Research Synergy Foundation

Research Synergy Foundation (RSF) is a digital social enterprise that provides a research ecosystem to develop outstanding global scholars. We build collaborative networks among researchers, lecturers, scholars, and practitioners globally for the realization of knowledge acceleration.
The Research Synergy Foundation gateway publishes original research, including review articles, analytical reports and case studies, as well as novel slides, posters and documents. The gateway publishes across all research fields, include Social Science, Economics, Business management, Humanities, Engineering, and Medical Studies.
To be eligible for the submission to the Research Synergy Foundation gateway, articles must first have undergone the RSF’s publication preparation process via their International Conference, Workshops, or coaching services. You can find out more about this process here, or by contacting the RSF.
When an article is submitted to the gateway, the authors will be asked to ensure that their research data is available in a suitable repository and suggest appropriate peer reviewers for their article. The article will then undergo basic editorial checks to ensure it meets our editorial requirements and then be published online. Once published, it will undergo F1000Research’s innovative open peer review process.
