Dear all,
I got notice by
a Physics Today news item (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.
Greetings
Joachim Meier
