develop solutions that simplify open access publishing across books and journals. This includes Read and Publish Agreements as well as collaborative funding models that we are piloting, such as Pledge to Open, Subscribe to Open, and Collective Pathways to Open.
Open research practices
We are developing innovative programs that advance collaborative research practices. These initiatives, such as the F1000 VeriXiv preprint server, focus on data sharing, methodology transparency, and next-generation publishing formats.
Research integrity, inclusion and equity
Open research supports research integrity, inclusion, and equity by making the research process clearer and more accessible. By reducing risks like data manipulation or misrepresentation, it upholds ethical standards and fosters trust in the research ecosystem.
Additionally, open research makes sure that findings from under-represented geographies and research communities are visible and accessible to a global readership, promoting diversity and inclusivity in knowledge sharing.

Support for researchers
Through AI-assisted checks, desk editor reviews, and tailored training, we help researchers embed good practices like open peer review and ethical AI use. Our tools, services, and global collaborations protect the academic record, allowing researchers to focus on their work while we uphold the highest standards of integrity.
Learn how our Research Integrity Toolkit provides practical guidance throughout the research cycle.
Promoting inclusion and equity
Through initiatives like diamond open access, collaborative funding, and transformative agreements, we create pathways to open access that remove payment barriers for authors, allowing them to publish regardless of their funding background. This approach makes sure that researchers can both publish and access knowledge openly.
