Hi all,

I thought you might be interested in the announcement from eLife and the Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (Coko) that we have partnered to build a new open-source submission and peer-review platform. 

By joining forces, we hope to accelerate progress in delivering a modern, fast and user-driven system. The project will be designed to help streamline communications between authors, editors and reviewers at all stages of the submission and review process.

Giuliano Maciocci, eLife’s Head of Product, says: “The tasks of submitting and reviewing a manuscript should not be difficult, and any time spent on the administration of these processes could be better spent on ensuring the quality of the research itself. As such, the design of the system will ensure that all stakeholders are required to interact with it only when their input will have the most impact. Time is an important resource, and we hope our platform will help the publishing process require less of it from both authors and editors.”

As ever, if you’d like any more information or to speak with someone further, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

Best wishes,

Emily
