corinalogan / CuttingEdgeOAjournal

This was a plan until Peer Community In came along. Now this repo is an archive of a conversation and resources for a 100% OA overlay journal on general science (or broader) that only publishes reproducible manuscripts with open, editorial-managed post-publication peer review, CC-BY, selects based on validity (not subjective impact), no APCs, and keeps up with modern publishing by incorporating new open practices as they're invented. Owned/run by NGO and/or the researchers themselves.

Free open source options = Open Journal Systems (developed by universities, https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/) @eLifeSciences Continuum (https://github.com/elifesciences/elife-continuum-documentation), now called Libero https://libero.pub/products/libero-publisher/

(Initial conversation on twitter: https://twitter.com/LoganCorina/status/872833978495115264)

Yvonne Nobis just pointed this out to me: "OpenAIRE is excellently placed to form the basis for a European Open Access Platform" http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/06/08/openaire-can-form-the-basis-for-a-truly-public-european-open-access-platform/

So the question is, what do we need from a platform based on #3 and other issues? Because I can imagine there are aspects that OJS/continuum might not be able to accomodate?

There would also be github - see for example ReScience and The Journal of Open Source Software.

This is a point by @corinalogan from issue #4

It is run off of GitHub, which is a privately owned company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub). I'm new to GitHub, but it seems like a pretty stable company that won't sell out to someone like Elsevier. But I guess there is always that possibility. What do you think?

Github is a private company indeed, but the software that underlies the whole thing, git, is open source and de-centralised, which means that with git clone, I get the whole thing (read on though...), and there is no concept of central repository.

What we don't get when cloning, is the web interface. We also don't get the issues and the wiki (no idea about the project), but these can be retrieved individually (the wiki is just another git repository, and issues can be retrieved through the API).
