eLife Latest: A new vision for transforming research communication | Inside eLife | eLife

"In the 10 years since eLife’s inception, we have made significant progress in improving how research in the life and biomedical sciences is communicated. Here we share our vision for a future where a diverse, global community of scientists produces trusted and open results for the benefit of all. This vision has evolved in response to the changing publishing landscape – namely the increasing popularity of preprints among the life science community, including eLife authors. We are working to achieve our vision in three ways – with the eLife journal, open-source technology development, and our community engagement activities – all of which feed into our overarching ‘publish, review, curate’ mission that puts preprints first. To succeed in realising our vision, we will: Continue to develop the ‘publish, review, curate’ model, and encourage its adoption among authors, funders and content curators such as societies; Build a platform for the ‘publish, review, curate’ model that is open-source, readily adaptable and addresses community needs; Work with the community of scientists and content curators on new ways to improve the whole research communication process in the ‘publish, review, curate’ world; And operate a journal for biology and medicine that maintains the highest standards, carries influence in the community and covers its costs...."
