It is the first university megajournal providing an open access and transparent end to end publishing model, enabling research to be accessible to everyone.

It is being piloted with 新香港六合彩开奖结果Open: Environment which focuses on environment-related research and will include contributions from life and earth sciences, as well as medical, physical, population, engineering, and social sciences. The model is expected to be developed and rolled out across a broad range of multidisciplinary research subjects.

Dr Paul Ayris, CEO of 新香港六合彩开奖结果Press and Pro-Vice-Provost (新香港六合彩开奖结果Library Services), said: 鈥溞孪愀哿喜士苯峁鸼elieves that the future of academic and scholarly pursuit is best served by an open science agenda and fully open access publishing because knowledge should be accessible to all, regardless of location or financial means.

鈥淏y establishing 新香港六合彩开奖结果Press and bringing the publication and dissemination of knowledge back into the academy, 新香港六合彩开奖结果will stimulate disruptive thinking and challenge prevailing scholarly publishing models across and beyond the university itself. We want to transform the way new knowledge is shared openly and without barriers.鈥

新香港六合彩开奖结果first announced that it would be launching a new open access megajournal in January 2018, signalling its continued commitment through 新香港六合彩开奖结果Press to providing academics and students with ground-breaking research free of charge in a move that challenges traditional commercial publishing models.

Powered by the discovery and publication platform, the megajournal aims to showcase radical and critical thinking applied to real world problems that benefit humanity.

The megajournal will champion the open science/scholarship agenda by openly and transparently reviewing and publishing articles that generate new knowledge, ideas and new ways of thinking.

Articles will be judged on the merit and scientific validity (sound science/scholarship) of the work. The journal is inviting submissions from any grade of researcher at and beyond UCL, at all career stages, including early career researchers, professionals, and mid to late career scholars. Editors are welcoming research from all parts of the globe that particularly focus on inter- and multi-disciplinary research.

Professor David Price, 新香港六合彩开奖结果Vice-Provost (Research), said: 鈥溞孪愀哿喜士苯峁鹲eeks to transform how knowledge is shared and applied to humanity鈥檚 problems. Only by sharing academic research as openly and widely as possible 鈥 with, for example, researchers, educators, students, policymakers, partners and members of the public 鈥 can its benefits to humanity be maximised. The traditional scholarly publication system is not fit for, nor does it intend to serve, this purpose.听

鈥溞孪愀哿喜士苯峁鸒pen is a further innovative step towards delivering our ambitions, building on 新香港六合彩开奖结果Press鈥檚 leading accomplishments in open access. Operating dually as an e-journal with a linked preprint server, accepted papers will first appear as open access preprints, then undergo Open Peer Review before the final article is published in the e-journal. In this way,听the entire publishing process will be accessible, transparent, accountable, and faster.鈥

Stephanie Dawson, CEO of ScienceOpen, said: 鈥淲orking with 新香港六合彩开奖结果Press to further develop the concept of the 鈥榤egajournal鈥 within the context of an interactive discovery environment has been enriching for all. Drawing on the ScienceOpen infrastructure for preprints, open peer review and community curation, 新香港六合彩开奖结果Press is creating new ways to for scholars to interact with research results and rethinking the current publishing paradigm.鈥

Preprints are defined as scholarly articles that precede publication in a peer-reviewed journal. They speed the delivery and accessibility of academic research work and lead to faster reuse and collaboration by the research community.
