New Science Journal

• by Rick_Nowell

  For an alternative way to get research into print, there is the newly-founded Open Journal. From their website:

  "The Open Journal does things differently, because we are not a publisher in the traditional sense. Instead, we are a peer-review platform, piggybacking on the arXiv for all the “publishing.”

  Rick, there was no funding / grants available to continue developing it. Nothing 'clock and dagger' whatsoever 😃

  There had been a discussion* concerning the status/ future of "Zooniverse Letters" July-Sept 2014, but curiously nobody had done such a statement until 12 Feb 2016, as far as I know! Or did I miss it? I also checked "Zooniverse Talk"!
