The Open Research Europe (ORE) platform, operated by the European Commission, has been accepted for indexing in the Scopus database, even in its early stages. ORE is an innovative open-access platform with post-publication peer review, dedicated to research and projects funded under the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programs. The platform's goal is to provide researchers with a high-quality and intuitive space for free and transparent publication of their work in line with the European Commission's open science policy. The platform is guided by an international scientific advisory board and was awarded the DOAJ Seal of Approval in 2021 as one of the best practices in open-access publishing. Currently, all the platform's content is indexed in Google Scholar and synchronized with the Zenodo repository to include reviewed papers. It will soon be sent to Inspec as well. Acceptance for indexing in Scopus marks a step towards the even more successful functioning of the Open Research Europe platform.

Open Research Europe (ORE) is a novel publishing platform established by the European Commission with the aim of providing researchers a high-quality and user-friendly space for publishing their work. It's focused on the works created as part of projects funded by the Horizon 2020 (and Horizon Europe) program, enabling authors to publish their work freely and in alignment with the European Commission's open science policy. To be accepted, submissions should originate from Horizon 2020 program projects and be unpublished until submission, regardless of the current research interest.
