About half of biomedical articles are submitted to more than one journal, leading to repeated peer review and publication delays. Review Commons is a free, journal-independent peer review service that allows you to transfer your manuscript and its reviews to one of 17 participating journals for consideration, and to post your refereed preprint to bioRxiv. This experiment in scientific publishing brings a fresh perspective to communicating peer-reviewed research to the scientific community. Over the last few months, 15 Review Commons papers have been published in various journals, including elife and MBoC as well as PLOS, EMBO, and Company of Biologists titles, with many more in the pipeline. During this event, you will learn about how Review Commons works and participate in a lively discussion about this platform. Topics will include:
The need for journal-independent peer review
Inner workings of publishing via Review Commons
Perspectives from authors, reviewers, and editors from affiliated journals
Statistics about the service
Open Q & A with panelists
