From: <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2019 13:12:32 +0200 Dear all, I got notice by a Physics Today news item (https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.2.20190618a/full/ <https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.2.20190618a/full/>) about https://transpose-publishing.github.io/#/about "Transpose is an initiative to build a database of journal policies. We’re focusing on three areas: open peer review, co-reviewing, and detailed preprinting policies. We welcome contributions from anyone, but seek verification from journals and publishers. Our goal is to foster new practices while increasing awareness among authors, editors, and other stakeholders, and we seek to provide resources to assist journals in setting, sharing, and clarifying their policies." Hopefully this project will grow and thrive. Authors will welcome more transparency of pre-publishing processes.
