Uses an open research publishing model: publication within days of submission, followed by open invited peer review
-
Includes citations to all supporting data, enabling reanalyses, replication and reuse
Benefits for Researchers
- Enables authors, not editors, to decide what they wish to publish
- Authors suggest peer reviewers and control the process
- All types of research can be published rapidly: traditional narratives, data sets, null results, protocols, case reports, incremental findings and more
Benefits for Research
- Aims to shift the way research and researchers are evaluated
- Moves away from journal-based measures towards direct assessment of individual outputs
- Supports research assessment based on the intrinsic value of the research, not the venue of publication
Benefits for Society
- Reduces the barrier to collaborative research through data sharing, transparency and attribution
- Reduces research waste and helps to remove the bias in our understanding of research
- Enables others to build upon new ideas right away, wherever and whoever they are
