Just a quick note as The Unjournal was mentioned. We commission expert peer review and rating (and pay the evaluators) and all evaluation is made public. We focus on potentially-impactful work in economics, social science, and policy. We are aiming at a standard and metrics that will be comparable and can be benchmarked against the traditional journal tiers, as well as ratings and adding value on other dimensions.
Submitting your work to The Unjournal basically does not preclude you from also submitting it to anywhere else. We don’t ‘publish’ your work or claim ownership of it; you need to have it made available publicly (in an archive, working paper series, etc., we can advise on this if you like). We simply evaluate it.

Anyways, this is all stated better in our ‘nutshell explanation’, and our ‘why should authors engage’ and on our page (unjournal.org), which has an enabled chatbot you can use to ask it questions.
