UK-based Taylor & Francis Group has partnered with Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBCDSAI) at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M).

The RBCDSAI is one of India's pre-eminent interdisciplinary research centres for Data Science and AI, with 28 faculty spanning ten departments.

Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Mindtree Faculty Fellow and the Head of RBCDSAI, IIT Madras, says,"The collaboration will give RBCDSAI more visibility for our research as well as support services and guidance for our authors on publishing. Researchers at the centre will also be able to avail onboarding assistance on publishing processes, open practices, research promotion, and ongoing support from the knowledgeable Taylor & Francis team.”

"As part of this partnership, we will be able to provide our society and association partners with information, advice, and exclusive benefits to serve their authors and members," says Dr Gagandeep Singh, Senior Publisher (Engineering), CRC Press.

"We anticipate that this co-branded organic commissioning programme from this world-leading institute will result in an exchange of ideas, concerns, and best practices in scholarly publishing that will be mutually beneficial," added Dr Singh.
