“…According to the analysis presented by ESAC on transformative agreements shows exponential growth in open access, with more than 550,000 articles from 40 countries openly accessible in 2022. 8 Moreover, even a significant numbers of articles are available as pre-prints as well (Iborra et al, 2022; Rise of Preprints, 2020). Such a phenomenal increase in the availability of open access articles is one of the fundamental reasons to question the policy decision of a subscription-only model.…”

Indian science funding agencies have taken several policy measures to expedite access to scholarly knowledge. The proposed “one nation, one subscription” plan is one such initiative. The main aim of this initiative is to facilitate the availability and accessibility of research articles for all higher educational institutions (HEI). This paper reflects upon the suitability and aptness of this suggested policy through an analysis of Open Access (OA) publication trends. Using Scopus and other web sources, this article tracks how the OA publishing scenario (STEM fields) is changing in India and other top publishing countries. Based on the findings, we argue that a national subscription contract is limiting its scope by considering only the option of subscription and disregarding OA publishing options. However, subscription and open access publishing deals are short-term gains and will ultimately increase the dependency on commercial publishers. In the long term, encouraging research that helps solve local context-specific problems can only be addressed by strengthening the publishing infrastructure by national research funding agencies or respective higher educational institutions through publishing and promoting open access content.

“…Likewise, services with editors and coordinators can promote constructive dialog through moderation of comments. But for more open models that aim to minimize the impact of bad actors through community consensus, we need to continue to encourage a culture in which norms of collegiality are established through training and community regulation [20].…”

Preprints enable new forms of peer review that have the potential to be more thorough, inclusive, and collegial. In December 2022, 80 researchers and representatives of funders, institutions, preprint servers, journals, indexers, and review services were invited to gather online and at the Janelia Research Campus for a workshop on Recognizing Preprint Peer Review. Sponsored by HHMI, ASAPbio, and EMBO, this meeting aimed to catalyze community consensus and support for preprint peer review and to create model funder, institutional, and journal policies that recognize both preprints with reviews, and reviews of preprints. Here, we make a call to action to stakeholders in the community to help capture the growing momentum of preprint sharing and empower researchers to provide open and constructive peer review for preprints.

“…That said, some journals do make use of full and high-quality preprint reviews in their editorial process (Eisen MB 2022, Pulverer B 2019 (for more on this, see also the later section on transferable and portable preprint review). Although, preprint reviewers work outside of a journal's reviewing guidelines, they are expected to follow community guidelines and best practice when evaluating preprints (Iborra 2022, Foster 2021.…”

A primer on different models of peer review

Peer review is an essential process in which peers evaluate the quality and merit of each other’s work to inform decisions about funding or publication and to provide constructive feedback on shared research outputs. In the context of scholarly publishing, the goal of peer review is to enable subject-specific experts to evaluate scholarly work prior to its publication to ensure that it is robust, reliable, trustworthy and of good quality, and sometimes novel and of broad interest as well. In recent years, the process of peer review itself has undergone considerable change as the scholarly publishing and research communities seek to address key concerns about peer review. As such, how peer review is done is evolving and new models of peer review are being introduced by some scholarly journals. The purpose of this Primer is to provide researchers with an overview of how peer review is changing and to explain the different models of peer review that are being used by journal publishers and what they require of reviewers. I discuss here traditional and more recent peer review models, explain their key differences, and highlight issues for reviewers (especially new reviewers) to be aware of.
