Living Communications

Description

The concept of living communications persues a novel culture of scientific communication, addressing the conflict between long-term elaboration and validation of results and concepts, versus sharing quickly important preliminary and controversial contributions. Living communications provide a pathway along the scientific culture of lively debate towards tested and trusted milestones of research, from pre-print to re-print, from initial steps to next steps.

From preprint to publication

  • The preprint is part of a stepwise process:
  1. MitoFit Preprint Archives is the fast lane of Open Access communication without peer review. Authors should indicate if the preprint is considered for Bioenergetics Communications.
  2. A MitoFit preprint posted by the authors as a potential publication in Bioenergetics Communications is immediately delegated to our Associate Editors or Section Editors:
  3. Communication with the authors to plan the non-anonymous Open Peer Review process. Up to three reviewers should be suggested by the authors.

BEC versions

  1. External review should lead quickly to publication in Bioenergetics Communications including the correspondence with the reviewer(s) as an appended discussion and reference to the preprint - without the option for reviewers to insist on additional experiments, but strict focus on the quality of the presently provided information.
  2. Reviewers and editors may encourage follow-up interlaboratory collaborations, with extended information added by the original authors or new collaborators; contributions by reviewers may be integrated and reviewers listed as coauthors and declared as such in the section 'Author contributions' upon mutual agreement between original authors and reviewers;
  3. Folow-up: Manuscripts may be updated and extended - particularly with added information and coauthors from other laboratories.
