UPM leads way as first university to integrate Loop

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) researchers in the UPM observatory (Observatorio de I+D+I UPM) are now able to link their universal Loop profile to the profile on their institutional website. Created by Frontiers, one of the leading open access publishers, Loop launched in January 2015 and is the first Open Research Network that integrates into the website of any publisher or research institution. It is already working seamlessly with two publishing platforms, Nature Publishing Group and Frontiers, with UPM being the first university to incorporate it into their website. “UPM is the largest and one of the most prestigious technical universities in Spain.  We worked closely with their team to integrate the Loop platform on their website to help them reach their goals of boosting the visibility and impact of their researchers and faculty members.  UPM is the first university to come on board, and we look forward to rolling out further Loop integrations with others in the coming months,” said Kamila Markram, CEO of Frontiers. Loop is designed to work collaboratively with academic platforms and bridge the gaps between researchers, their institutions and their published work. It integrates easily into the workflows of publishers with automated, direct links to […]

Early career insights – an introduction

Have you ever tried to imagine the initial years in science of our Science Heroes? Perhaps you’ve pictured them as young scientists full of enthusiasm with an endless curiosity driving them in the attempt to understand the world. But in reality, how are those early years of a research career? How is the impulse to pursue the key to open questions developed, maybe threatened sometimes, through them? Looking back, were they really decisive moments? In this section, we provide some insight into those first steps in science by sharing the experiences of real young researchers around the world.  The posts will give you the opportunity to learn about their journey with their own eyes and words as they go through those moments of uncertainty when questions arise — and perhaps an answer to those questions starts to take shape. Stay tuned for the first of our interviews to come!
