Project Requests
Financial Support
After the Lifecycle Journal’s 3-year pilot phase, we will have evidence of the strengths and weaknesses of the model and if its been successful we would seek further funding to build a more permanent infrastructure and ecosystem.
Volunteer Support
Lifecycle Journal aims to transform the vision and value of a journal as an effective facilitator of knowledge production and self-correction. To do this we require researchers to volunteer as authors and reviewers in the pilot stage to help prove our concept and help shape the future of the model.
Partnership
Lifecycle Journal will integrate opportunities for metascience research and is looking for metascientists to help conduct research on the journal. We are also looking for evaluation partners to join our marketplace of evaluation services.
Project Details
Description
The Center for Open Science (COS) is conducting a 3-year research and development project on a new model of scholarly communication called Lifecycle Journal to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses and suitability for transition into a scalable and sustainable solution.
Impact Statement
Lifecycle Journal puts publishing and evaluation in the control of the scholarly community itself. In addition to publishing services, it offers a community of practice for innovators and evaluators to try, evaluate, and improve new methods of evaluation by building a dynamic community-led collection of human, machine, and empirical credibility assessments.
