#scientificjournal — Public Fediverse posts

Science says social media can have scientific value, as online discussions can catch errors or fraud in articles that can be missed in peer review. Well, there goes my confidence in peer reviews. On the other hand, this makes way for the first real open access journal that organises article reviews via social media.

It may be tempting for an editorial office to publish its journal on a research centre’s website, for example, or to create a page dedicated to its journal. It is indeed quite simple to create a web page and provide a list of published articles for each of the journal’s issue.

Then why choose to publish on an open access platform?
