This is a proposal for a concept called PiePlate, a digital icon to displays the current state of peer-review facets that have been assessed on a research paper. The “peer-reviewed” stamp often serves as a crude quality filter, offering only the binary option of peer-reviewed and not peer-reviewed. PiePlate would give readers more peer rev…[Read more]

Drawing on the work of…[Read more]

This code of conduct governs the environment of our meetings, workshops, interactions, and communications, and exists to remind us of our values as we interact with others.

Het terechte wantrouwen voor malafide tijdschiften heeft ook gevolgen voor kleine uitgevers en voor de openaccessbeweging.
