Shaking up the role of publishers
University of Sussex
In 2021, we launched a process by which Registered Reports submitted on a preprint server could be edited, reviewed, and accepted (or not: “recommended” or not in our terms) in a way free for authors, free for readers, and free for institutions, using Peer Community In (PCI). (PCI is funded by a consortium of Universities and 150 supporting organizations.) As we do not publish the resulting manuscript as such, it can be published in a standard journal (should an author wish). We already have 150 Stage 1 submissions accepted and 50 Stage 2s. We have (so far) 28 “PCI Friendly” journals, i.e., those that guarantee to take any paper we have recommended, bar some minor provisions (journal remit, APCs); PCI Friendly journals include Cortex and Royal Society Open Science. The author can thus choose at the end which journal they would prefer to publish in. We hope this novel approach to scientific publishing expands beyond the Registered Reports format; A PCI PSychology is currently being organized. We have also introduced essential innovations in the Registered Report process to deal with weaknesses; an intellectually superior product is offered than any for-profit journal has yet provided. Our joint task is to steal back the prestige we daily grant the publishing companies that use that prestige to scam us.
