Publish-Review-Curate (PRC) Alliance

⏰Last chance to register for “Publish, Review, Curate (PRC): Shaping the future of scholarly publishing,” where we will discuss a new vision for research communication based on the PRC model—a vision that places openness, transparency, community participation, and scholarly judgment at its core.

Join us for the “Publish, Review, Curate (PRC): Shaping the future of scholarly publishing” launch event, where Ludo Waltman @ludowaltman.bsky.social, Scientific Director, Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University, will give a keynote talk.

Repositories help make research openly accessible 🔓, reducing reliance on costly💰, closed🔒 systems through new publishing models such as Publish, Review, Curate, which enables research to be shared when ready, with review and assessment made more transparent.

❌The scholarly publishing system is under intense pressure, ❌Researchers face increasing demands to publish, ❌Peer review is strained and often invisible, ❌Recognition for scholarly contributions beyond traditional articles remains limited.

How do various organizations, preprint servers, peer review services, curation services, and others contribute to creating tools and technology that make PRC a reality? You can learn from the ‘PRC in action’ panel during the PRC Alliance launch! Register! publish-review-curate.org/membership-c...

Next week is #OpenAccessWeek! We encourage you to celebrate it by joining the movement that aims to revolutionize the publishing system by moving away from gatekeeping practices to an open, transparent system where dialogue between researchers, reviewers, editors, and readers is encouraged!
