Chris summarises what we’re up to quite nicely. Check it out. Crossposted here […]

Comment on PeerJ Launched Preprint Server by Ed Baskerville https://openpub.nceas.ucsb.edu/2013/04/03/peerj-launched-preprint-server/#comment-400 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:56:13 +0000 http://openpub.nceas.ucsb.edu/?p=928#comment-400 Looks like some preprints are up! 6 of them so far…

No comments/metareview/etc. in the system yet. Which is of course the safe thing to do if you’re trying to establish a new model for journal publishing.

No in-browser viewing either, which is a bit silly.

However, I would not be surprised if PeerJ evolved to include those kinds of capabilities—that could help them become established as a new hub for life sciences research that combines what you get at PLoS with what you get at arXiv with new modes as well…

Comment on Give us your thoughts on Scholarly Publishing in EEB! by jebyrnes https://openpub.nceas.ucsb.edu/2013/02/25/give-us-your-thoughts-on-scholarly-publishing-in-eeb/#comment-259 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:15:35 +0000 http://openpub.nceas.ucsb.edu/?p=902#comment-259 In reply to Florian Hartig.

For a bit more detail, see this post or our meeting notes about OpenPub. And sign up for the mailing list!

But, most importantly, would you be game to record a video of yourself answering those questions? And/or get some colleagues to do the same?

Fair enough, thanks … If you find the time, I would find it interesting to get more information like that about the state of your discussion, also in relation to other initiatives such as POS. Maybe in a separate post?

It would also interest me what you learned from the overlay journals. I know that a few pulled out of the arXiv because it was not viable financially, but I suppose that this doesn’t really apply here because you would have to secure funding anyways.

However, as I said, probably those are more topics for a separate post than for the comment section here.

We approached arXiv to see if they’d be interested in hosting, but they don’t have the time, funding, or support infrastructure to fold in a discipline that doesn’t have a large preprint culture at the moment. If this is a success, though, then maybe. There are a some arXiv overlay journals, some of which are even similar in spirit to what we’re doing here. But none have worked yet. We’ve been trying to learn from where things have gone wrong there.

The arXiv allows revisions coded as arXiv_identifier.v1, so it can’t be too difficult to add some comments / reviews e.g. as arXiv_identifier.c1, and link this on the website.

It might not be the perfect thing and give you all the web 2.0 options you want, but the arXiv is well established and has long-term funding as well as a very simple text(or LaTeX)-based submission system that guarantees persistence of our work over decades, which is for me more important than fancy comment functions.
