eLife New Model at Six Months: An ICOR analysis
infodocketGARY's bookmarks 2023-09-28
Summary:
"The eLife goals:
- Provide meaningful feedback to more authors earlier in the process.
- Decrease the time to citable publication through Reviewed Preprints.
- Reduce the churn of repeated review cycles before the work can be shared.
- Provide authors with ongoing feedback and opportunities to revise and improve their work.
- Enable author control over when a final version of record (VOR) is published.
Executive summary of key findings
- Submissions are steady, and the proportion of papers sent for review is similar in the two models.
- Reviewed Preprints are visible earlier than traditionally peer-reviewed articles, which provides a middle ground between unreviewed preprints and published VORs.
- Author demographics have not changed significantly with regard to discipline or geography.
- Authors, Senior Editors, and Reviewing Editors are reporting largely favorable experiences with the new model, with some concerns about quality and suggestions regarding process being voiced...."
