RE: A publication portal for open, global and perpetual access to science

Nice post @lemouth. I have never heard of SciPost before, but the whole sharing of even reviewer comments and responses sounds good to me. Would perhaps keep reviewers from being antagonistic (as some are) if they knew their reviews would be available for all to see.

As a side note, the biosciences have also started an pre-print rxiv, biorxiv which seems like a good idea to getting more work out there and available for people to view for no cost.

Sort:  

Visible reports can make referees more careful (sometimes, the reports are really bad reports, I mean bad on scientific grounds). That's the most exciting feature to me :)

For your second point, I really see the arxiv part as a first step. The next one being community endorsement. I hope you ill get there at some point.
