[open-science] RIO Journal to publish Research Ideas & Outcomes

Tue Sep 1 18:04:22 UTC 2015

Dear all,

I'm happy to announce that a new journal is geared towards publishing
all elements of the research cycle, from the first idea to the final
outcomes.

Dubbed RIO Journal - for Research Ideas and Outcomes - it lives on
http://riojournal.com/
and will start accepting submissions in November.

Some of its key features are summarized at
http://rossmounce.co.uk/2015/09/01/im-supporting-rio-journal-i-think-you-should-too/
:
- it will publish research all along the research cycle
- it will map its content to societal challenges
- it will make its peer review fully transparent
- it lets authors choose which services they want from the journal
- it uses a collaborative authoring platform that turns WYSIWYG into
JATS, the XML format required for ingestion into PubMed Central

It will start accepting submissions in November. Suggestions for
subject editors in your areas of expertise are most welcome, as are
any other forms of feedback.
