Knowledge Exchange begins exploring how alternative platforms can help shape the future of scholarly publishing - News - Knowledge Exchange

This work defines "alternative publishing platforms" as innovative channels for scholarly communication that operate outside traditional book and journal publishing frameworks. These platforms may distinguish themselves in various ways: some embrace a broader disciplinary scope or accommodate more diverse publication types than conventional outlets, while others might publish submitted versions and preprints by default. Some feature open peer review processes or seek to reform mainstream peer review approaches, and most emphasise free access to content, transparency and research efficiency.
