[With apologies for cross-posting] Hi All,
eLife, in collaboration with the Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (Coko), has announced today the first release of Libero Reviewer – an open-source application that will support our unique editorial process from submission to acceptance. This first release takes the form of a wizard that guides an author through submitting their work for initial assessment, integrates with the journal’s existing peer-review software, and provides an intuitive and efficient user experience for scientists. Each component is designed and coded with reusability in mind, meaning that everything eLife creates can theoretically be taken by any other organisation, either “out of the box” or adapted to meet their individual requirements. For further details, please see the full announcement at https://elifesciences.org/for-the-press/185e0679/elife-announces-first-release-of-open-source-submission-and-peer-review-platform-libero-reviewer . This launch follows our news last week about leading open-access advocate Michael Eisen becoming eLife's new Editor-in-Chief. As part of his role, Eisen will be working with our Product, Innovation and Technology teams to help build Libero Reviewer and other open-source tools that improve how new research is captured and communicated. He said: “Having the community take control of the tools that are used to publish and manage our literature is central to our mission. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the infrastructure needed to openly disseminate, review and curate the research literature.” You can read more about his appointment at https://elifesciences.org/for-the-press/5cc21558/elife-welcomes-michael-eisen-as-editor-in-chief . I hope this is of interest. If you'd like more information, please don't hesitate.
