<blockquote><p>Seeking to enter into collaborative relations with international scientific societies, institutions and foundations, the AAAS seeks to position its Science Partner Journals digital program in the high-quality sector of Open Access publishing, while banking on its reputation, visibility and expertise, in order to increase the accessibility of scientific findings to research organizations around the world. To pull off this initiative that intends to publish its articles under a generic Creative Commons license (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/">CC BY</a>), the AAAS has partnered with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindawi_Publishing_Corporation">Hindawi</a> as a publishing services provider, which indicates that this association did not have sufficient internal resources to go this project alone.</p>
