"The biggest mystery is not why arXiv succeeded. Rather, it’s how it wasn’t killed by vested interests intent on protecting traditional academic publishing."

Nice talk by @givingtools about @unjournal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PegsSgZnapo , which uses peer-review-curate, for economics-related research, that we are also using at MetaROR.org for meta-science.

Provides journal-neutral quality peer reviews. They include some quantitative ratings, which we don't currently do at MetaRoR. #scientificPublishing
