Summary:
From the "about" page:
- Two-way open access Publicly-funded science should be openly accessible to scientists and the general public, perpetually, worldwide. Conversely, scientists should not have to pay publishing charges to disseminate the fruits of their research efforts.
- Non-profit Academics do not perform research for profit, and by extension the publication of their scientific results should not involve commercial profit-making.
- By Professionals Scientists should carry the final responsibility for all stages in the scientific publishing process.
- Peer-witnessed refereeing Scientific publications should undergo the strictest possible peer refereeing process, witnessed by the community instead of hidden behind closed doors.
- Accountable and credited refereeing Peer refereeing should be accountable, and should be incentivized by being credited.
- Post-publication evaluation Peer evaluation does not stop at the moment of publication.
