Discussion: The future of BEC
- Join the discussion and contribute to a coauthored BEC editorial: BEC is the future.
- The lockdown phase was a bad timing for starting BEC, since it separated us by preventing real life meetings from happening. Bioblast 2022 is a re-start: We discuss the future of BEC.
- In advance, write to us and define the text to be posted in this discussion page under your name. Consider this as the initiation of a jointly published BEC editorial.
- Join the discussion and contribute to a coauthored BEC editorial: BEC is the future.
A discussion on publishing
Gnaiger Erich 2022-06-16
- Academic institutions propagate the publication business by imprisoning academic careers into the impact factor lock-up. Do we need a change? How can we change? — Never alone, only by raising awareness collectively. Join DORA.
- ‘Open Access’ at a publication charge of $ 4620? Does the publication charge make a good journal? The paywall business model would collapse, when scientists refuse to do the journalism jobs in the financial interest of paywall journals.
BEC strategies
- Beyond Gold Open Access - how can it be sustained?
- Definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access#Gold_OA
- BEC aims at 'Daimond Open Access' (Marcus F Oliveira) without article processing charge — free for authors and readers.
- This is presently financed by Oroboros Instruments as a service to science.
- This model may be sustained by defining an upper limit of processed manuscripts per year, in line with a strategy beyond counting papers [1]. With increasing numbers of submissions, the editors have to take decisions on accepting manuscripts for peer-review. Pre-publication peer review of MitoFit Preprints may play an increasing role in selecting preprints for BEC peer-review.
- Editors of topical series
- The number of manuscripts per year may be extended, if volunteering editors take responsibility of guiding the publication of topical series.
- Series may be linked to a specific event with a defined timeline.
- Series may be linked to a specific topic with an open-end timeline.
- Beyond Gold Open Access - how can it be sustained?
