Also, is there a need to create an open access multidisciplinary repository (green open access) for effective altruism researchers? Or is the existing network of repositories enough?
Not sure if this was meant for me or Lauren. Anyways, I’ve been in touch with the people at PREreview and I think it ticks the right boxes.
I propose this in my “let’s do this already action plan HERE”
I think the crucial steps are
Set up an “experimental space” on PREreview allowing us to include additional, more quantitative metrics (they have offered this as a possibility)
Most important: Get funding and support (from Open Phil etc) and commitments (from GPI, RP, etc)
for people to do reviewing, rating, and feedback activities in our space PREreview
for ‘editorial’ people to oversee which research projects are relevant and assign relevant reviewers
Link arms with Cooper Smout and the “Free our Knowledge” pledges and initiatives like this one as much as possible
I don’t think setting up an OA journal with an impact factor is necessary. I think “credible quantitative peer review” is enough, and in fact the best mode. (But I am also supportive of open access journals with good feedback/rating models like SciPost, and it might be nice to have an EA-relevant place like this).
Thanks for your post!
Would an open access repository plus an open peer review system like PREreview or the Open Peer Review Module meet your needs?
