Today, we’re happy to announce a collaboration with TU Graz and the Knowledge Futures group on Doc Maps, a project to create machine-readable ways to describe peer review & editorial processes on articles.
As preprints undergo screening checks and pick up peer review from an increasing number of third party sources, it’s becoming more challenging to know to what extent they have been scrutinized (and what that process looks like). The same has always been true of most journal articles, which often clearly do not display their peer review status, much less details of the process.
