Dear Ecolog readers, Academic publishing continues to evolve. Science Open Reviewed<https://science-open-reviewed.com> is a brand new model - with novel features that no one else is trying - a unique platform for building and serving an online community of science researchers:
- Where authors can arrange to get their papers peer-reviewed openly, quickly and expertly by the best reviewers, without the biases and inefficiencies that plague the traditional blind peer-review system; - Where reviewers can be rewarded with fair compensation, recognition, and reputation metrics; - Where researchers can disseminate their discoveries rapidly, without the gate-keeping elitism fueled by competition between journals for impact factor status; - Where researchers can disseminate their discoveries affordably, without draining research and library budgets to feed the profits of commercial publishers that charge exorbitant prices for authors fees and reader access. - Where journal editors can shop for papers that are already peer-reviewed and ready for publication.
